Friends and Family

The last 2 weeks we have talked about being a good friend... what makes a good friend... and learned more about each other's families. We worked on doing things as a group. We learned how to use our voice when we are upset. We talked about sharing and how that doesn't mean you get something when you want it... it means asking a friend to let you use something when they are finished playing with it. 
Thank you to our families that sent in grandparent addresses... if you haven't yet please do so ASAP. We are missing a few family pics on our playground door.... you can text it or email it and we can print it out at preschool. 
Next week is Apple week. We would love each kiddo to bring in an apple or 2 for our apple activities! Have a great weekend!

Dr. Seuss

 Last week at PLA Academy, we had a blast celebrating Dr. Seuss! We spent the whole week exploring his whimsical world through stories, silly activities, and creative art projects. Here's a peek into our Seuss-tacular week: Monday: We kicked things off with everyone's favorite troublemaker, The Cat in the Hat! We donned our hats and sported red and white to match the iconic story. Instead of an individual art project, we collaborated on a giant Cat in the Hat hat – a masterpiece to remember! Tuesday: It was Silly Sock Day! Inspired by "The Foot Book," we unleashed our inner artists by walking through paint and across a long sheet of paper, leaving behind colorful footprints and mixing colors as we went. Wednesday: Get ready for "Wacky Wednesday!" Our classroom transformed into a land of the unexpected. From moved around furniture to misplaced objects, the kids had a blast spotting the wacky elements. Thursday: Green eggs and ham for breakfast? You bet! We em...

Dinosaurs 🦕

This week at PLA, we were transported back in time to the land of dinosaurs! We stomped, roared, and learned everything we could about these fascinating creatures. We unleashed our inner artists and painted with dinosaurs, leaving behind a trail of muddy dinosaur footprints. We even discovered just how big a Triceratops footprint is – it turns out, 11 of us can fit inside one! But the dino-mite fun didn't stop there! We played with dinosaurs in both the classroom and the playground, letting our imaginations run wild. We crafted stunning dinosaur silhouette art and created our own fossils using fossil dough. Our week ended with a bang (or should I say, an eruption?) as we created our very own volcanoes and fizzy dinosaur eggs using baking soda and vinegar. It was like a prehistoric science experiment come to life! One of our VIPs brought in the coolest dinosaur book, filled with dinosaur names (and pronunciations) and cool pictures. We all learned so much about these prehistoric gia...

Polar Animals - Hibernation and Migration

Image
The past two weeks in preschool have been a whirl of icy adventures and cozy critters! We jumped into the world of polar animals, reading books, making snowy owl paintings, and even creating our own icy sensory tubs with miniature penguins, seals, polar bears, and more polar animals. We also explored the mysteries of hibernation and migration. We learned which animals snuggle up for winter naps and which take long journeys south. Our imaginations soared with "picture starter art," where googly eyes became amazing creatures on blank paper! We even painted cozy bear caves and celebrated Groundhog Day with a shadow art adventure outside (spoiler alert: Punxatawny Phil didn't see his shadow!). ☀️ We learned a catchy hibernation song, welcomed our first two special "VIPS" (Very Important Preschoolers) who are graduating this year, and of course, celebrated some birthdays!
