Happy New Year!

We rang in 2020... Bloom 'N Grow style!
We practiced our counting skills and wore beautiful, handmade hats to celebrate the new year... a little early!

Happy 2020!

Hats on heads, ready to start the new year!

Holiday Performance!

Thank you to all who attended our holiday performance!

Our Bloom 'N Grow students did a great job with taking turns, following directions and working as a team to perform for you.  Way to go!

A Busy Start to December!

Snack time!

8th Grade helpers

We are so lucky to have 8th grade helpers come into our classroom everyday to help out!

What is inside of a pumpkin?

Exploring the inside of a pumpkin! The outside was hard and smooth and the inside was wet and gooey. We took turns pulling out seeds and counting them.

Pumpkin Farm Trip

Our first field trip to the pumpkin farm was a lot of fun! We went on a hayride through the pumpkin patch, saw many different animals and were able to pick out our very own pumpkin to take home!

Hard Workers

Working in our journals is fun, but we are also secretly strengthening our fine motor muscles - the first step in learning how to write.

Color Mixing Fun

After reading the books Mouse Paint and Little Blue and Little Yellow, we did our own color mixing just like in the stories. Instead of using paint brushes, we used our fingers to create some new colors. We started out with red, yellow and blue paint...and we were able to make orange, purple, green and brown by mixing them together!

Glue Sticks

Learning how to use a Glue Stick is a big deal in Preschool! We created colorful circle collages using our glue sticks.

School is FUN!

Our first few days of school have been exciting! We are learning our classroom routine, making new friends and discovering all of the fun things to do at school. It's going to be a great school year!

Meet and Greet

2019 - 2020 Preschool class Meet and Greet

Police Department Visit

We were lucky to have the Greendale Police Department make a visit to our classroom. We learned how Police officers help to keep our city and school safe!

Marble Painting

We used marbles that were covered in paint to decorate a Shamrock!  By moving the box side to side we made the marbles roll around and watched the paint move too!

Teddy Bear Day

Bringing our Teddy Bears to school was a lot of fun.  We read stories about bears, counted and sorted our bears, made bear pictures, created bear headbands to wear and showed our bears how cool school is!

Easel Painting

Artists Hard at Work!

Elasta-Band Fun

We love using our Elasta-Band during music and movement time.  Here we are using the band as we sing "The Wheels on The Bus".  As we hold onto the band, we lean back and then pull our bodies back up. This helps to strengthen our core muscles.  Lots of giggles are heard during this activity!

Chalk Snowflakes

Drawing winter pictures with chalk - it was fun to make snowflakes in all different colors!

Winter Trees

Since we do not have any real snow outside - we worked hard to create our very own snowy winter trees for our classroom!
