This morning, we took our Pre-K on a field trip to see the bus. We practiced parking lot and bus safety! They even enjoyed a safe drive around the parking lot.
We are so excited about Spring and all the beautiful, warm, sunny days ahead. Our teachers and students put together some really cute bulletin boards for March!
Preschool Pathways looked at pictures of flowers and compared and contrasted the different shapes, sizes and colors of the flowers. They then created a textured flower of their own to put in their classroom "garden".
