Tis The Season!!! 3 year old and 4 year old classes
December 19, 2016, 08:00 AMAt the preschool we are feeling the holiday season is upon us with all
the fun activities the children have been engaged in this month, from making
latkes, to decorating cookies with our big buddies, to playing in the snow. After
all those rainy days, the preschoolers were delighted to see the snow. On the
snowy days we headed out to the turf to play in the snow. I was surprised to see
most of the children just wanted to make foot tracks and seemed to enjoy looking at
each others foot tracks, jumping over tracks or seeing where the tracks would
take them and even guessing whose tracks the children saw.
Children strengthen their gross motor skills walking, running in the snow, learning how to balance their bodies on a slippery surface when walking in the snow. Children also learn to tightly pack snow, to build things. These are just a few of the many benefits of the snow season.
Have a wonderful relaxing winter break with family and friends.

Kaitlyn is tempted to put her feet into the big puddle but does not
want to get her runner wet!!! I wonder what decision she will make.
