I am a strong believer in community and working together to create an exceptional learning environment for our preschool friends. If there is a tradition, celebration, or something you would like us to try or would like to share with our kiddos please don't hesitate to reach out. All are welcome.

What has Preschool 2 been up to?

Our young explores have been learning about Ocean animals. We learned about sharks, whales and all kinds of fish. We saw a puffer fish blow up like a balloon when they are startle or being prey on by other sea creatures. We decided to do a couple of art projects based on our learning. We used dot to dot paint to color our tropical looking fish. We did a pufferfish art project. The children used yellow and white paint and a fork to make pufferfish. They used googly eyes and circles for the fish's open mouth look.

Our ocean theme would not be complete without adding some cute little hand print crabs. For this project we used red paint, and the left and right hand to make the claws. We read Rainbow Fish by Marcus Pfister. Fish Faces by Norbert Wu and Odd Ocean! by Ripley Readers. 123 Octopus counts by Rufus Downey. These were all wonderful books that we read and looked at during the week to help us learn more about the ocean and our wonderful sea creatures.

We continue our theme by pretending to be sharks, fish, jellyfish and octopus when we pretended to swim to the sink to wash hands or making our way to the bathroom.

Ask your child which sea animal they enjoyed being or liked learning about.
