Fun in The Sun

The children and I had a wonderful year playing, learning and growing together.
They are ready for the next step in their elementary education.

I am confident these young learners will continue on life's journey,  joyfully experiencing new adventures and sharing the gifts that God has placed in their hearts.


Warmest wishes for a summer filled with sun and the joy of exploringinvestigating and
God's blessings!

Our Classroom Garden



The children harvested the lettuce from our classroom garden.  After smelling it and giving a thorough review... They declared, "This is the BEST lettuce ever!"





Maria harvested a bean from the plant we began growing in the classroom.  
You are a very good farmer Maria!





Our Field Trip to Buon Giorno

We had a fantastic time on our field trip!
The children enjoyed their special lunch.
Special thanks go out to the Tessier Family and the
people at Buon Giorno for hosting the event.

Healthy and Active Living


God's special gift...US!

The children know we need to take care of ourselves and so the learning adventure starts.

We are learning to be aware of healthy practices and our own well being. 

The children planted a salad garden in the classroom and water our growing plants.
We have read stories about healthy eating, discussed healthy food choices, and sorted food.
The children went shopping in the local grocery store advertisements and cut out pictures of healthy food to put in our Learning Logs.



We are learning about the importance of personal hygiene and cleaning our hands.

Check out the clip below and then check out our pictures of us doing the same investigation!

It's fun getting our hands dirty!

The paper towel did not do a good job.  My hands are still dirty.

I need to sing the ABC song and scrub my hands to get them nice and clean.


My hands are good and soapy!


Now my hands look clean!


Recording our observations.


We are learning ways to keep our bodies healthy by exercising and developing our muscles.

Gianna's mom visited our gym class and helped us learn some great yoga moves.  
Look below for a glimpse into our yoga class.
Special thanks go out to Mrs. Sirizzotti - We had an extraordinary time! 


We learned how to breathe the yoga way.
