First Water Day of 2022!

​The sun is shining and it’s warm outside. You know what that means… water day! This year, we have several water tables with age appropriate toys for our littles. A few of them were hesitant at first, but once they saw other people playing in the water, they went all out! 

Look at that face! 

For our older classrooms, we got a BIG water slide! 

And for those who didn’t want to go down the slide, we provided a small pool with age appropriate fishing toys that they could play with

We could definitely tell how much fun they had by the smiles on their faces. Here’s to many more water days this summer! 

Special Guest Puppet Show: Jill Thatcher

 Last Wednesday we had a special guest - Jill Thatcher! She put on an ocean animal-themed puppet show for classrooms Preschool 1 and up. 

She sang songs and told stories in silly voices using her puppets. All of the kids were given the opportunity to participate by standing up, moving around, dancing, and singing along. We had so much participation from our kids! 

What better way is there to end our springtime and move right on into summer than with Ms. Thatcher's puppet show? 

Lemonade Stand

 We started off our week with a lemonade stand run by our PreK 1 and 2 kids! 

Our little volunteers were so generous in asking everyone who walked through the door, “Would you like some lemonade?”. 

They poured the lemonade themselves, restocked the bar when it was empty, and interacted with all the “customers”! 

We definitely have some future entrepreneurs on our hands! 

Frogstreet Cirriculum: Changes

​This month our PreK kids are going over changes in their curriculum. We extended the topic over to our Calendar for todays calendar activity so our whole school could participate! 

To show change, we had the parents bring in a picture of their child as a baby so the kids could see how much they’ve changed. 

We even had some pictures of our PreKers from their days in our infant classrooms! 

In our PS2 classroom, we showed our preschoolers that even though they’ve changed a lot, they still look just like themselves! 

Teacher Appreciation Week

Once a year our teachers get their early Christmas - Teacher Appreciation Week! 

This year our theme is “Oh the Places You’ll Go”. Every day we have a new destination for our teachers to visit and it’s always a surprise! 

Monday, we visited France, where our teachers were gifted paint supplies, as well as beignets for breakfast. The Turney family provided sandwiches for lunch! 

Tuesday, we landed in Mexico, where we gave our teachers little piñatas with a cash prize and tacos for lunch! Can you say, #TacoTuesday? 

Wednesday, we arrived in China, where our teachers got ramen bowls with chop sticks, and $30 off a massage! For lunch, we had Chinese food. 

We still have two whole days of traveling to do before the week is out. Who knows where we’ll go!

Every day this week our teachers are receiving plan tickets to their various destinations. And those who keep all their tickets may get a prize at the end of the week! 

April Teacher of the Month!

​Our March teacher of the month is… (drumroll, please)… 

Ms. Darian in Pre-K 1!

Ms. Darian has been with us for about 7 months now. During that time, she has made such a wonderful impact on our school and on our kids! She is always so involved in our daily calendar activities. She is patient, kind, and an all around wonderful teacher! 

She says her favorite thing about her job is “hearing all the crazy and funny things my kids say and getting to see the world through their eyes”. 

A couple fun facts about Ms. Darian include that she has a bachelor’s in music and she’s lived in both Japan and Germany! 

We appreciate you, Ms. Darian. If you see her in the halls, make sure to congratulate her on winning teacher of the month for April!

Easter Festivities

​Last Thursday we celebrated Easter with Easter egg hunts on our playgrounds and inviting the Easter bunny to visit! 

The kids had so much fun finding all the Easter eggs. There were a LOT to find! 

We even had some kids dress up in Easter attire. Look at our Pre-ker in his outfit! 

In the afternoon, we invited the Easter bunny to visit the classrooms and say hi! 

Even our teachers got a treat! 

As you can see, we had a BUSY day full of fun!

 Blog Buzzer Pt 3 - Last week Jesse took 80 eggs out of the 250 Easter eggs that were left. Uh oh! Jesse put 33 eggs back! How many Easter eggs are left at the school?
