Our first few weeks

Welcome to all our new friends! I wanted to share photos from our first few weeks together!




Painting on plexiglas with brushes and trucks. Some friends decided to make prints of their work while others just enjoyed the process.









Having fun in the dress up area.






The kids have really enjoyed added floor tiles to their structures. Some are now working on balancing them to build up.



One of our smaller sensory boxes contained small farm animals and machinery in coffee beans.



PVC pipe, funnels, pitchers, marbles and water in the large sensory table.



Learning to draw a straight line using a ruler.



Reading together in the book area.



Practicing one to one correspondence using a strawberry picker to place large marbles.


A sensory box to compliment the book Chicka Chicka Boom Boom.



Journal writing is a very popular activity for some of the children. Please feel free to look through your child's journal at any time!

The kids are settling into the Desert pretty well. We are working on expanding their freedom in the classroom as well as increasing their independence and self reliance. If you have a few moments, please read the first blog post we did back in March. A parent asked for a list of the children's responsibilities in the classroom in order to reinforce them at home. The March 11 post details those tasks the children perform.

Thanks for checking us out! Please let me know if you have any additional questions!
