First Day of Preschool 2017

We are ready for a brand new school year!  Here is our new class wearing their preschool crowns at the end of the first day!

Learning about Feelings in Preschool

We are learning about feelings this month during our social skills time in preschool. Check out some of the activities we've been doing....

We read the book "Sad Monster, Glad Monster" and tried on different feelings masks while acting out the emotion.

Feelings monsters

We played "Feelings Animals."  Students rolled the dice and acted out the animal and the emotion.  It was pretty funny watching them act out "Disgusted Cow."

Jump Start to Fire Safety Week

We kicked off our fire safety week (starting this upcoming week) by getting a visit from the fire department.  They taught us about fire safety and brought a firetruck to share.

A special thanks to Tom Menke for sharing your time with us to talk about fire safety!!
