This year, we’re starting a new adventure! Rocky Hill Co-op will be visiting the senior citizens at Stonebridge Assisted Living! We’re so excited about this! Stonebridge is right down the road from us on Montgomery Avenue! We’re starting off with our “seniors” (the fours!) going to visit, and we’re going bowling!

It happens every year. The first day of school, I look at the new “threes” and think, “They’re so young!” We teach the children everyday basics. How to put on a smock by yourself. Reminding them gently that smocks go back on the hook when they’re finished painting. They learn to clean up after themselves, and help others when they’re done.

“Look at me! I’m doing it! “ Not all of our learning happens in the classroom! We have a beautiful playground/park we use everyday. One school rule that disappoints our youngest students every year is “no baby swings.” They look at the “big” swings with suspicion. Now, at the beginning of October, many eyes are bright, shining, and full of pride. They can “pump!”
