Monet? Monet for preschoolers?

What can preschoolers possibly do with a Monet theme? Well, we created a “Japanese Bridge and Water Lilies” on our “pond” rug! Some children balanced “water lilies” on their heads as they walked over the bridge. Some made water lilies out of playdough!

We looked at some of the paintings we’ll see at the Princeton Art Museum.

We learned that Monet didn’t like black, and liked to paint outside. He loved his gardens, and loved painting pictures of his pond and bridge!

Yesterday we walked to the Rocky Hill Post Office to mail our Valentines. We had a gorgeous, sunny day and the children noticed EVERYTHING along the way!

Each child had 42 cents and asked, “May I please have a stamp?” (I was so proud!) After they purchased their stamp, they put it on the X on their envelope! They then put their letters in to mail.

We then got to see what happens behind the scenes! Each child got to hand cancel their own letter, and put it in their PO Box or in the box for the mail truck.

Soon their decorated envelopes will be arriving home!

Last Wednesday night we had our third annual Campfire Singalong! Students and siblings (big and little) came in their pajamas, and parents and staff came to have fun! Our “campfire” was made of blocks, paper and flashlights!
