November's Happenings!

The classroom has been extra busy lately and, as a result, the blog has been a little quiet! I am so excited to hand the blog over to Ms. Tiffany this week to tell you all about what the kiddos have been up to these past few weeks! Enjoy! 


From the notes of Ms. Tiffany:
Can you believe it is already December? Before you know it, we will be ringing in the New Year! The month of November was a busy one for us here at SEE. We started the month off by introducing our “Book of the Month” to the children. Each month we will introduce a new book that we will read to the children throughout the month, do art projects, talk about the characters, the setting and sequence of events, and do other supplemental activities with the kiddos. In November we focused on “The Leaf Man” By Lois Ehlert. We gathered leaves outside and each child got to make thier own creation with their findings just like in the story. We had Leaf Men, Leaf Bunnies, Leaf Birds and even a few Leaf Monsters! 

At the start of December we began a new story, “The Mitten” by Jan Brett. If you are not familiar with this story, a young boy named Nikki loses his white mitten in the snow. A whole group of animals try to squeeze inside to stay warm and the mitten stretches and stretches. When the last animal, a little mouse, wiggles his way on top of the big bears noes, he causes the bear to let out a big sneeze scattering the animals and the mitten all over the woods. Nikki then finds his stretched out mitten and makes his way safely home to his Baba. The children each got to decorate their own mitten and we even acted out the story as a big group! The kiddos loved being able to snuggle up inside our big “mitten”!

Since it has started to get a bit chilly here, we decided it was a good time to talk about some Arctic animals. We began by talking about the Arctic region. Did you know that there are no trees there? The ground is just too cold and hard for them to grow. Mrs. M also conducted a “Blubber Experiment.” We used Crisco and Ziploc bags to represent the blubber and skin of some animals. The children each got to take turns using the blubber glove and sticking their hand into ice cold water. We discovered that the Crisco kept our hand warm, just like the blubber does for the animals! This week we started our study of the biggest animal in the Arctic, the polar bear!

In between polar bear facts and our readings of the mitten the children earned their pajama party for being good classroom citizens. We all enjoyed (especially the teachers) wearing our comfy PJ’s, munching on popcorn and watching a short video. The children are already back to earning more gems and are excited for their next reward for being good classroom citizens!


What's Up Next?
In the upcoming weeks we will be learning about another Arctic animal, the penguin, talking about different holiday traditions and what we all do to celebrate with our family and friends, and creating our top secret holiday gift to send home to our families before we have a nice relaxing week off!

Upcoming Dates and Reminders:
December 21 and 22: Year-end PJ party and book swap - more info coming soon!
December 25-January 1: SEE closed for Winter Break 
January 2: School is open and we are back in action!
January 2: January tuition is due
January 15: SEE closed in observance of MLK Day

Show Me Your Muscles!

It was so great to have all of the parents in this past Tuesday for Curriculum Night! We just love showing off all of the children's artwork and school work. It was also great to see everyone. Thank you to all who made it!

This week the children were introduced to their muscles. We discussed why muscles are so important and how to keep them healthy! We learned that our bodies have more than 600 muscles and our strongest muscle is our gluteus maximus (aka our bum!).  The children also exercised their muscles during a movement group with Ms. Melissa. We all danced like ghosts and wiggled like worms.

This week also began fall explorations. Our very own SEE-grown pumpkin rests proudly on the manipulatives shelf. We worked so hard this summer to grow him we couldn't bear to carve him so he just hangs out among our jack-o-lanterns! Which brings us to our pumpkin explorations, there were lots of pumpkin guts to go around! The children, somewhat skeptically, scooped out the guts while the teachers and children planned what each jack-o-lantern would look like. This of course led to an experiment with Mrs. M! The children learned that a jack-o-lantern needs air to keep the flame inside alive. Without air, there would be no shining jack-o-lanterns on Halloween night! The children watched a candle inside of a closed jar slowly die out because the air was all used up. Same for the candle inside of the pumpkin with no face - there was no air to keep the candle alive. So, just as we had suspected, by carving a silly face in the pumpkin, air was able to flow through and the light shown bright! 

The children then used tweezers to carefully pick out the seeds from the pumpkin guts. Not only were the children practicing their fine motor skills, they also enjoyed prepping the seeds to cook for afternoon snack. The seeds weren't a big hit but the whole process was fun for all!

What's Up Next:
Halloween is coming and we will continue with pumpkin explorations. We will also continue learning about our muscles with exercise stations in the classroom and a muscle experiment. 

Upcoming Dates and Reminders:
October 29: Halloween Trunk-or-Treat! See Evite for more info!
October 31: Happy Halloween! Costumes will be allowed at school 
November 1: November Tuition is due
November 10 : SEE closed in observance of Veteran's Day
November 22: SEE closing at 3pm 
November 23-24: SEE closed for Thanksgiving

Dem Bones!

These past couple of weeks have certainly been "all about me." The children have been learning all about the bones in their bodies compared to the bones of other creatures! Ms. Tiffany discovered that the New England Aquarium loans animal kits to educators. She excitedly pickup an animal bones kit and the children have been able to see and feel what real animal bones are like. The largest bone that we received is the whale rib bone which measures about 28" long! The children were very curious and were excited to guess what kind of bone it is. Some on the guesses included a snake bone, dinosaur bone and a dog bone. The bones are displayed on the science table for the children to observe - parents will get a chance to see the display at Curriculum Night tomorrow night! 

In addition to seeing lots of interesting bones, the children had many discussions about the bones in our bodies. They learned the names for the arm bones (humorous, radius, ulna) and also why our heads are so hard (to protect our delicate brains). 

Now that fall is officially upon us, we are beginning to use our outdoor environment as inspiration for projects and activities. The children painted with pinecones, practiced their cutting skills to create 3D pumpkins and used marbles and paint to make spooky spider webs! We can't wait for everyone to see all of the art around the room!

Lastly, our artist of the month focus this month is on the ancient cave painting of the Lascaux Cave in France. The cave was discovered by a boy and his dog in 1940. The cave paintings date back to 1500 BC! Our students discussed that today we read books that tell us stories and back before books, people used pictures to tell stories. When shown pictures from the cave, the children observed that the figures in the paintings were mostly of animals including stags, horses, cattle, bulls, birds and bears.  The paleolithic people who created the art used minerals and possibly charcoal to create the paintings and colors they used. The children replicated the cave paintings which are now proudly hanging on the bulletin board in the classroom!


What's Up Next:
On to muscles! How do our muscles helps move and how can we keep our muscles strong?

Upcoming Dates and Reminders:
October 17: Curriculum Night for the pre-K and preschool groups - see Evite for more details and to RSVP!
October 29: Halloween Trunk-or-Treat! See Evite for more info!
October 31: Happy Halloween! Costumes will be allowed at school 
November 1: November Tuition is due

We've Hit the Ground Running!

It seems as though we blinked and these past two weeks were gone! We are loving our new school year and all of the new friends we are making. The children have been busy with their portfolios to prepare for curriculum night. We have also been getting to know all of our classmates really well. 

Last week the children brought in their "All About Me" bags. Each child had an opportunity to share all of their favorite things with the class. It was so much fun to listen and learn about our friends. The children brought in pictures of their family, favorite snacks, favorite activities, etc. The children were also asked a question of the day about their favorite things. We now know so much about everyone which makes our heart happy! 

On to this week! Did you know that there is a special shape inside of an apple? We cut an apple open to see and sure enough there was a star! Have you ever seen the star inside of an apple? All you have to do is turn an apple on its side and cut across the middle! This week, the group was introduced to apples as part of our fall unit! The children learned about the parts of an apple (skin, flesh, stem, core and seeds aka pips!). The children made yummy apple sauce taking turns to use the hand crank apple peeler. Everyone got a taste after the apple sauce cooled down. 

Lastly, our classroom Shutterfly share site is now live. Everyone received an invite via email earlier today. Check it out and look for monthly updates! Enjoy seeing the children busy at play! 

What's Up Next:
Next week we will continue with the fall theme while touching on the "all about me" theme from September with studies on bones! What are bones? Where can you find bones? How do bones help us? Are just a few questions we will be exploring next week!

Upcoming Dates and Reminders:
October 2: October tuition is due
October 9: SEE closed in observance of Columbus Day
October 17: Curriculum Night for the pre-K and preschool groups - see Evite for more details and to RSVP!
October 29: Halloween Trunk-or-Treat! See Evite for more info!

Welcome Back, Students!

After a whirlwind of a summer, we are back in action for another fun-filled school year! Last Tuesday was our first day of school and we were very excited to greet our returning friends and welcome in our newest friends. Our newly promoted Pre-K students entered the classroom with a new sense of pride as they began their final year of preschool. I just have to say that this was one of the smoothest transitions to preschool we have had and I do believe I have the Pre-K kiddos to thank as they took our new friends right under their wing! Today ends week two of the 2017/2018 school  year and we could not be happier to have a classroom full of chatter and laughter! 

The children spent last week exploring the classroom and settling back into a routine all while learning about their new friends. This  past week we dove right into portfolios to see how much everyone has grown in the past year. The children also had the opportunity to share a few of their favorite things from home. The children attentively listened to each classmate present their favorite things to the group. And finally, we welcomed Mr. Ed back to our classroom and we all had a blast singing and dancing along to his familiar tunes. 

Have you heard about our "Good Citizen" Jar? A good citizen helps friends in the classroom, helps during cleanup time, helps keep our art supplies tidy, etc. Every time a teacher catches a student begin a good citizen, they get a gem to place in the jar. Once the jar is filled with gems, the students will have a pajama party at school! Everyone is so excited to fill the jar with gems that our classroom has been exceptionally tidy lately :) We are off to a great start! 

Don't forget about our Little Free Library!
Have you gotten a chance to visit our Little Free Library? It's located just outside the front door to the building near the picnic table. Take a look and see what is there! Please remember that the LFL is run on a take a book/leave a book system. You are also welcome to borrow a book are return it when you are done. The idea is to keep books circulating around the community.  Our LFL is looking to all of you for your generous donations! If you have books to donate, we are especially looking for children's book (board books are ok too!). Teen and adult books are always welcome as well! If you would like to label them with our LFL labels before adding them to the library please drop them off with the teachers and we will happily add them to the library for you. Thank you all for your support!



Upcoming Dates and Reminders:
September 24: Karate class at Rising Storm Training Academy - see Evite for more details and to RSVP!
October 2: October tuition is due
October 9: SEE closed in observance of Columbus Day

A Reflection of Another Wonderful School Year!

And just like that, here we are, the last day of school. It has been a wonderful year full of learning, friendships, explorations and discoveries! We feel so lucky to have spent the last year with an amazing group of kiddos. We are also thankful for the amazing team of teachers who are nothing less than incredible. I call them all super heroes because that is in fact what they should really be called! These teachers created a school year full of curiosity, wonder and excitement for learning. I know for a fact that that is no small feat. It takes a special person to be able to create wonder out of the simplest things in life. I feel truly blessed to have these teachers in my life. 

The month of June has been our busiest month all year. We were practicing daily for our play, creating costumes, feverishly painting backscratchers for father's day (Happy Belated Father's Day! We hope you put those kiddos and backscratchers to good use!) and learning all about metamorphosis! 

The children had a blast learning about our caterpillars. It also worked out perfectly that they were ready to be released as we also said goodbye and good luck to our new kindergarteners.  The children arrived at school each day excited to see how big the caterpillars had grown. It seemed like they had doubled in sized each night. After a few days in the classroom, one by one the chrysalis' formed.  As we waited for our butterflies to emerged we learned the words metamorphosis (the process of transforming from a caterpillar to a butterfly inside the chrysalis), chrysalis (the protective casing for which the caterpillar goes through its metamorphosis), and proboscis (the mouth of the caterpillar; used for drinking nectar from flowers and fruits).  It seemed like we waited forever until one day the children discovered that one butterfly had emerged. It took two and a half days until all five butterflies were fluttering all around our butterfly habitat. After eating lots of yummy orange slices and after a chance to observe their beauty, we happily released them into the world. This past Monday, we bid farewell to Ana and Elsa. On Tuesday we said goodbye to Prince Hans (who wanted nothing to do with being released!) and finally, on Wednesday we let Lightening McQueen and Jackson Storm fly free! We wish you all a safe flight - Painted Lady Butterflies are migrators and will fly great distances to be in their preferred location. Isn't nature the coolest?!

I do have to say that the children's end-of-the-year adaptation of "The Hungry Thing" by Jan Slepian and Ann Seidler was quite outstanding! Everyone worked so hard to make the show a success! I am always so delighted to see the children shine on stage and that is what it is all about! We also had a blast at our cast party with lots of yummy treats that the families of our school donated (thank you!!) and it was an extra bonus to have Ms. Melissa and her sister, Sarah, face painting!!! We are so grateful for everyone's generosity and a shout out to our awesome neighbors, The Real School of Music, for graciously letting us borrow their stage and auditorium for two days!!!

Lastly, this past week the school year began to wind down with lots of time spend with friends. We asked the children what they most looked forward to this summer and we got some great/silly answers such as "I am going to do lots of cannon balls into the pool," "I am going to watch dolphins swim," and "I can't wait to play in the snow and go skiing!" We are not so sure about the last one but we all hope you find your snowy mountain! 

Don't forget about our Little Free Library!
Our Little Free Library is ready for more books! We need you to help us fill our library up! We are especially looking for children's book (board books are ok too!). Teen and adult books are always welcome as well! If you would like to label them with our LFL labels before adding them to the library please drop them off with the teachers and we will happily add them to the library for you. Thank you all for your support!

May Wrap-Up!

It has been a very busy few weeks around here! After we returned from spring break, we jumped right in to play preparations! This year the children will be performing a very silly story, "The Hungry Thing," by Jan Slepian and Ann Seidler. The inspiration came from the children's love of rhyming and, of course, all things silly! 
Everyone has been busy learning and practicing their lines, discussing what kind of costumes to make, what the scenery should look like and what kind of props we need to collect.  So far everything is moving along on schedule! We are so excited for everyone to see our play in a few weeks!

In addition to all of the play preparations, the children have been learning about seeds while we prepare for our veggie and herb garden.  We read the story, "One Bean" by Anne Rockwell and we patiently watched our beans sprout a root and a shoot! Once the beans were too big for the plastic bag they sprouted in, they were transfer to the garden on the playground.  The beans are going strong and the pumpkin seeds are also popping up out of the ground! Because of the rain lately, we have seen lots of worms on our playground.  The children have been helping to collect them to add to our garden. Worms are great for gardens because they make tunnels under the dirt that help the roots grow deeper.

We also celebrated Mother's Day! We talked a lot about how wonderful our mommies are and all of the great things they do for us! When asked, "Why do you love your mommy?" the children gave us LOTS of great answers including "because she gives me cool things for my birthday," "because she like my belly button," "Because she gives really good kisses and hugs," and "because she loves me!" We hope all of the SEE mommies had a wonderful Mother's Day and felt like a queen for the day!

Jackson Pollock was our artist of the month for May. The children learned that his nickname was "Action Jackson" and "Jack the Dripper" because he loved to get messy with his art.  The children also learned that Jackson Pollock did not use the nice paintbrushes like we use in our classroom, he mostly used tools like old hard paintbrushes, spatulas, string, turkey basters, sticks and even a bike to ride across his work! The children were simply amazed to find out that art does not aways mean paper and a paintbrush! 

Finally, our Praying Mantis egg finally hatched! The little babies emerged just as we were returning to school after spring break.  Judging by the size of the egg, we didn't anticipate the Praying Mantis babies being as big or as many as there were! After everyone had a chance to check them out, we released them into our outdoor fairy garden! 

The blog may be a little quiet over the next few weeks as we continue to prepare for our play! Stay tuned for an end-of-the-year wrap up in a few weeks!

Don't forget about our Little Free Library!
Our Little Free Library is undergoing some book renovations! We need you to help us fill our library up! We are especially looking for children's book (board books are ok too!). Teen and adult books are always welcome as well! We would like to label them with our LFL labels before adding them to the library so the books can continue to be circulated through the LFL community. All you have to do is drop them in the labeled bin right outside of our door and we will do the rest! Thank you all for your support!

Upcoming Dates and Reminders:
May 29: SEE closed in observance of Memorial Day
June 1: June Tuition is Due
June 22 and 23: End-of-the-Year Play and party! Each child has a specific performance date which was listed on the invitation that was sent home last week. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to ask!

It's Egg Week!

Last week was yet another busy week! If you ask me, one constant theme in our classroom is BUSY... But always in a happy, meaningful and exciting way!

During our bakery unit, one of our little learners asked, "Where does an egg come from?" And so it began, a unit on eggs! I think the most exciting thing for the teachers is to hear all of the excitement from the children. Across the classroom we have been hearing, "I didn't know alligators/octopuses/etc lay eggs" and "I thought only birds laid eggs!" The classroom was expertly transformed into a learning lab complete with several stations for egg explorations.  The science table is now home to a Praying Mantis nest as well as various egg-to-creature manipulatives for the children to explore the stages of creature development.  Stay tuned for praying mantis updates on Facebook!

In addition to egg explorations, the children were introduced to a new artist of the month, Georgia O'Keeffe! Georgia was an american artist was was considered the "Mother of American Modernism." She is best known for her paintings of enlarged flowers and landscapes however, the children studied and recreated her piece, "Ladder to the Moon" (1958). The children used vibrant watercolors to paint a beautiful, "gradient" sky for their moon. Salt was sprinkled on the wet paint to created stars in the sky and finally a ladder was carefully cut out by each child to add to their picture! The masterpieces will be up on the classroom bulletin board very soon! Stop in to take a look!

What's up next?
Did you know that no matter where animals lay their eggs, whether it is in a tree, in the sand, in the water, on a leaf or in a cave, it is always called a nest?! This week, the children will be leaning about different types of "oviparous animals" (aka animals that lay eggs) and where they make/find their nests.  The children will also participate in an egg drop challenge and experiment with different types of "protective" materials to protect the eggs from a long drop from the roof of the school (if Mrs. M is brave enough to climb all the way up there!). 


Upcoming Dates and Reminders:
April 17-21: SEE closed for Spring Break
April 25 & 26: School picture days! Stay tuned for more info!
May 1: May tuition is due
May 29: SEE closed in observance of Memorial Day

The SEE Cafe is Open for Business!

We had such a fun filled week! The classroom was transformed into a cafe complete with cooking station, server station, and fancy tables for our restaurant. Before the cafe opened, we had to "train our staff." We talked about who works in a restaurant and what their role is. The children also practiced walking with a tray - slow and steady!

On Tuesday and Wednesday, the fun really began! The teachers cooked up the most delicious waffles and the children took turns being the server. The guests were given a choice of waffles with blueberries, strawberries and/or whipped cream.  On their order sheets, the servers checked off what their guest ordered and prepared the correct order before bringing it out to the table.  The children were absolutely adorable and took their job very seriously! 

After the excitement of the cafe was over, the children were presented with different foods that look the same but are very different. For example, sugar vs. salt and lemon applesauce vs. regular applesauce.  First up was sugar vs. salt. The children were encouraged to use their senses to try and figure out which was which.  The children determined that it looked the same, felt the same and smelled the same. When it was shaken, the children reported that they both sounded like maracas! So our final sense, taste, was used to solve the mystery. Sure enough, our sense of taste was our most useful sense in helping us figure out which was which.  Again, our senses were helpful in helping us figure out which apple sauce was sour and which was sweet. Just like before, our sense of taste was the most useful!

To wrap up the week, the children made ice cream using some very simple ingredients: whole milk, vanilla and sugar plus ice and salt to make the magic happen (aka the chemical reaction!). To practice their new recipe following skills, the children first gathered all of the utensils (measuring cup, 2 ziplock bags), then all of their ingredients and finally, their recipe.  After the ingredients were added to a ziplock bag, the ice and salt were added to the second ziplock.  The ingredients bag was sealed and placed inside the ice "bath." Next step: shake, shake, shake and shake until you can't feel your hands any more (the teachers took over when it got too cold using oven mitts to complete the chilly process - perfect for a snowy morning). Final step: test your creation! It was a big hit in the classroom!

Home Extension Activity:
If you didn't have a chance to visit a restaurant, now is a great time to do so! Your child will be able to see a real restaurant in motion and he/she will be able to place an order with the practice they're had! Also, if you find yourself snowed in tomorrow, why not mix up a batch of vanilla ice cream?! You can also use cream, instead of whole milk, to make an even yummier creation. You can also mix in your toppings before you shake it all up! Yum!

Upcoming Dates and Reminders:
April 3: April Tuition is due
April 17-21: SEE closed for Spring Break
April 25 & 26: School picture days! Stay tuned for more info!
