April was an awesome month in the Preschool filled with wonderful activities and events. NAEYC celebrates the Week of the Young Child each year and this year it was the first week of April.
Each day of the week had a special theme:
- Music Monday
- Tasty Tuesday
- Work Together Wednesday
- Artsy Thursday
- Family Friday
The children really enjoyed all the activities we planned for the week’s themes.
Spring Carnival in the Preschool
The Annual Spring Carnival is always a highlight at McGinnis Woods and this year was no exception. We were happy to see so many families come out to enjoy the day with us. The beautiful weather added to the day and we felt like we were welcoming spring!
Each year, the preschoolers participate in an egg hunts. This tradition is a blast. This year the weather tried to put a damper on our fun, but it didn’t work. The colorful goodie filled eggs kept the children’s spirits high.
Preschooler Plant Gardens on Earth Day
On Earth Day, our 3-year-old classes spent the morning gardening and enjoying their picnic lunches. We look forward to watching all the flowers and vegetables that they planted grow. Thank you to the many parents who donated to the preschool gardens and a special thank you to the teachers for planning such a wonderful event.
Preschool In-School Field Trip from The Reptile Guy
We ended the month learning about reptiles and amphibians with a very special visit from “The Reptile Guy.” Keep a look out for all the exciting events to come as we wrap up the school year and jump into Summer fun and summer camps.
