Preschool Corner – February 2019

February 15, 2019 //  by McGinnis Woods School & Preschool

Johns Creek Preschool Valentine's CelebrationIt has been a busy month in the Preschool filled with a lot of hands on learning and exciting activities.

Aim for the Stars Preschool Activities and CurriculumWe kicked the month off right by learning all about Space. The children made constellations, rockets, memorized the planets and even ate real astronaut food!

Love was in the air the second week of February, as we celebrated Valentine’s Day. The children had cookie decorating parties and handed out valentines to their friends.

Preschool Activity for Dental Hygiene WeekSince the month of February is also Dental health month we took a week to learn about what dentists do, how to keep our teeth healthy and we even met a dentist from Windward Dentistry.

We wrapped the month up with learning about old time fairy tales.

The Preschool at McGinnis Woods Country Day School is looking forward to next month and, hopefully, the weather warming up! Make sure to mark your calendars now to save the date for upcoming special events such as our Scholastic Book Fair, a visit from the Leprechaun and Teacher Appreciation Week.
