Preschool Take Two

Elias spent a semester attending a preschool and it was just ok. He didn’t love it. We decided it was a little too much so we downsized this semester and joined a preschool coop with a handful of families. 

We gather once a week and the moms teach different sections. The children always prepare their snack. Today happened to be baking pretzels. 

There is free play between sections. 

Handwriting teaches a letter each time. Today was W. 

Elias did a great job, and he likes the chalkboards. 

The pretzels were delicious. 

There is always an organized activity or art. Today was an observation station. Each child got five seconds to observe the items in the box. Then they were asked to share what they remember seeing in the box. Then each child got a card with a descriptive word and chose and item out of the box that their card described. Then they chose an item to keep.

Finally, they got a ball of clay to stick items into making a nature sculpture. It was very fun!

There is also music, bible story, and fairy tale. We’ve enjoyed it so far!
