Community Workers October 12, 2009

This month Level II is learning about community workers. We took a field trip to the Fire Station. There were so many things to learn about and see. The children enjoyed the Fire Safety demonstration, the CPR demonstration, viewing the helicopters, the K9 dogs, and walking through the ambulances and firetrucks.

         

    

Level II also had some special visitors in the classroom this month: A Highway Patrol Officer, Police Officer with his K9 dog, a x-ray technician, and a dentist. All of our visitors helped us learn about their jobs and responsibilities within the community.

Spring Program May 30, 2009

We finished the year with a fun and exciting Spring Program at Hatfieldelphia… A big thanks to them for sharing their adventurous park and playgrounds. The children loved singing in the big castle.  The children at My Smart World sang their favorite songs and recited poems for their parents and grandparents. The quilts that the children had been working on all year were completed and given to the students after the program. It was so exciting to see the cute pictures and artwork that they created, and not to mention how they improved throughout the year. They will surely treasure their special quilts for years to come. Have a fun summer kids, see you in the fall

Field Trip to Harmons February 6, 2009

We had a great time seeing how a grocery store works!  We watched the Deli slice cheese, saw how Bakery decorated cakes, and named lots of fruits and veggies in the Produce section.  We also went behind the “Employees Only” door and saw all the stock rooms.  Back at school, we set up our own store with cashiers and shoppers.  What a fun field trip!

Away to the pumpkin patch October 11, 2008

What a fun field trip!  All of the children at My Smart World preschool visited a local pumpkin patch.  They wandered through a maze, took lots of fun pictures, and saw what real turkeys look like!

 

Monte L. Bean Life Science Museum April 16, 2008

Monte L. Bean Life Science Museum

From the comfort of our own school the children had the opportunity to see both live and preserved animals, insects, plants, and fish. Exhibits were designed to teach the children the life cycles of each species examined. Thank you Monte L. Bean Life Science Museum for a hands-on discovery experience that each child loved.

One teacher described the experience like this:

We had a special visitor come to our school from the Bean Museum. He talked to us about different baby animals. We learned that some babies grow to look just like their parents, (like humans) while other change a lot! We saw eggs, chrysalis, and some stuffed baby animals. We also got to pet a real python named Cuddles, a tortoise named Thunder, and an African millipede named Smaug. What a neat experience!
