Thunderbird Preschool

Our room 3 senior/junior combined class, was busy exploring all our classroom has to offer- playing on our rug, reading books in the library, playing in our play pretend kitchen, boogying during music and movement, playing playdoh and painting. This week they both learned about classroom rules and safety in the classroom. Our seniors also did a self portrait and worked on writing their names, while juniors did some painting and talked about the importance of of being a good friend.

These cool cats in our Juniors T/Th am had the best time learning all about pets this week. They sorted pets and wild animals, made their own fish bowls and pet rocks, played in our stuffed animal vet clinic, and finished off a fun filled week with a stuffed animal pet parade and some time out enjoying the beautiful weather in our playground! 🐈🐶🐾🐠
