Another 365 days has gone by for another little one!

Lyrics for our Celebration of Life Song:
Sung to The Wheels on the Bus

The Earth goes around the sun, the sun
The Earth goes around the sun.
It takes 12 months or 52 weeks or three hundred sixty five days.

The Solar System Song

A few parents have requested some of our famous lyrics! I will add a new song every now and then with some fun class photos!

The Solar System Song
Written By: Rebecca Kleen
Sung to the Tune of: Oh My Darlin'

Solar System, Solar System, Solar System on my mind
Oh It's just the Solar System and it orbits 'round the sun.

Mercury, then Venus third comes Earth and then Mars
Jupiter is the biggest, Saturn had all the rings.
Next comes Uranus with it's many moons then Neptune with it's wind
Last is Pluto, it's the smallest and the farthest from the sun.


Working with the Large Number Cards. This activity teaches children number place and value, ones, tens, hundreds, thousands. This activity also encourages children to count by 10's, 100's and 1000's


These girls are working with the Short Bead Stair and the Teen Bead Stair. These activities are teaching children to count from 1-10 recognizing the written number and the correct unit value. The Teen Bead Stair is showing us that a 10 bead unit is used for the 10's place and the colored unit pair matches with the 10 to make a larger number. Ex: One Ten bar plus 2 unit's is Twelve.



A Working Classroom. Each child works on a "work and Mat" choosing his or her own activities.

We were able to share special memories and moments from each year of the childs life. After the Birthday Walk we shared Cupcakes and a special Happy Birthday Song!

Kids in The Kitchen!


What a great first cooking experience! Ethan was able to crack the egg in one good smash, and no one sneezed in the bowl! The kids loved taking a turn and helping out. The favorite part was eating the cookies outside. I took a few pictures for you to enjoy!
