During the past few weeks at preschool we have been talking about all things apple related! We have done taste testing of red, green and yellow apples, graphing our favorite apples, a rotting apple experiment, made apple crescent rolls for snack, tasted apple cider and apple juice and created apple yarn ornaments, just to name a few!




We love when Mrs. Kane comes to do Second Step with us on Tuesdays! Second Step Early Learning includes a variety of activities that help students learn social-emotional skills. Second Step Early Learning has been shown to improve young students' executive-function skills-like attention, memory, and self-control which are not only predictive of Kindergarten readiness but are essential for success in and outside the classroom.
