A couple of funny little Quinn preschool stories. Every day in class, they talk about the weather and they do alot of seasonal activities. For example, they made negative leaf prints and collages with lots of fall folliage stuff (pinecones, leaves, etc). On our way home from preschool yesterday, we could see the leaves falling from the treas and Quinn said \”Wow! What a beautiful fall day!\”. I\’m sure one of his teachers said this and it was funny to hear him repeat it.
I also did a quick video of Quinn right after we got in the car to go home. I always bring him a snack and a drink because he is starving so he is waving around a great big PB&J. Then he started chatting….
Last night Don and I went to Back to School night and it was really amazing to see all the things that the kids do in class. The school does not use on particular teaching philosophy but pull in the best of each. You can see alot of the Monetessori teaching style, which we like In Quinn\’s class it is all play based learning and WOW they must be having fun.
Each week the school concentrates on one letter of the alphabet and this week was letter C. One of Quinn\’s teachers was telling a story about how they use a fishing tackle kind of box filled with objects that begin with the letter C. They showed the kids the items on Tuesday and on Thursday asked them if they remembered what was in the box. Well one little boy said \’Cars\’. They asked him how many cars, and he said \’2\’. They asked what color were the cards and he said \’Red and Yellow\’. The teachers were very impressed with this little boy and so are we :>) We spoke with Missy Bunny and she said that Quinn is really coming out of his shell in school.
Have I mentioned how much we love Sundance School? Yes, I have and I\’ll say it again…we love this school.
