Listening Ears: Big Ears for the Little Kids
by Cheryl Golangco on Aug 20th, 2012

What you will need:

A circle is one of the basic shapes the kids learn in preschool, and the number of activities we can do with it is countless!

Clay… Playdough… noodles….these are just some of the many “toys” kids like to play with that really tap several skills all at once! With clay they get to practice their fine motor skills, their imagination, their creativity and so much more!

Giant Earth for Earth Day
by Cheryl Golangco on Apr 7th, 2012
I think earth day is a very important day which gives special attention to mother nature and the beautiful planet we live in. We take our world for granted and abuse it, assuming that somehow, everything will just get better on it's own... thing is, it isn't. And if there's one place to start.. it's with the kids.
So for our extended activity, we decided to have the kids make a gigantic earth! If you've read my previous post, you'd also know h...

by Cheryl Golangco on Mar 20th, 2012
One thing I love about being a preschool teacher besides working with my adorable students is the wonderful experiments we get to do day in and day out! Part of these experiments of course is ART!
