Fall Fun!
During the first month or so of the school year, after our Pre-Kers have settled into the routines of their individual campuses, all three preschools assemble in the North School "woods" for a festival celebrating the fall season.

Arts and Crafts
Stamped-leather wristbands
Grape-vine wreath decorating
Fall Leaf Painting
Games and Activities
Pumpkin Bowling
Hay Bale Play
Big Tarp Tic-Tac-Toe (using Jack-Be-Little Pumpkins)
Tasty Treats
Corn on the Cob
Tomato Focaccia
Watermelon Slices
Grapes on the Stem
And for Dessert...caramel dipped apples!
Fiesta Day
The prekindergarten students enrolled in the Hillsborough Preschools come together in late April for a Fiesta!
Fiesta Day is a special day when we celebrate the Mexican culture, and the Spanish that we have learned in class.
The children enjoy celebrating the culture of Mexico by making the following crafts: Huchol Yarn Art, Mexican Tin Cut Outs, decorate Maracas, and Mexican Bark Painting. The children also enjoy playing Loteria (Bingo) and making Mexican Hot Chocolate. The children finish the day singing and dancing to the songs Maestra Carolina has taught them throughout the school year.
A fun Fiesta for all!
Pre-K Fun Day
Pre-K Fun Day is where we celebrate all of our kids that we will be sending off to Kindergarten. North and West Preschool come down to South Preschool for the afternoon. We have a pizza party and different stations set up for the children to enjoy. The stations include:
Bubbles
Children get to make all sorts of cool bubbles and then chase them. If there is time, or the children want to do something different, there are balls for them to kick and chase on the field.
Golf
The children will hit the wiffle ball into each hoop and mark on their score card with the corresponding shape.
Mask Making
We will read The Little Red Hen. They will color a mask, and then staple it to a tongue depressor, if there is time have the children act it out.
Carpentry
The children will make a Jingle Sticks, Shaker, Wood block, or Kazoo. When done the children will play their musical instruments in their band.
Face Painting, Chalk, Visors & Water Play
The children will decorate a visor with permanent markers and stickers. This is also a great time for them to get their face painted. Once they are done with the visor, they may use the sidewalk chalk, and play in the water table.
This is a fun and exciting way to end our year with our Pre-K kids.
