Warm up activities that involve sensory play, letter and number games, or colors, shapes, and patterns.

Rug time where we learn songs, talk about bugs, the weather, or our feelings, have dance parties, stories, and picnics.

Daily arts & crafts that tie into our learning where students practice skills like following directions or finding ways to make something uniquely their own.

Time for self-directed book exploration. Even though they're not reading yet, they're still developing a love for books!

Hands on science! On this winter day, we got to feel different states of water, sang about the water cycle, and watched videos of snowflakes forming.

Learning through imagination! We may pretend to be astronauts or pollinators or pirates.

Frequent nature walk scavenger hunts. We get to make connections to the natural world with our texture vocabulary and the things we've been learning about seasons and weather. It's also a way to talk about and practice safety with roads, toads, and mushrooms.

Every year we participate in raising a Painted Lady Butterfly, a species native to Utah. We get to watch it grow as a caterpillar, learn about chrysalis, and release our butterfly when it's ready!
