| Special Events We have many special events and visitors during the school year. Music To supplement our music theme on Wednesday afternoons, we have an instructor from Kidstunes come and visit our classrooms. The children enjoy this experience that introduces music and movement concepts in a truly fun and engaging way. Theatre Group Once a year we invite a traveling theatre group for young audiences to come to the school to perform an adaptation of a children's story in a fun, musical way. We spend a couple of days before they come to learn about the story in our classrooms. It is integrated into our weekly themes. They have performed a variety of stories including The Gingerbread Man, Stone Soup, and The Princess and the Pea. This is a big hit for the parents to see as well. Animal Visits To enhance our hibernation and migration themes in the winter, we invite a guest to bring in some friendly animal visitors. He brings in animals that hibernate or migrate along with some other fun animals ranging from porcupines and owls to monkeys and baby alligators. Magician Towards the end of the school year we have a magician come by and have some fun with magic tricks that often involve the children and the teachers. Celebrations We have many celebrations throughout the school year. We celebrate events from Thanksgiving and other special holidays to a Teddy Bear Tea Party and an End of Year Celebration and Graduation. Our celebration allows families to get to know each other and promote a sense of community. |
