One learning experience that our children and teachers have enjoyed is participating in the “Adopt a Cow” program. Our host family is the Deetz Family at Four Pines Farm Ltd. in Sugarcreek, Ohio. Over the next seven months, Farmer Mackenzie, from our host farm will help us learn about our cow (Maisy) and the farm she lives on.
Our infants and toddlers had great fun making their own cows with stampers and crayons. This art project was used to create our classroom farm. As the school year proceeds we will create and add new animals to the farm.

PK 1
During our vegetables unit, we discussed the different ways we eat our favorite vegetables and even tried some out in class, like popcorn and mashed potatoes! During our fruit unit, we made smoothies, tried different types of grapes, and concocted our own fruit salad! Our apple unit kept the ball rolling as we learned about how one of the most popular fruits keeps us healthy, comes in many different colors and sizes, and tastes yummy in many different ways! We tried green, yellow, and red apples, made applesauce, and made caramel apples! Our busy little chefs also worked with their alphabet, and developed fine motor skills like cutting and writing. There is never a dull moment in PK 1!
PK 2
While we work on a new letter each week, we also have been having Friday Show & Tell! This activity goes along with our letter of the week. We had a children’s author come to our classroom to read his book & sign a classroom copy. Also, the Fire Department came to visit as we begin to work on Community Helpers.
