Beautiful Gardens!

Garden week was full of wonder and learning!  

It was so neat to see how the older children painted their picture of some children in a garden so carefully.  They have come so far since the beginning of the year.  They spent a lot of time making sure their paintings were just how they wanted them.  

 The children always love recess, but they especially enjoyed taking a few extra minutes to explore and appreciate our own garden at the preschool this week!  They noticed flowers, fruits, and insects!

 Looking for ladybugs on the rose bushes!

We learned that plants grow from seeds and had a great time planting our own little gardens to take home.  We also learned the three things plants need to grow: sun, water, and soil.  The children thoroughly enjoyed being little gardeners this week!

 Mother Goose came one last time for the school year.  She brings so much magic and wonder to our preschool!  We love Mother Goose!

 I love capturing the harmony we see in the preschool each week!  These children have learned so much this year and have become very good at sharing, taking turns, playing together, and creating new things!

We did a lot of wonderful things this week, but the highlight was definitely our field trip!  We walked to a nearby garden and enjoyed it’s beautiful, peaceful atmosphere.  We quietly listened for birds in the trees and carefully looked at the many darling statues all around the garden.  We saw trees, bushes, flowers, insects, birds, snails, and one class even found a little robin’s egg!

 This garden was a perfect place to have a little picnic and read a garden story too!

 The children ALL loved this dreamy little playhouse!  It is enchanting on the inside and out!  What fun they had playing in a little home just their size!  It was darling to see them play together and act out different family roles and delight in using their imaginations!

We are so grateful to the owners of the garden and playhouse for sharing their beautiful bit of heaven with us!
