At the Preschool this week, the spirit of fall has permeated throughout the building. In many of our classes, the children have spent time exploring pumpkins, apples, and the trees on campus. Some of the activities have includedguessing what's inside of a pumpkin, weighing pumpkins, tasting different types of apples, observing the changing colors of the leaves, and graphing the children's answers. Literacy, science and math concepts are embedded in these hands-on activities. The children are learning and experiencing joy at school.
On Friday morning, the preschoolers enjoyed a Fall Festival. Ms. Cindy kicked off the morning with a special sing-a-long, which was followed by a community snack with all of the children in the Preschool eating together. Then each class searched for pumpkins on the playground and played Halloween games such as bean bag toss, ghost fishing, photo frame decorating, dress-up, and ghastly golf. A fun time was had by all!

October 31, Professional Development Training for Teachers
Here's a glimpse into what the faculty will be up to on Halloween...
Morning Session:
Researchers have documented that attachment patterns established in early childhood can lead to many outcomes.
Dr. Hans Otto Kaak,
Professor, Psychiatry, Pediatrics and Social Work at the
University of Kentucky College of Medicine, will lead our
teachers in a discussion and exploration of this theory.
Afternoon Session:
Motivational speaker Dr. Telly Sellars will present an examination of Howard Earl Gardner's theory of Multiple Intelligences.
Gardner contends that each of the intelligences exists in every person -- though some are not fully developed. We will take an in-depth look at the various intelligences: linguistic, logical-mathematical, musical, special, kinesthetic, interpersonal, intrapersonal, and natural, to deepen our understandings of the learners in our classrooms.
