The HES students were busy making ornaments to take home for the holidays. They began their day in the multipurpose room, where Mrs. Vezina read a story. Then, they traveled from classroom to classroom in designated groups, creating different ornaments in each room. They made macramé trees, cookies, gnomes, and wreaths. It was a fun and festive day for everyone!

The preschoolers in Ms. Janice's class learned about some traits of white tailed deer with the Harris Center. They went outside to study tree bark and talk about how deer eat the bark with their bottom teeth. They also had the opportunity to see and feel the smooth texture of a branch that had been stripped of its bark by a deer.

Our preschoolers were busy painting snow people with puffy paint that they made in the classroom. As they engaged in this hands-on activity, the children had the chance to explore textures and experiment with different objects to create their snow people. The puffy paint dried to a raised, soft texture and added an extra element of fun as kids could feel the texture of their snow people creations once they're finished.

This activity also encouraged them to practice basic concepts like shape recognition, and spatial awareness as they painted round bodies, added hats, scarves, and buttons, and position the eyes, nose, and arms. Working with puffy paint offers a sensory experience, making it easier for young children to stay engaged and focused, while also building their self-confidence as they proudly display their unique winter-themed art. Whether they're creating joyful snow people with bright scarves or decorating their snowy landscapes with sparkle, preschoolers gain a sense of accomplishment and creativity with every brushstroke.
