During the past week, the Preschool/ Pre-kindergarten
children have been very interested in scaffolding (with some assistance from
the teacher ) the skills and abilities of their peers and have introduced such
new concepts as caring for the “infant”, sorting and grouping the colored beads
and identifying the letters in the alphabet puzzle. We have even learned about sequencing numbers
(in several one-on-one sessions) from one of our classmates who goes to
kindergarten in the morning.<o:p></o:p></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><b>One of the children shared her “light thing” that she “got at the store that way”
and she led us on a search around the classroom for “the darkest place in the
classroom” so that we could best see the light “when we hit on the ground and
it lights up”. We had several ideas-from
under the table to the various corners of the classroom- but discovered that
the small nook by the art shelf (where our cots used to be) offered the most
protection against the sunlight (and the largest dimensions) so that we could all
take turns bouncing the wand on the ground to cause the crown on the end to
light up. </b></span><span style="font-family: Century Gothic, sans-serif;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<h4>
Pears and tomatoes</h4>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">The preschoolers were excited to discover there were pears growing on the pear tree outside in the little field and tomatoes in Ms. Penny's garden (we picked several before the infants could eat them!) and decided to take their finds inside to gather additional information. We used the magnifying glasses and butter knives to learn that the tomatoes were ripe but squished when we tried to touch them and the pears were still unripe but both fruits had seeds.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Century Gothic', sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">The
preschool/ Pre-K class made an unexpected find one Wednesday morning when we went for an
early morning walk in the fog: hundreds (if not more) spider webs of various
sizes and shapes dotting the landscape.</span><span style="font-family: 'Century Gothic', sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;"> </span><span style="font-family: 'Century Gothic', sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">Some
of the webs were located on the grass and the trees while others were observed
on the gates around the playground and even the playground itself!</span><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh3e49OP1Da5BCf9CgOqCd71Zza8PRDkATTuvXxIZ45O-ecDPr5W9JarRSchCAu7XwzaZv-t3HJ9SML0_S572giiArnhGk6-n_HuoQyhMF1Gx609t-xj0_V5gDcA-bXu-Q7BYgMjWQrAIc/s1600/wednesday+september+3+002.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh3e49OP1Da5BCf9CgOqCd71Zza8PRDkATTuvXxIZ45O-ecDPr5W9JarRSchCAu7XwzaZv-t3HJ9SML0_S572giiArnhGk6-n_HuoQyhMF1Gx609t-xj0_V5gDcA-bXu-Q7BYgMjWQrAIc/s1600/wednesday+september+3+002.JPG" height="150" width="200" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh2zULWTZqg58CcnGwhWY3EBAawt14ou8dbDVhr2EYB-QZ-v1hVq0xIMgXp9Bo_2sBvCzJebGIS5JNKB-2T92O-hcWUw0r6uFVf7gNqJffyd-cqa3CQ9Xk7sF_Xmg20dOeKU6NIcPtovQ4/s1600/wednesday+september+3+003.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh2zULWTZqg58CcnGwhWY3EBAawt14ou8dbDVhr2EYB-QZ-v1hVq0xIMgXp9Bo_2sBvCzJebGIS5JNKB-2T92O-hcWUw0r6uFVf7gNqJffyd-cqa3CQ9Xk7sF_Xmg20dOeKU6NIcPtovQ4/s1600/wednesday+september+3+003.JPG" height="150" width="200" /></a></div>

<span style="color: orange;">One final note: We were very sad that Ms. Kris' children as well as other students who had been at Endeavor for several years left the program but wish them the best of luck in kindergarten and first-grade. We look forward to hearing about all their new adventures when we see them again! We were also very excited to welcome two new students from the toddler classroom who joined us in August.</span><br />

<br />
Special Considerations: With the uncertain Ohio climate, we recommend having your child dress in clothing that can be layered (shirt, sweater or zip sweatshirt) as well as wearing a warmer jacket and closed shoes. The preschool/ Pre-K children-and their teacher- love going outside in all sorts of weather!

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Parting is such sweet sorrow...and least for Ms. Sara and the children in the preschool classroom.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">August was a month of goodbyes and hellos as we said goodbye to the summer campers and children starting kindergarten and first grade and hello to two children transitioning from the toddler class. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: 'Century Gothic', sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">On
Monday we combined baking soda, distilled white vinegar and liquid sidewalk
chalk to create colored volcanoes for our last science experiment at
Endeavor Learning Center with a child who starts first grade this week!. Even though the
experiment fizzled (her dad said it was because the calcium
carbonate in the chalk cancelled the acidity of the vinegar), we still enjoyed
exploring and physically manipulating the results. <i>All the photographs were
taken by the child who taught the activity. </i><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

The summer class started our camp with an exciting new addition to our routine...a schedule of garden-related duties created especially for us by Ms. Donna. The children were very excited about their additional responsibilities to the school community...even collecting the compost buckets from the other classrooms and bringing them to the compost bin outside by the pine trees.<br />

We then utilized our bodies to measure the garden (it took approximately sixteen children) and discussed (with the assistance of Ms. Donna and Ms. Penny) the logistics of planting both vegetables and flowers in addition to plotting the position of each chosen seed.<br />

Inspired by the book <u>Little Apple Goat</u> (written by Caroline Jayne Church) we used our imagination to "spit" and throw wildflower seeds over the hedge and into the grass, on the ground and into holes in the ground. in the process, we discovered that seeds of some flowers and plants are bigger than the others and discussed how long each might take to grow.<br />

After we "harvested" (well, Ms. Sara went to the store), we collaborated to make berry jam as a retirement present for Ms. Luann. In the process, we utilized our investigative skills to observe and report that "the sugar goes away when the berries go into it" and that "you can't see the sugar anymore".<br />

May brought flowers and nature walks and sparked an interest in all things slimy and crawly.<br />

<span style="color: #274e13;"><b>The adventures of Doug the toad.</b></span><br />
<span style="color: #274e13;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="color: #274e13;"><b>One early Tuesday morning Ms. Penny was greeted by a surprise visitor who was waiting at the door-a toad-when she arrived at school. The Preschool class was intrigued by this new addition to our community and spent a large portion of their morning observing the toad ("I think we should name him 'Doug'." said one preschooler) in the cage Ms. Penny found for him. We speculated on why he had chosen to come to our building and had answers ranging from "He was lost." to "He wanted to enroll at Endeavor Learning Center." (my addition :)). We also debated-quite hotly at times-whether this unexpected guest was a frog or a toad and finally decided-after consulting the informational texts in the classroom as well as more knowledgeable sources such as Ms. Penny and Ms. Donna-that Doug the toad was indeed a species of animal known as the American toad. At the end of the day, we took the cage-and Doug-outside and watched as he (eventually) decided to leave his cage to find a new home somewhere on our playground.</b></span><br />

We missed Doug the Toad so much that we decided to build him his own habitat right in our backyard. We consulted our "swamp" books, decided what materials should be used to make a swamp (grass, twigs and leaves as well as water and dirt), and surveyed the area for the best possible location. Eventually, we choose to construct our new swamp in the fire pit as well as in a small elliptical shaped hole in the ground on the small field behind the school-just to increase the probability that Doug would return to either location.</div>

We enjoyed building a new home for Doug the Toad-even though he never returned-that we decided to create a "swamp habitat" for our "swamp animals" that "lived" in the classroom. We also discovered that plant matter would eventually dissolve if left in water for a few days-a perfect representation of the smell of the swamp-but not so great for the classroom.</div>

We also studied the flora and fauna that inhabits the swamp and discovered a flower called the skunk cabbage-that supposedly smells like skunks. Good thing there are not any real swamps or wetlands around our school. One of our older classmates was so excited about our discovery that she shared this information with all the other students-and the adults-and made up a game!</div>

And of course we had lots of fun reading one of our all time favorite books-Bedtime in the Swamp-and figuring out what the monster really was that chased everybody up the tree. Some of the class stated that it was the alligator while others postulated that it was the "mommy cause she was going to make them go to bed." </div>

We love spending time with our classmates and the toddlers...whether it is working on a project, discussing (and debating) scientific ideas and opinions or simply playing together in the large motor room or outside. Here is a link to an article from the Illinois Early Learning Institute with tips for supporting your child in their social (and academic) success.<br />
<a href="http://illinoisearlylearning.org/tipsheets/makekeepfriends.pdf" target="_blank">http://illinoisearlylearning.org/tipsheets/makekeepfriends.pdf</a><br />
<br />
Thank you all for a wonderful year so far!!<br />
<br />
<br />
Special note: We will be having several field trips throughout the summer. Please try to bring your child at least fifteen minutes before the scheduled departure date (check with Ms. Donna if you need the times and dates) as this ensures that the child completes their transition (bathroom, handwashing, hugs and kisses, etc) before we leave. We are also asking that parents please put on their child's sunscreen in the morning so we can go outside as quickly as possible (especially important for days when it will be too hot later in the afternoon).<br />

<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;">With the change in weather, our class will be spending a larger portion of our day engaged in outdoor (and possibly very messy) activities. Please make sure that your child has at least two changes of clothes (including underwear and socks), a lightweight jacket or sweater (in case the mornings are cool) and a sturdy pair of walking shoes and sunscreen (no aerosol cans please). We are also asking parents and other adults refrain from parking next to the grassy hill by the parking lot to ensure the continued safety of the children in our class as well as those in the toddler and infant classrooms. </span><br />

is always exciting in the preschool classroom. The past two months we have read
nonfiction books about architecture and animals, stories about monsters who
need haircuts and aliens who want snacks, and reviewed our accomplishments in
our portfolio. We have also made our own versions of our favorite books and
illustrated them. And of course “new book Monday” is a perennial favorite-we
never know what books Ms. Sara will add to our library. <o:p></o:p></span><br />

Can you spot the difference between these sets
of pictures-we could! Autumn in Ohio provided us with not only the opportunity
for several walks in the leaves but the excitement of exploring the environment
after two unexpected snowfalls. In early November, we went on a nature “hike”
through the front of the property and discussed the rotting pumpkins in the
garden, noted the seasonal changes like the different colors on the trees, and
rolled down the hill in the leaves. After we returned from Thanksgiving, we put
on our snowsuits and hats and gloves and boots (thank you for bringing in
everything <span style="font-family: Wingdings;">J</span>)
and went outside to play in the snow. We made snow angels, found the tracks of
several animals (including our class) that had already investigated the snow,
and debated what had happened to the bird whose feathers we discovered by the
pine trees. The answers for that question ranged from that the “bird got really
cold and the feathers were frozen and fell off” to “the bunny was hungry and
ate the bird.” (we promise we have not been reading <u>Bunnicula</u>!)<span style="font-size: x-small;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

Need assistance after the holidays? The
preschool-PreK class is available to help complete your tasks. The students can
assist with party planning and preparation-including cleaning the tables and
chairs and sweeping the floor, writing out invitations and thank-you notes,
counting the people who are arriving and ensuring the table has the correct
number of place settings, taking pictures and writing down messages, making
guest beds and doing the laundry when they leave and completing those pesky
end-of-year-reports. The members of our group also will gladly assist in caring
for younger children and may even be persuaded to entertain your guests!<o:p></o:p></div>

We love Ohio-especially the weather! The children loved
exploring the property and noting all the changes that were occurring-from the
colors of the leaves to the drop in temperature (especially in the morning) to
the antics of the squirrels and chipmunks (and the birds) as they looked for
food. The early snowstorms we have had also provided us with the opportunity to
further extend our understanding of earth sciences as we compared the
differences between the way the ground sounded as we walked through the leaves
and the snow and how the garden looked before and after it snowed as well as
providing opportunities to discuss what the animals do in the winter time. We
even got to explore how the leaves and the snow felt on our bodies as we sat in
the leaves and the snow and made leaf and snow angels.</div>

The children have also extended their knowledge of basic
mathematical and scientific concepts through observation and group
interactions. Several children discovered that constructing a system of pylons
to place by the end of a large construction tube would allow the ball-or sled (
a wooden block) to continue on a straight trajectory rather than veer off
course. Other students have been counting everything in the classroom, from the
number of students (and teachers) that are present to the number of dots on
someone’s socks. They have begun integrating this newly discovered knowledge
into their active play, pretending to be owl babies who are waiting patiently
at night for the mommy owl to come and feed them, caring for “sick” or
“injured” classmates, and fixing the robots that arrived as a late Christmas
present for Ms. Sara. </div>

Need help finishing those belated holiday cards or those
thank-you notes? Just ask the preschoolers! They have been very excited about
their discovery that they can write their names (as well as the names of all
their classmates) and have been working hard to master such skills as eye-hand
coordination, task perseverance, willingness to try new activities and of
course an understanding of the formation of letters and the alphabet that will
be extremely useful in future endeavors. Over the past few weeks, the preschoolers have also been
very interested in assisting Ms. Sara to not only to write their own daily
reports but to plan learning experiences and create new works (activities) for
the classroom and to complete their own conference forms. </div>

Please remember to note what time your child has arrived or
been picked up on the weekly time sheet –especially if your teacher has not yet
entered the building or has finished teaching for the day. This is important
not just for our records but assists your child to master an understanding of
how time is measured</div>

Time flies when we are investigating new topics of interest. The children were quite fascinated by the rotting gourds that we discovered in the classroom and decided to add them to the garden so that we could not only have our own gourds next year (along with pumpkins and green beans) but watch the process of decomposition through the late fall and winter. We also had lots of fun exploring the pumpkins that one of the room mommies purchased for our class-we scooped out the pulp (we were very surprised to note that most of the pulp had "evaporated"), counted all the seeds we found (the total was somewhere between one hundred and seventy six and one hundred thousand lots), and made pumpkin soup with the seeds and pulp. We then made our very own pumpkin "pulp" (to compensate for the lack of real pulp) using cornstarch, water, and food coloring and cooked pumpkin soup (we have really enjoyed the series of books featuring a cat, a squirrel, and a duck who love pumpkin soup)-although we all agreed we liked the process much better than the result! After we investigated all the parts of the pumpkin, we wrote a thank-you note to the "mommy" who had purchased the pumpkins for us-complete with drawings of our findings, pictures of the class engaged in their activities, and our names.<br />
<br />
In addition to our classroom scientific investigations, we went on a field trip to Blooms and Berries. We took a hayride through a forest, played in a life-size sensory bin filled with corn, helped the ducks navigate the water, and picked our own pumpkins from the pumpkin field. The children, Ms. Luann and Ms. Sara even had an adventure on the way to Blooms and Berries-we realized the winding roads were very similar to the roller coaster ride at King's Island.<br />
<br />
Halloween was a prominent feature of last month's group discussions. We talked about what costumes we might wear (and what our family members and teachers might dress up as), created costumes for our stuffed animals and dolls, and allowed our classmates to explore and investigate our costumes on the big day itself. We also learned how to walk (and groan) like "zombie Frankenstein monsters", read several stories about monsters (we all had our own favorites), made "green goblin exploding goo" utilizing baking soda and vinegar (and food coloring), and listened to "scary music" such as "The Sorcerer's Apprentice" and Bach's Toccata. And, of course, we had a Halloween parade with the toddler and infant classes to show off our new "zombie moves" and our costumes to our families.<br />

<br />
Can you believe it is October ? The children have been fascinated by the changes we have observed out the classroom window and when we take walks around the property. We discovered that some creatures (or creatures) took some of the fruit out of the garden and left a trail of seeds by the pine trees for us to follow. We also have been very intrigued by the idea that squelshy shoes can leave footprints on the cement path behind the building and have spent lots of time trying out our ideas. And of course we always enjoy watching the local wildlife that comes to the bird feeder-especially the antics of the chipmunk as it tries to determine the best way to gather all the birdseed from inside the feeder.<br />
<br />
We also had a visit from Jane Gonzales who talked to us about how apples grow and told us the story of "Johnny Appleseed" (John Chapman) who planted some of the first apple trees in Ohio and across the Midwest. We even got to imagine that we were Johnny Appleseed-although we were not too excited about the costume!<br />

Loose parts is the main theme for the school this summer. We invited a loose parts</div>

expert to show the kids how common objects can be used with water. The children </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
were able to create something that could be put in the water and for them to discover</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
what would happen to their creation. They used tubes of different sizes and materials in </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
