Community Helper
One of our parents came in to demonstrate how she helps out in the Long Beach community. She showed all of us how to take deep breaths and relax. Everyone got to use a kazoo to practice taking deep breaths. She also provided a happy jar and we wrote down what makes us happy and put it in the jar. When we are sad we can open the jar and remind ourselves of things that make us happy.
Preschool Zoo Field Trip
We went to the Santa Ana Zoo and saw so many different types of animals! We saw monkeys, camels, anteaters, birds and a huge boa constrictor! We also got to walk through a make shift rain forest! We can’t wait for our next field trip adventure.
Preschool Book Exchange
Friday we participated in the gift of giving. We each brought a wrapped book from home and exchanged with a friend. We came up with different ways of exchanging our books. We picked names out of a bag, we chose colored shapes to match with the ones attached to the book and we sang a song with our names to let us know when it was our turn to pick a book. We were able to experience what it was like to exchange gifts with one another.
End of Year Program 2017
Last week we had our annual Edgewater Preschool End of Year Program at the Grand in Long Beach. A early evening out enjoying watching the children perform songs on stage, getting a chance to dress up, maybe getting some good deals on some auction basket and getting the chance to meet some of our friends parents in a nice setting. Big thanks to all of the Edgewater team for working hard and putting on a smooth running evening.
Friendship Feast
We had our annual Friendship Feast yesterday here at Edgewater Preschool in Long Beach! We made all of the food in our classroom. We cooked beans, cut up fruits and veggies and made quesadilla’s! Enjoy the pictures!
Gardening, Making Pies, Making Masks and The Great California Shakeout
We’ve had an active week here at Edgewater Preschool! We helped each other water our garden, we made pumpkin pie from scratch, we created masks and we read a book during our read for the record time. We also participated/practiced the Great California Shakeout by climbing under the tables and ducking for cover. We call ourselves the “bunnies in the hole” so we know where to go if an earthquake ever happens.
Fall Festival and Tanaka Farms Field Trip
We had a full week of activities last week at Edgewater Preschool in Long Beach! We started off with our field trip to Tanaka Farm where we picked veggies and a pumpkin to take with us. We had to carry the pumpkin out all by ourselves without any help from an adult! Well, we did it! We took our pumpkins back to school and kept them there until Friday to decorate at our Fall Festival. During the week we cut vegetables to make Veggie soup for the Fall Festival. We had many activities including, face painting, bracelet making, story time, pumpkin decorating and soup eating! We hope you enjoy the photos from our busy week. A few more photos on our Facebook page.
Random fun at Preschool
Random pictures from week 2 of the new year. Edgewater Preschool in Long Beach is a year round school but September is the official start and when most of the classroom move ups are all complete, the toddlers have moved up to the preschool side and quite a few new toddlers have started. As you will see around the site, Edgewater is much more than a day care center!
