To the Store

What a fun week in pre-k! We loved our visits to the Guilford Store. Traveling in small groups made the trip so engaging for the students, and gave them each an opportunity to be a real customer, ordering and paying with real money. We came back with lots of ideas to incorporate into our own Sugar Shack Cafe. BIG thanks to Hezekiah's mom Raylene and Aunt Cassie for giving us a great behind the scenes tour!

Ticks are out! A couple of kiddos have already had ticks embedded, so time to start those nightly tick checks. 

Tomorrow I'll have a table with a "wand making" activity set up at this fun Month of the Young Child event: 

 19th Annual Young Children’s Art Exhibit Opening Event

Saturday, April 8, 10:00-12:30 – Living Memorial Park, 61 Guilford St, Brattleboro

Come enjoy the work of our community’s youngest artists! Early childhood educators will be displaying their students’ artistic creations. Hands-on activities, refreshments, and information on resources in our community will be available. The  Brattleboro Food Co-op, Southern Vermont Natural History Museum, The Nature Museum of Grafton, Cheshire Children’s Museum, Early Learning Express Bookmobile, and performances by local musicians Robin Morgan & Ernesto Sanchez. (Rescheduled from April 1st due to rain).


I'd love to see you there!

We have flowers! These kiddos are doing some drawings during our afternoon playground time. 


But really, it's still pretty cold out there! This child is investigating the question Can trees without leaves be alive?  We cut some branches from a tree with no leaves, and used peelers to take a look underneath the bark. 

"There's green under there!"

"And I see white too!"

We loved our trips to the Guilford Store. This crew is learning about what goes on behind the counter. 

Paying for our treats

Such polite customers

Everyone was amazed that we could fit 4 kids in one car!

Enjoying their purchases. 


We had a wonderful visitor from the Brattleboro Food Coop teach us about cheese making. 

We got to mix up our own delicious cheese spread and enjoy it on crackers. 

Buddies in the woods

And check out that bare ground! Only a couple of ice patches left out there. :)


Have a great weekend everyone!
