Utopia Preschool

The children did an AMAZING job during our holiday show performance! They stole the show with their smiles, confident dancing, and loud voices. We are so proud of you, Utopia! Thank you to all the families who came out to support the children's hard work. Before the show, the children had a special Christmas movie in the classroom. We loved seeing them in their festive attire and being in school together in the evening. What a special night.

It's officially the holiday season and our classroom is buzzing with festivities. We have been creating decorations and for our classroom, including snowflakes, holiday cards, tree ornaments and gingerbread houses! Some of the children have also made Christmas wishlists for Santa.  The children are also working so hard to prepare for our holiday performance to "Mele Kalikimaka" next Wednesday! This will be many of their first times being on a big stage and we are so excited for them! Thank you Miss Jessica for teaching and choreographing our dance. 

This week we asked the children a curious question about animals! The children were asked to draw their animal, write down the word, and finish the end of the sentence. This activity supports reciprocal conversation, fine motor development, early writing, letter recognition, and understanding of living things!  Kara: I'd be a bunny so I can eat carrot soup! Caden: I'd be a horse so I can eat! Madeline: I'd be a butterfly so I can fly. I'd fly all the way to school. Mateo: I turn into a camel, rat, turtle and a dolphin! Luna Bella: If I could be an animal, I'd be a bird so I could fly away!  Emily: If I could be an animal, I'd be a cheetah because they run the fastest.  Colette: I'd be a butterfly so I could fly!  Christian: I be a lion because "ROAR!!!" Corinne: I would be a kitty cat because I can meow!
