Wow! We are having a wonderful time learning about the world around us here at Hands-On Developmental Preschool! Our field trip to the Arizona Museum of Natural History was a huge success. Everyone enjoyed exploring every nook and cranny of the museum. See the video link on the Hands-On Developmental Preschool Facebook page HERE!
There are lots of fun activities planned for December. Our theme is "Holiday Traditions." There will be some great art projects to be made and some fabulous stories to be read. Parents, we need to collect wide mouth, medium to large-sized glass jars for an art project we have planned.
Our December book order is due on December 9th (this is earlier than usual). This early date should allow your orders to arrive before Christmas. We appreciate your orders. For every online order that is placed, we earn $3 in books for our classroom. Click HERE or the link at the bottom of the homepage to be connected to Scholastic, and remember that our classroom code is HYL9G.
Don't forget to check out the Homework tab for fun activities you can do at home with your family! Maybe you will find some new family holiday traditions while you are there!
We will not be holding classes during Winter Break. We will see you back in January! The Tuesday/Thursday class will return on January 10th. The Wednesday/Friday class will return on January 11th. Have a wonderful vacation!

Happy October!
Your children had a wonderful time in September getting to know their new preschool friends. They shared favorite toys, listened to stories, created fabulous art projects, and did some cooking!
The exciting theme for October at Hands-On Developmental Preschool is "Colors, Shapes, and Patterns." We have lots of fun activities planned. Check the current calendar on the Calendar page above for the color of the day that the students are asked to wear. There will be a fantastically fun Halloween party! (Don't forget to sign up for party items and wish list items.)
As always, you can place a Scholastic book order. The order due date is October 29th, and the classroom code is HYL9G. The link is at the bottom of this blog, or click HERE.
October also brings our friend Buddy Bear! Each child gets to bring Buddy Bear home for some fantastic adventures and fun. Buddy Bear always brings excitement. Then, document the fun in Buddy Bear's special journal. See some examples below...
