Great Beginnings Preschool

Our annual Great Beginnings Whale Watching Trip last Friday was one of the best!

Help Us Spread The Word! As most of you know, Great Beginnings is a really special place... so we need just the right person!

Happy Dot Day! Today we read Peter Reynolds book The Dot. It is a great reminder of how we make our mark in the world.

Learning about the five senses, colors, and shapes can be fun! #sweetorsalty #fivesenses #fingerpaintingwithsmells #tastingparty #shapes #primarycolors #secondarycolors #smells

Back to school activities included learning about the primary and secondary colors through experiences. Marble painting, watercolor experimentation, and reading Mouse Paint.

With the eclipse happening today, we made our own eclipse viewer. In California we only saw a partial eclipse, but it was fun to pass around the viewer (pinhole cereal box), for the kids to see. #diyeclipseviewer #whoneedsglasseswhenyouhaveacerealbox #greatbeginningspreschool #californiaeclipse2017

We've had a fun start to our summer session, learning all about animals that live in the sea. We know all about octopus, fish and hermit crabs!

We have been checking on April the Giraffe everyday this week at GB. The wait is finally over! April had her baby this morning.

Our grass baskets are all grown and ready to go home. Today we started coloring our hard boiled eggs and filled our baskets with some goodies.

Today at Great Beginnings, we enjoyed having Molly Hogan from Wildworks. We are so lucky to have the opportunity to see these beautiful, non-releasable wild animals up close.

We had a fun St. Patrick's day at Great Beginnings! The leprechauns made mischievous messes everywhere. We had a rainbow hunt to make pots of gold, we enjoyed a "green tasting" party, we found the leprechauns pants in our trap, we found gold coins scattered around the yard, and we tasted shamrock shakes after nap. Happy St. Patrick's Day!

We are getting ready for Molly Hogan, of Wildworks to come visit us on Wednesday, March 22nd with some of her non-releasable wild animals.

We are all ready for "Dad's Night" at Great Beginnings. We can't wait to see all our GB dad's with their kids tonight from 5-6:30!
