What an amazing first half-week in The Experiential School of Tampa Bay! The preschoolers were all smiles as they began exploring the many areas – and animals – in the classrooms. They are making new friends and reconnecting with old ones, discovering many facts about their classroom pets and learning many new routines.
The 4-5 year olds in Junior Kindergarten spent their first few days getting to know one another, learning each other’s names, talking about measurements and helping their teachers weigh and measure each classmate. “I’m 42 inches tall but Mr. Hedgehog is only 6 inches tall!” They really enjoyed measuring different items found around the classroom and began discussing which object was the tallest.
Mrs. Carson and Ms. Wiltshire’s “Tiny Seeds” planted Forget-me-not seeds on the first day in their 3-4 year old Alpha classroom.

The Tiny Seeds were delighted to help mix a batch of play-dough with their hands. It is both lavender colored and lavender scented. It smells wonderful but it isn’t for eating!
If your Alpha student is in Mrs. Schaedel and Miss Rosoff's class, you can practice playing Head, Shoulders, Knees and Toes like we did! (If you need a refresher, you can find one here.)
