Baby Week II facilitated a continuation of our baby
exploration through play and discussion.
Additionally we broadened our scope to include
music, movement, literature and a "special guest"! We
pretend to be babies during Music and Movement time! At first we could only lay down, with time we
could roll over, soon we were crawling, and before you know it we were taking
our first steps!
In addition to reading lots of "Baby
Books", Baby Mikka came for several visits during story time.
Thank you to Isla's mommy, Sarah for coming in as our Guest Reader this week!

Let's
take a closer look at Parker's Artist in Residence Program.
This week
we once again extended our classroom beyond its four wall as the children
continued working with Sean and John as part of Parker's "Artist in Residence Program".
For the Pre-K Students, the program begins with an age-appropriate introduction to the timeless story teller William Shakespeare, then moves to a more detailed focus on the art of storytelling, while providing the children with ample opportunities to engage in music, movement and improvisation, and culminates with our young students participating in a school-wide performance for the Parker Community. As the photos illustrate so well, the children fully enjoyed their meetings with Sean and John, as they listened to stories, watched as parts of the story were enacted, and then participated in improvising parts of the story! Our "Artist in Residence" program broadens and deepens the children's exposure to, and participation in the arts, while providing a great opportunity for the children to assume their place in the larger Parker community!
