Who I Am: Preschool class self portraits, body awareness, and imaginative play!

Posted on October 6, 2016   |   Category: Preschool Blog   |   Print this page

Who I Am

Preschool enters imaginative play daily with pride.

The children pose before announcing their super hero powers and running across the playground. They use teamwork to construct fire trucks and trains before they “go to work.” They emulate teachers, parents, mythical creatures, and story book characters. They are fantastic in their display of passion for who they are in that very moment. Their dedication to learning through play is both admirable, and inspirational.
