Happy 100th Day from Chilton House

The Kindergarten children in C2 have been getting ready for the 100th day of school! We have been talking about and practicing different ways to count to 100. Children were introduced to skip counting by tens, fives and twos. Students then practiced the pattern of skip counting with their bodies, jumping from one to twenty in different ways!

Indoor Skating

On days with cold and wet weather, we needed to be creative in finding ways to keep our little three-year-old class busy and moving. Last week we made "ice skates" out of cardboard and then laminated them so that the children could skate up and down the hallway. It was a lot of fun but not as easy as it appears to be! As the weather gets warmer we will definitely head up to the playground and really run around! (Post: Ms. Eickelberg)

Apple Tree Song Page

I received an e-mail yesterday from an alumna, class of 1994, who suggested it would be a nice touch for all alums to have a web page that features our beautiful Apple Tree Song. I couldn't agree more...

As I get better quality video and audio, I will add it to this page.
