Fun with Happy Feet!

Today at the WestMoreland school Pre-K and PreSchool had a special visitor! Happy Feet came and taught us some soccer moves! Coach Eris introduced us to "Bob" the soccer ball. We quickly learned he only likes feet!
















Coach Eris showed us how to use our feet to move the ball around the room.

















We also had a blast getting to kick a ball inside! Especially since T. Kim was at the other end of the room!










We then pretended to be baby bears and knock down cones. The trick was that we had to pick them up with our feet! We had fun doing this and did it several times!
















At the end of the class we did a did a big "GO TEAM" with our friends and Coach Eris. We all had so much fun with Happy Feet!

Social Soup: Curriculum Time at Westmoreland!

This week at the Westmoreland School the Pre-K, Preschool, and Toddlers classes created "Social Soup" during their curriculum time! Each child brought in their own contribution to the soup that they were going to make. It was an all vegetable soup, so the kiddos brought in veggies such as kale, fennel, tomatoes, sweet potatoes, celery, and much more!

With their ingredient from home in hand, each child got to add theirs to the special concoction! 










After cooking in the kitchen all morning, the soup was finally done and the kiddos were able to eat their "Social Soup" for lunch! 










Look at all those fresh vegetables! It was DELICIOUS! 


                                              

Also we would like to give a special thanks to the Parents who brought in these 
wonderful ingredients! :)
