Preschool Prep Program

March 2015 

The March theme is “Green!! Preparing  for Spring”.  Our focus this month is green-green-everywhere (growing grass, fruit, garden salad, insects, and animals).

Our goal is to improve motor skills by playing and mixing colors (blue and yellow) to make various shades of green. We will also practice using paint, water colors, tissue paper and shaving cream.
