Last week one of my student's mother talked with the class about India's Makar Sankranti festival. This festival features kites and sesame sweets. She helped the children make kites and then we went outside to fly them. It was the perfect day in Illinois for kite flying! A little breezy and temperatures in the low 40's. The children had a great time!<br />

We base the play on a story that we've read during the school year. Past year's plays have been based on Little Red Riding Hood, The Mitten, Peter and the Wolf to name a few. This year the children chose "Peter Pan". They rewrote the story to include several new characters! We had Peter Pan and Pierre Pan, Mittens the Cat, Martha the talking dog from "Martha Speaks", Baby Mario, Ariel, Stitch, and several others. The children and their parents came up with their costumes and the children decorated the backdrops. We practiced and practiced and practiced some more! The performance was marvelous! <br />

We had such a great time at the Pumpkin Patch last week! It was a very cold day! We walked and played with snow flurries surrounding us! This group of four year olds set a record for the fastest time walking to the patch, picking out a pumpkin, walking back from the patch, posing for a group picture, and walking back to a warm building! The quick pace kept us warm!<br />
Happy Halloween everyone!<br />

Coop is a special place for children and their families! Our small classes and adult to child ratio is superb! Our parents want to be involved in their child's education and that makes Coop a special place for preschool children!<br />
<br />
We offer classes for 2 year olds, 3 year olds, and 4 year olds. Each day you will find parents working side by side with the classroom teachers. The children are involved in the classroom activities. Coop follows "The Creative Curriculum" when planning activities. This year we begin using "Conscious Discipline" strategies in our classrooms. <br />
<br />
Contact Coop if you want more information. Our email is <a href="mailto:coopnurserycu@gmail.com">coopnurserycu@gmail.com</a> and our website is <a href="http://www.coopnursery.org/">www.coopnursery.org</a>. Look for us on facebook at Cooperative Nursery School and be sure to like our page!<br />
<br />
We are looking forward to filling our classrooms with the laughter of happy children for the 67th year!<br />

Coop is dedicated to the cooperative concept of early education where teachers, parents, and children work together to create the best learning environment for each child to reach their own potential of emotional, intellectual, and social growth. The teaching strategy used to reach our goal of responsiveness to individual learning is the Creative Curriculum by Diane Trister Dodge. This curriculum concept seeks to balance teacher-planned and child-initiated learning, and to respond to the individual strengths, interests, needs, and learning styles of each child.<br />

Coop has been educating preschool children since 1946! Please stop by for a visit!<br />

The leaves are starting to turn their beautiful yellows, oranges, and reds! There is 80 degree weather (like today) and 50 degree weather (predicted for tomorrow), rain, wind, thunderstorms, and shorter days. The farmers are in the fields, though the harvest this year is not great due to the horrible drought of spring and summer. The children are full of energy and counting the days until Halloween. It's a busy and very fun time for preschoolers!<br />

It's been a wonderful beginning! We learned about each other, our families, our homes, and emotions! We'll begin a journey into Fall next! Today our class went on our first field trip of the year! We visited a local park. It was the perfect introduction to our exploration of Fall! We went on the hunt for the elusive Beaver. Though we didn't see the Beaver we did see evidence of a Beaver. We explored the many large sculptures in the park, visited one of our student's garden plot, saw huge sunflowers, a windmill, and collected specimins that represented fall to us. We'll explore our findings on Monday! WELCOME FALL!<br />

It's been a busy Spring in the 4/5's class at Coop! We recently completed our study of art with an Art Gallery opening! Parents stopped in for a tour and for cookies and juice. The children used all kinds of art mediums to complete their works of art. Here a parent and student are looking at art that was created with flour, water, salt and food coloring. This made a beautiful and tactile work of art!</div>

It's hard to believe that the 2011-2012 year is almost over! Time does fly by! We'll conclude our year with an end of the year picnic at a local indoor playground with a short promotion ceremony.

Our class sizes are kept small to create a more intimate and focused learning environment. Our adult to child ratio averages 1:4 which is well below NAEYC accredited standards. Coop follows "The Creative Curriculum" which allows children to learn through play. The curriculum, along with the outstanding adult:child ratio at Coop, helps the teacher to create and teach learning activities so that each child's individual needs are met. The curriculum allows the children to learn at their own rate and adapts the environment to encompass all learning styles.<br />
