Learning about Rocks in Preschool 2013 {Sahuarita Preschool}

We had so much fun learning about rocks this year! The kids loved the volcano, and asked for it several days afterwards!
I have a great CD and curriculum of "rock songs" called "Out of the Rock" that was given to me when I taught 2nd grade. I use a few of the songs, to teach the children the three groups of rocks, igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic; and where rocks come from. I also have a rock kit, with about 20 different rocks, and magnifying glasses, which is really fun and educational for the children. This is such a fun unit for me too!
Here is a little glimpse....

My husband and I had the pleasure of meeting Sharla in 2013 when I was searching out

an in-home preschool in the Sahuarita area for my son, who had just turned 3. She met

with us in her home and she allowed us to interview her. Her home was so warm and

welcoming and the preschool area was perfect. She met all of our standards and more. I

had looked into other in-home preschools prior to meeting Sharla, and was never satisfied

with either no certified teaching experience or the sincerity of an actual preschool.

My son is now 5 and ready for Kindergarten. Thanks to Sharla, he recognizes all letters

and numbers and has the best social skills a 5-year- old can have.

My 3-year- old daughter also started school this year with her big brother. She was very

attached to me. I was worried she wouldn’t adjust as well as my son did when he was 3

and starting preschool. Not once has my daughter refuse going to school. She loves it!

She is learning so much and looks forward to school days. I feel Sharla has been a huge

part of bringing out the social side of her. Both of my children adore Sharla!!!

I am impressed with Sharla’s organization, compassion, positive attitude, passion for

teaching and trustworthiness . I feel like Sharla and her students work as a family,

nothing but kindness and love for one another. Sharla lets the parents know exactly what

the students will be learning each week. Her lesson plans are very clear and engaging to

the children.

Sharla has not only been a preschool teacher to my children, she has become a true friend

to my family. I highly recommend her preschool!

Giggles-n-Grins Preschool is absolutely amazing. My son not only learned his ABCs, but he learned how to behave in a classroom setting as well. Sharla creates a perfect balance between the structure that preschoolers need and the fun, exciting learning that they crave. Her approach to teaching them keeps interested and wanting to come back. She promotes a great environment for them to ask questions and then discover the answers. They get the chance to succeed in things like writing their names and cutting out shapes, giving them self-confidence and the courage to try harder things. After checking into other preschools in the area, I knew this was the perfect fit for my son. He was more than ready for kindergarten after attending preschool with Miss Sharla for a year and continues to succeed. I know the foundation that he received from Sharla has set him up for a great educational experience as he grows up!

I have sent two children to Miss Sharla at Giggles n' Grins preschool and am so glad I did. My children, even my more introverted one, came out of the door with a smile every day. There is always something fun and artistic being done during the day and my kids were always very proud of their work. I was so impressed by how much they learned from beginning to end. I feel confident sending my children to Kindergarten having had a solid learning background. I couldn't have asked for a better first experience of school for my children.
