Fairfield Preschool: April 2012

Here is the Fairfield Preschoolers' version of the Donald Crews book Ten Black Dots.

Gak Recipe

Make sure to use non-metal bowls and utensils

In one bowl combine: 1/2 c. warm water, 1 c. of Elmer's Glue. Mix until well blended.

In another bowl combine: 1 c. warm water and 4 tsp. Borax. Mix until Borax dissolves.

Add your preferred food coloring color to each bowl.

Pour the Borax mixture into the glue mixture and watch it turn into a stringy goop before your eyes. A grownup will need to knead the mixture until all of the water is worked in and you are left with a consistent, rubbery substance.

Preschool Registration

If you are interested in having your child be a part of the preschool classroom, you may call the early childhood programs office at 524-3613. All children who are 3 years old by September 1, can come to one of our monthly preschool screenings. We usually have one screening in Fairfield in the spring. A screening is just a 45 minute visit to a preschool classroom with other children and their parents. We will have activities and toys available for the kids the explore. After screening, your child is placed on a waiting list for preschool. We continue taking names and screening children up until June 1st. At that time, all children are placed in available preschool spots, priority is given to children who are 4 years old by September. If we are over capacity, children will be drawn from a lottery. If you have any concerns about your child's development, we also also offer education evaluations for children who may be in need of special education services.
