Spotlight on JP

Here are some pictures from my recent visit to our beautiful JP Revere St. location!!

WEEKLY PORTFOLIOS
Elba and Janette (Pre-K teachers) were very inspired by the weekly portfolios that Pine Village created for the summer program.  Here's a sneak peek at how Elba makes a cover, adds weekly pictures, puts recipes, and includes the artwork all in one nice little package!!  :-)































Curriculum Wall in JP

Here's a better picture of the Curriculum Wall in JP as inspiration for YOUR curriculum walls that you will be creating in September!!

Spotlight on Kendall Square

Check out our beautiful school in Kendall Square!!!


Interactive Park Chart!!!
There are several parks that the teachers go to on a daily basis in Kendall Square, so as a way to communicate to the teachers AND to the parents where they are, Christie (toddler teacher), created this awesome interactive park chart!!

Each class puts their mascot (i.e. los leones, los pandas, los conejitos, los monitos) on the park that they are going to be going to before they walk out the door.  There is a real photograph of the park too!!  Absolutely brilliant!!  We'd love for ALL of the schools who travel to different parks to create something like this!! 
 So awesome!!

There is a green star placed on the staff member's name as the contact person for emergencies.

There's also a map of where all of the parks are located.  LOVE IT!!!



Weekly Bulletin Board

The teachers take turns designing the weekly bulletin board in the entrance to the school!!!

Here's Venezuela!!



Classroom Bulletin Board Displays
