We
at Harmony Preschool created a book list of featured literature from
each of our favorite Harmony themes. These
books were chosen by their past popularity as well as their support
of our nine key core values. We
hope these books help bridge the gap between home and school.

Native American Culture
Our Native American theme is in full swing here at Harmony Preschool. Preschoolers have enjoyed building tepees, dying fabric, cooking corn bread, creating pinch pots and much more! We have had so much fun exploring Native American artifacts from the University of Colorado's Museum of Natural History. We look forward to continuing to learn about the Native American culture over the next couple weeks.

Halloween Fun at Harmony Preschool
Harmony's black and orange party was filled with fun and laughter. Preschoolers enjoyed playing Witch Pitch, pinning the face on the jack-o-lantern, pumpkin bowling and creating many magnificent crafts. Our party ended with a very special visit from Big Pumpkin! Thank you to all the parent volunteers for making our party a success!

We have been having so much fun learning about Signs of Fall and enjoying Colorado's beautiful fall weather. Harmony Preschoolers have enjoyed carving pumpkins, diving into leaf piles, creating fall art and learning all about the season. Memories are being made each and every day!
