Wow, what could I say? It’s wild here right now in the big play room. There are about 20-25 preschool kids and there are 3 preschool teachers and one parent, and that's including me. There is one big play room where there are blocks and 2 big slides, a mini see-saw, a big box of sand, puppets everywhere, a little tub filled with water, a place to play ‘house’, a place where you could color, tonka trucks, a piano, dolls, a fireman cap, and so any other things. The other room is where there are art supplies and corn meal for kids to play with, a pet snake, a big gold fish, and a quiet corner. Then there is the office and the supply room. This place brings back so many childhood memories of my preschool years.

Today is jumping day for the kids. They climb up this ladder one by one and leap off of the platform and land on a high pile of matteress. All I did was made sure that they jumped the right way and that they didn’t fall. I could tell that they really liked it. After that I helped one of the preschool teachers measure how tall everyone was and how much they weighed.
