Eighth Street Preschool

Eighth Street Preschool Eighth Street Preschool is a service of Eighth Street Mennonite Church. We offer classes for three and four year-old children.

Eighth Street Preschool offers opportunities for each child to play and share with other children, develop self-confidence and find acceptable ways of expressing feelings
Classroom activities which include parents and grandparents sharing their interests, hobbies and skills. We lead activities which encourage curiosity and self-awareness. Our lead teachers hold college degrees in elementary educat

ion or early childhood education. Eighth Street Preschool works with Elkhart County Special Education Cooperative (ECSEC) by serving children with special needs. We offer an experience-based curriculum with units such as: The Farm, Spring, Families, Whales, Music, and Dinosaurs. Children also learn through art experiences emphasizing child’s creativity and field trips coordinated with units of study. Our facilities offer three rooms which are well-equipped for a variety of interest centers in which to discover and explore, an activity center for large motor development, and a fenced in playground for outdoor play.

It was a wormy day yesterday. We learned they have 5 hearts, we tried to figure out which part was the head and the tail end. They slithered on the wet paper towel and tried to hide under it. There was no hiding from these very observant watchers. 🤓

During our 5 senses unit we learned about-touch! We used our hands to touch slime, cut pasta, and add different textures to sticky contact paper. We used our feet to walk on rough and bumpy puzzle mats.

We have had a blast in our transportation unit! It’s an exciting topic for all the kids! Today we had a tractor come to preschool. We enjoyed learning about it from Farmer Tex and getting a chance to climb in.

I’ve been working on the railroad……..These kids have been working on learning about trains today! In circle we learned about different types of train cars and that different cars carry specific items. For example a tanker can carry enough water for 4 swimming pools! We thought that was a lot of water! We made a HUGE train going down the wall with train cars filled with items kids cut out of magazines. We made a railroad sign that helped us identify the letter R. Transportation is a huge hit in our class.

Transportation is our new theme…designing our own vehicles, making roads to drive on, selling train tickets and taking a trip on the “train” are just a few of the experiences we’ve had so far. Next week we will focus on boats, rockets and airplanes!
