Science

We read Gotta Go! Gotta Go! by Sam Swope to spark our curiosity about butterflies. This book is a favorite and describes the story of a caterpillar driven by an unstoppable inner urge to travel south and transform. We all loved chanting the caterpillar’s refrain “I gotta go! I gotta go! I gotta go to Mexico!”

At Fox Hill School, our young learners never stop exploring — and this week was no exception! Our world adventure continued as we packed our imaginary bags and "flew" to Italy, wrapped up our visit Down Under, and even unlocked the science behind one of nature's most magical sights. Read on to see what your little ones were up to this week!

As we wrapped up our final week before Winter Break here at The Fox Hill School, our classrooms were full of excitement, creativity, and lots of holiday cheer. It was a fun week of learning and playing as we explored Hanukkah and Christmas together through stories, art, building, and play.

This week at Fox Hill School, we dove into We’re Going on a Leaf Hunt by Steve Metzger. The story follows a group of children who discover different kinds of leaves—and that each leaf belongs to a specific tree with its own fall color. This book is perfect for building early science skills. Preschoolers learn to observe, compare, classify, and make real-world connections—key components of early literacy and cognitive development.
