Halloween, Parades, Stories, Oh My!

All the LVCC students were busy this week preparing for the Halloween festivities. Many of the activities centered around pumpkins, black cats and creative costumes. LVCC Campus Center paraded around historic Bethlehem in their costumes, while parents proudly played paparazzi. The youngest representation of the toddler group must have sent each other memos in advance. They were a roaring hit as a cub pack. Ms. Adams and her creative after-schoolers at LVCC Forks School decorated their class with Halloween artwork and created signs for their "Halloween Costume Show". Every child took home an award for their imaginative costumes. Ms. Dana at LVCC South Mountain Pre-K Counts read a story about an astronaut during reading circle time. Afterward, a number of students wanted to be an astronaut and wear a helmet for trick-or-treat! The Toddler Room stirred with anticipation as everyone took turns mixing a batch of Halloween brew on one side of the room, while the other side of the room learned about creepy bugs, yuck!

Robotics Rock!

With the help of Mr. Hans from Computer Explorers, the children from LVCC Ritter School and LVCC Nazareth Area Intermediate began their introduction to the principles of engineering. In this 10 week course, children in the after-school program, grades 1-5, participate in super-cool experiments using computers and LEGO® materials to build simple machines that actually move!

This week the LVCC Ritter School explored levers, pulleys, and wheels to create dancing birds. Wide-eyed, looks of excitement stirred throughout the class as our promising engineers activated the twirling birds. Soon, the entire room was filled with the singing computer noises. Everyone worked cooperatively to solve problems and had a "chirping" good time.

Rainy Days Don't Get ELC Down!




The rain fell hard outside today, but that didn't stop our budding 4-year olds in Pre-K Counts from the LVCC Judith Chase Early Learning Center. The creative juices flowed with all the active play, allowing the children to explore imagination.

Watch out Picasso, there's a new artist in town! This lil' tike showed us proper smock wear to keep her clothes clean and dry when creating a masterpiece.

And speaking of fashion, this belle of the tea party played "dress up" with all the fun clothes and accessories in the play closet. "Cinderella", as she called herself, modeled her sunflower hat to match her sunny disposition. She could pretend to be anyone or anything in her magical outfits.

Group play is A-OK as these tots demonstrated at the sand box. As they created sand castles and other cool shapes in the sand, the children learned the importance of tactile play and cooperative sharing.
