I can't wait to see you all there!!

Welcome Back!

Welcome Back to a new school year at Adventure Preschool!

2017-2018

My name is Heidi Plasek - I've been teaching for 19 years, 11 of which have been in Parkers Prairie in ECFE and Preschool.  I have a son in 10th grade and a daughter in 6th grade.  I have been married for 17 years! Our family has 2 cats: Piper and Sheldon and 1 dog: Nila.  

I am really looking forward to a great school year and getting to know your child! 

Spookley the Square Pumpkin!

I just couldn't wait to share a picture of these cute little pumpkins!  They are all so unique, just us!

Why can't we just do it for them?

This is a question I hear all the time! Why don't you just do it for them? Why are you making the child get frustrated when you could just do it for them? If someone stepped in every time we got frustrated, we would start to believe that it really is too hard! Maybe I'm really not capable of doing it for myself. We work hard at teaching the kiddos that they can do anything! From drawing a person to putting on their own coat! When you see a child do something on their own for the first time, their face lights up and they are so proud! They absolutely glow! They are proud and now they know that if they work hard, they can do anything!

Try Everything!

We are all capable of everything! It is amazing the power of YET in our lives! 

I don't know how to write my name...YET!

I don't know how to draw...YET!

I don't know my shapes...YET!

It works for adults, too!

I don't know how to cook...YET!

I don't know how to knit...YET!

Listen to this SONG!

This is what we do in our classroom!

TRY EVERYTHING!

Oh, what a beautiful Morning!

Using Nature in Art!

I love using natural items to create beautiful art! This week at Natural Explorations ECFE class we used natural paintbrushes to create an amazing mural! The kids had a great time exploring how the different brushes created different prints on the paper!
