Pre-K students enjoy Candy Land classroom

Posted

Pre-K students on the Bolles Lower School Ponte Vedra Beach Campus received a sweet surprise on Sept. 6 when teachers Melissa Nicholson and Kim Wingo transformed their classroom into a fun-filled, candy-themed delight.

The Bulldogs hopped into the colorful classroom on board game tiles and presented tickets to their own magical Candy Land to start the immersive, hands-on learning experience. They danced to “The Candy Man” to get the wiggles out before listening to Nicholson explain each of the educational centers they would participate in, ranging from learning about the letter “C” and molding Play-Doh to weighing candy pieces and making gummy necklaces and shapes.

Bolles Lower School Ponte Vedra Beach Campus Head Stacey Hendershot joined in on the fun, working with students at various stations and encouraging them to engage with geometry, letter formation, fine motor skills patterning and more. Nicholson’s pet pig Pop also dressed up like cotton candy to celebrate the day!
