Looking for:1. Garden supplies! We are looking for seeds, soil, and planters of all sizes.
February Recap:February was a busy month! We had 2 awesome
Valentine's Day parties. The kids really enjoyed passing out the Valentine's! They worked as a team to help each other pass out the cards and find each others bags. Thank you for helping your children with their Valentine's! Also, a BIG thank you for all the support with food, drink, and supplies to make each party successful.
Book orders have been mailed. Thank you to everyone who ordered. Look for another one in March!
All students need a
change of clothes! Accidents happen! Please make sure your child has a compete change of clothes each day they come to school. Also, please check their cubbies end bags each night for soiled clothes in a plastic bag. Unfortunately, we have no extra clothies.
Outdoor fun: The outside environment is a wonderful place for dramatic play. The children love our game of Dragons, Pirates, and Wizards. Some of the children become dragons, others are pirates, and still others are wizards. We steal our "treasure" back and forth. The dragons have special names that coincide with their special powers! (Snuggle Dragon, Rainbow Dragon, Cowboy Dragon, etc.) The teachers are fully engaged in this play, which provides us a real life opportunity to model positive play.
Stories: Throughout the year, we have been writing stories! They are published in a variety of ways, and the classroom books usually hang in the hallway. Recently I brought a laptop to school to record their stories more effectively. Watch for more on the blog!!
Our Dinosaurs ~ 4 little raptors
Owen, Nico, Austin, and Travis were rolling around with a tunnel piece. They noticed the snow stuck onto the sides of the piece...creating a "dinosaur". The little "raptors" tried to get on top of the "dinosaur" but it kept rolling away from them. They soon figured out that if they rolled the "dinosaur" into the tree, it wouldn't roll away. They could then get on top of it. The little "raptors" took turns crawling on top of their dinosaur and "eating the meat"!! They growled as they ate the "meat" just like little raptors would!
As always, please feel free to contact us with any questions, concerns, or celebrations!
We colored popcorn with paint in bags while dancing to the Popcorn song. We also glued white popcorn on paper to paint later. We even had popcorn for our AM snack!
