Painting outside is a good idea!

An early morning visit from Mr. Frog. . .

School Announcements: Have a great weekend! Don't forget your nap items and water bottle on Monday. We have a new see-saw on our playground!


Highlights from the Infant Room: Watch for a revised infant daily note form on Monday that makes liquids and solids easily distinguished. Jack and Caprice spent the day together today playing with silks and doing foot/toe rhymes from the book Infant Massage: A Handbook for Loving Parents. Jack enjoyed being outside very much!
Highlights from the Toddler Room: The toddlers enjoyed lots of time outside this morning and enjoyed watching all of the animals. Puzzles and bean bags were favorite activities. Several friends surprise us each day with a new clear word! This morning, the class made fruit smoothies for their AM snack.
Making smoothies! Can two year olds use blenders???

Highlights from the 2s Class: Mandy's class loves nature walks and added things to their collection bags today. Mandy found a frog outside early this morning and the kids loved it!

Asa, Jaden, and Isaac helped Grandma Rice shredded carrots with a rotary cutter. Maksim and Gabrielle loved digging in the dirt, and Isaac, Asa, and Jaden loved to chase a ball that Jamie threw for them this afternoon.
