Monday, 11/17/08

We are fortunate to enjoy these big, beautiful trees each day! Today, Mr. Jamie made a little roof for us to pretend under at the base of the trees. We were all excited to see its progress throughout the day!






School Announcements: Please remember your nap items and water bottle each day! A reminder that our school will be closed on Wednesday 11/26 through Friday 11/28. We are closed 11/26 for staff development.

Highlights from the Infant Room: Jack enjoyed playing with a silk cape on, and we were glad to see our friend Ali back after leaving early on Friday. Both children enjoy outdoor time with Miss Caprice, and are so attached to her!

Highlights from the Toddler Room: Watch for Miss Lacey more as Miss Janie takes a break with preliminary contractions. Today our friends Luke, Kai, and Gavin enjoyed wagon rides with Miss Lacey, climbing on the play structure out front with Miss Caprice, and books with Miss Janie.

Highlights from the 2s Room: Everyone enjoyed a walk with Miss Mandy to say "good morning" to the animals on the farm. Capes were a big hit, made by Isaac's grandmother in North Carolina! It was a great day to paint outside with green and white! Pouring and scooping beans at the picnic table was a fun activity at the picnic table. Feel free to bring items from nature to display on the classroom nature table. Items the 2s found last week are currently on display.



Highlights from the PreK: At morning community time, everyone enjoyed Miles' "three pigs" book! The class took a walk to give Mr. Jamie some seeds for this week's plantings. Everyone is getting really good at setting the table. Inside the classroom, friends enjoyed the puppet stage, pretending to be teachers, and dressing up is always a huge hit--especially with some new fluffy scarves from Miss Lacey. Outside, the class painted with green and white and enjoyed dancing and flying with capes on! Mr. Jamie kept everyone busy with animal care, practice nailing with a hammer, and an obstacle course with hoops, a balance beam, and jumps.
