Highlights from the Infant Room
The infants enjoy outside time so much--today Miss Caprice wheeled them out to the front walkway in one of our cribs. Ali enjoys watching the leaves overhead. Inside, our friends enjoyed music and clapping hands. Jack is learning to crawl, so Miss Caprice moved some things around in the room to allow even more space for Jack to practice! Both Ali and Jack have formed a bond with Miss Caprice--they smile when she enters the room and leaves the classroom!
Highlights from the Toddler Room
Today our friends enjoyed playing with bean bags--placing them on their heads and laughing wildly when the fell off. Luke laughed so hard that he snorted! Kai and Waylon like to transfer items from one box to another. Miss Janie talked about colors and shapes with a fun book, sang "Head, Shoulders, Knees, and Toes", and helped the kids stack nesting cups. Luke loves books! Kai can never wait to get outside, and Waylon doesn't know a stranger. All of the big kids enjoy finding him on the playground.
Highlights from PreK and the 2s Class:
Today we baked bread, worked outside with Mr. Jamie digging, wore boots to squish in the mud from last night's rain, and raked hay to place in the wagons for wagon rides.
The 2s class enjoyed a visit from a new friend, Liam, who will start in our class next week. Pouring and scooping beans, hooking together tractors, and "sweeping" with wooden rollers are always favorites. Our new friend Kaleb had an awesome day! Everyone loves Miss Mandy's circle time in the little "cave", especially the apple song. Gabrielle loved digging in the mud outside today.
