School Announcements:
Please continue to bring in cans for our Solstice Luminaries! Thanks again to Wacy's mom Sarah for punching the cans for us! The kids will be filling them with sand this week and getting them ready for the fesival.
Highlights from the Infant Room:
Gage is enjoying our new donated play mat (courtesy of Liam's family). He is starting to pick up toys that he drops from the Bumbo seat. Ali was able to pull toys off of the play dome and likes to lay on her belly and shake a large wooden rattle. She was excited to smell one of our sensory bottles. Jack tried a wooden puzzle today! He was excited to life the pieces up. He also discovered how to make a stuffed toy laugh by pushing the belly. He is pulling himself up on everything!
Highlights from the Toddler Room: A couple of friends went home today with fevers. We will be cleaning and sanitizing (even more than usual), and hope that our friends feel better soon! Kai, Luke, and Orion held down the fort today! They love books, and Kai often picks books and insists that Miss Lacey read his choice!
Highlights from the Twos Room: Today the class was very small, and they enjoyed much activity! At Community Time, the kids enjoyed reading The Gingerbread Man. The boys made their own gingerbread men with felt, buttons, glue, and stuffing. The gingerbread men were topped off by Michelle with some decorative stitching. The boys painted with pine needles and a pinecone, and used tree vocabulary including "pinecone", "pine needles", "trunk", and "roots". What a fun day!
Highlights from the PreK: Today at Community Time, we modeled beeswax while we listended to The Gingerbread Man, Dr. Suess's ABC, and Bear. We cut out a gingerbread man out of felt, and friends helped stitch around the outside. We will complete our gingerbread man and stuff it today for our classroom playtime. Fine motor work included drawing with beeswax crayons, dominoes, sewing, and puzzles. Outside, the children enjoyed digging, playing tag, and doing things to stay warm, including: jumping jacks, running laps, hopping on one foot, and marching. We look forward to a great afternoon!
