School Announcements: Welcome back to all of our families! Hope that you had a great Winter Break--we did! Watch for several new animals, rounding out our farm. Many thanks to Kevin and Tanya Carter (and Mattvey, too) for arranging for us to have Lucy Pig, Abby the Donkey, and soon two goats and a sheep!
Highlights from the Infant Room: Jack and Ali held down the fort in the infant room today, and we look forward to seeing Gage tomorrow. Everyone has grown! Jack is pulling up on everything, and Ali doesn't want to miss anything that is happening. Today Caprice practiced saying "mama" and "dada" with the kids--and they both did it! They also enjoyed rhymes and finger plays.
Highlights from the Toddler Room: Luke was the Lone Ranger in this room today, and enjoyed several new items in the classroom, though he is a little unsure about the new tunnel. He loved lots of snacks from his teachers!
Highlights from the Twos Room: Gavin loved his new classroom today! Mason, Maksim, and Gabrielle enjoyed their time with Heather, who is the new teacher in the classroom. Everyone enjoyed painting and having lunch with our preK friends.
Highlights from the PreK: At community time today, the class enjoyed singing: "Morning Has Come" and several counting songs including "Five Little Monkeys Singing in a Tree" and "Three Little Monkeys Jumping on the Bed". We counted in Spanish and English and read Little Quacks Hide and Seek and Rock It, Sock It, Number Line. We took a walk around the farm to meet the new horse, "Queso" and two new rabbits, "Milkshake" and "Sir Benito". We heard a story about Sir Benito in the story tent. We painted with green, and enjoyed seeing friends that we missed! We hope to have even more outside time tomorrow.
