School Announcements:
Don't forget about the Evening of Indulgence this Friday night (1/9) from 6:30-9:00--come enjoy massage and hair touch-ups!
Everyone is settling back in from the break--we look forward to a good week. Today's sunshine was much appreciated!
Highlights from the Infant Room: Welcome to Alex! Today Caprice read the children lots of books. The children enjoyed learning to clap hands while Caprice sang "If You're Happy and You Know It" to them.
Highlights from the Toddler Room: Today the class read There Was an Old Lady Who Swallowed a Fly and Book of Shapes and sang "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star" with hand motions. Welcome back Kai and Orion! Kai enjoyed playing in the new tunnel and reading Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See?. Luke played with the stacking cups, built with wood blocks, looked at books--reading "independently", and played inside the teepee. Orion played with wood blocks, liked someone to pretend that they couldn't see him/then find him, and throwing the soft soccer ball.
Highlights from the Twos Room: The Twos enjoyed a nature walk with visits to the animals and drawing with beeswax crayons. They enjoyed puzzles, blocks, and the dollhouse inside!
Highlights from the PreK: Today we read Time for Bed and The Sun's Asleep Behind the Hill. We sang "Morning has Come" and "Good Morning". We played a name game to meet our new friends Alex, Cole, and Noah (who will start tomorrow). The class visited Lily Belle and watched Mr. Jamie groom her and clean her feet. After that, we took a nature walk to visit Queso, feed the rabbits, and spent some time in the story tent. Some friends worked with beeswax crayons and our new index cards, donated by a parent and Wiley Middle teacher, Andrea Acosta. Fine motor work included sewing cards, puzzles, and playdough. We had a good day, and lots of good naps!
