Please note that we have one possible case of strep throat, however, we are waiting on a thorough “positive” from the doctor. Also, we have one confirmed case of the “Hand, Foot, Mouth Virus.” Symptoms of this include a rash or blistering on the above areas.

The children had a great morning. Our message board with the children’s names and identifying the first letter of their name has drawn a big interest. The children are also enjoying tracing the letters with their fingers on the board at the end of our “Chicka Chicka Boom Boom” book. After reading the book and singing our ABC’s, some of the children enjoyed picking out felt letters from our box, reciting the letter, and placing it on the felt board. Ozzie, Lea, Marta and Olivia did a fabulous job with this. Others opted to paint or do water play in the kitchen. Since Ozzie turned two yesterday, he has really ventured out with his adventuro The children enjoyed dancing to a WWF favorite, “BINGO” and “We’re walking through the jungle.”

 

This afternoon we will create coconut trees out of celery stalks. We will discuss the texture of it, evaluate if the stalks are long or short, taste test it, and display some ABC crackers around it to create own individual trees.

For breakfast this morning we had bagels and fresh fruit. Chef Marty created some wonderful grilled cheese sandwiches today. Mmmmm….they were delicious! We also had avacado and apples.
