Happy Monday!

Hope everyone had a fantastic weekend!

**Parents—please read the pink notice on the front door pertaining to our outside policy.

**We WILL be going outside soon. Most of the snow in backyard has melted. Of course, they’re calling for more snow tonight but hopefully that will melt quickly. Please make sure by TOMORROW that your child comes to school with snow pants (since it’s still cold outside), a hat, boots, and gloves. We want to make sure that all children have the opportunity to go outside and that we’re all warm enough! Thanks!

As we welcomed friends back to school, they jumped right into play! We sat together and played with a variety of blocks. Henri also enjoyed working with the train tracks.

Eren and Nora worked with their numbers and fine motor skills as they carefully placed the pegs into the number board. Nora gave Eren one of her pegs and he responded with, “Oh thank you Nora!!”

Lulu and Saskia joined the party in the kitchen to work with pegs and foam boards. We talked about different colors and the shapes of the foam boards.

Eren and Nora built with the pegs upwards. They counted how many pegs they had.

Today, Saskia tried climbing the ladder all by herself! She needed some help at the top but her initiative was great!

We stirred it up in the kitchen making some wonderful food! We made sure to stir the pancake batter before we made the pancakes.

We were full of smiles this Monday  .

Maya had a clear goal this afternoon. When her older friends were sleeping, she decided to play catch with Miss Sam. Maya got the ball and threw it to Sam. They played catch for ten to fifteen minutes. Maya had a clear intention to play catch and she was so happy with herself! She loved retrieving the ball .

For breakfast, children had toast with cinnamon along with pears. Lunch consisted of noodles with kidney beans, apples, avocado, and broccoli. PM snack was whole wheat crackers and cheddar cheese.

Have a wonderful night!
