Quick reminders:

TOYS BROUGHT IN… In these last few weeks, we’ve noticed cubbies and backpacks bursting with at home toys and costumes. We would like parents to limit their child to bringing 1 small naptime at home toy/lovie.  This small toy/lovie must be able to fit INSIDE your child’s cubby or we will ask you to take it back to the car in the morning.   Children will be able to take them out at rest time, but will be asked to leave them in cubbies for the other parts of our day. The ideal item would be a soft lovie for nappers and a quiet independent toy for non-nappers.

VALENTINES…On Friday, we celebrate Valentine’s Day! We do invite each friend to share Valentine’s Day cards with one another.  To eliminate confusion for our friends, we ask that the cards are signed by the giver, but not addressed to each individual friend. This way, we can allow the children to do delivering independently and ‘misdeliveries’ will not be upsetting.  (If you have already done valentines with individual names, no worries. )

THANK YOU so much for working with us! These things will help us keep it all FLOWING.

 

We spent the morning flowing through the classroom. We set out a sensory pool of warm water to further explore how water flows. we used tubes, crazy straws, measuring cups and a colander. No matter the age, friends were able to examine, measure, manipulate and design tubes and splash the water around.
