Happy Monday!

A couple of important announcements:

*PLEASE make sure that your child comes to school prepared to go outside every day. The following are needed for each child, every day: winter coat, hat, gloves (preferably not the cloth ones as they tend to get wet easily), snow pants, and WINTER boots. If we could get all winter gear labeled so that it’s easy to decipher each child’s belongings, that’d be great! Thanks for everyone’s cooperation.

**Children need updated shot records by the beginning of the new year (except those who were enrolled this past Fall). However, if those families still want to get an updated shot record, please feel free! For those of you who have turned them in, thank you!

First, a big HAPPY BIRTHDAY to Riley who turns 5 today!

Friends moved throughout the environment this morning. There were many stories read while some children chose to tackle floor puzzles!

We headed outside this morning to get some fresh air. This group sure did get their water quota for the day .

A few children noticed that their muscles look bigger in their winter coats.

Since we didn’t have a whole lot of snow, we chose not to get the sleds out. A few friends figured out a way to still go down the hill; body sledding!

In large group: we read a fairy tale story that transitioned into talking about different holidays. We constructed a web on the chalk board to figure out which holidays children were aware of! Throughout the week, we will look at different holidays as well as how different cultures celebrate important events.

Breakfast– Whole wheat bagels with cream cheese.

Lunch– Whole wheat pasta with cheese and marinara sauce, oranges, and cherry tomatoes.

PM snack– Riley’s birthday strawberry bars and whole milk yogurt.

Wee Sprouts– Cherry tomatoes.

Have a great night!
