Good Afternoon and Happy Friday! I hope you all have a had a wonderful week. 
Friends loved listening to stories today!
Ellie and Nesta chose books for me to read today and we happily and patiently took turns listening to each others chosen books.
Early literacy is a very important and integral part of our day in the Infant/Toddler classroom.
Reading to our friends daily, starting in infancy can help with the development of language and literacy skills. Reading stimulates the part of the brain that allows children to understand the meaning of language and build on social skills.
The sandbox is a happy and very used space in our outdoor environment.
Friends can feel the sand in their hands, they can build on their hand-eye coordination skills by scooping up the sand then dumping it into a pail or the other various items available and of course… they can get so dirty! Which teachers seem to think that’s the best part for our friend’s. We LOVE to get dirty!!!
Breakfast: Whole grain brown rice cakes with cream cheese and oranges.
Lunch: Warm whole grain tortilla’s with shredded cheese, corn and strawberries.
Snack: Whole wheat Triscuit crackers and mozzarella string cheese.
Have a fantastic weekend.
Marty
