Back to School

Well the toddlers are back to school and seem to have grown up quite a bit in the two weeks we had off.
It is amazing that many of the children are potty trained. It is interesting that the kids who are still in diapers find it interesting that kids have learned to do this.

We are working on colors and shapes as a group and then those who are interested are spending more time with these works. I have found the children working in pairs one naming the color and the other naming the shape. It is funny to watch the debate among the children on who is right and who is wrong. Sometimes they call over another child to end the debate.

The kids are doing a great job at getting ready to go home. We have been passing out boots and shoes during story time. Many of the children are able to put them on for them self. There are of course a few times they have the shoes on the wrong feet. Coats are being put on with the up and over method and some can even zip them for themselves.

We are planning our Valentines celebration. The children are excited to make cards, cookies and mailboxes.
