Working Hard

We had a great week. The children enjoyed making bird feeders and placing them out in the playground. It was a slippery walk but the fresh air seemed to do all of us some good.

The children are working hard with colors and shapes and at the end of the week we have started to introduce letters. This work is done on the line and the work is left out for those who are interested. This work is for the older children in our class. They all are exposed to it but please let your child tell you when they are interested in doing a work. We introduce it and when they are ready they will go to the work. Remember they are young children and painting, cutting, washing are very important works. The process is so important. Letting your child become an independent person is something that is hard on the parent but will provide your child with the confidence that they need to succeed in school in the years to come.

We celebrated Jake's birthday this week in Toddler I. Happy 3rd birthday Jake! The children get so excited about birthdays. They enjoy looking at each others pictures from their childhood. Everyone has a story to share about their birthday. Please feel free to join us on your child's special day

Please remember to send your child's toothbrush and comb to school next week. Providing your child the independence to do things for them self will give them such a great sense of accomplishment. It is hard to let your child become independent but they still need you in other ways.

Our Valentines party will be the Thursday before Valentines so please bring a box wrapped in brown paper so we can make mailboxes for our party.

I am looking forward to talking to you all at parent teacher conferences.

Have a great weekend!
