Parent-Toddler February 4-12, 2019

Hello Families,

Please welcome Lily, and her parents Lauren and Darin, to our class! The toddlers have been busy finger painting, experimenting with GAK (and the funny sounds it makes when pushed into a cup), making Valentines, playing in our new classroom restaurant, and exploring in an ocean-themed sensory table.

We continue to work on fine motor skill development, creative expression, sensory exploration, and forming our classroom community. Outside, we have really enjoyed watching the construction that is taking place next door. Last week the workers were breaking up the concrete, and this week we noticed that the dump truck had disappeared and that a big trench had been dug. The children have also enjoyed scooping the snow with the snow shovels and sliding down the slide in the Side Yard.

Please remember to send your child with all of the necessary outdoor items when it is chilly: hats, mittens, snow pants, boots, and coats. I want to let you know that I (Kim) will be gone on Tuesday, February 19. Tracy will be here with Rebecca.

Thank you for sharing your children with us!

Sincerely,

Rebecca and Kim

Reminders:

School is closed on Monday, February 18th for President’s Day
