Terrific Tuesday

 The acorns are continuing to do a great job in the mornings.   We make choices in the Seedling Room, have breakfast, and then head over to acorn to do morning potties/diapers.  We are working on getting everyone to sit on and use the potty. Some of us have begun to sit and not go.....  we are slowly making progress.We are also working on everyone having their mask on and nose covered.  It is definitely better than last week, but we still have work to do.  Along with starting to encourage going on the potty, we have been working on, self-regulation and self-help.  All of which is intertwined with one another.  

We spend most of our time outdoors. Today we had loose parts so that the children could work on loose part self portraits.  We brought out the sticks we collected yesterday on the way back from the train, and painted with water and wet chalk.  We created a "train" and every car had a "phone/camera" ready for the passenger.  We also had the sand area and water available for sensory exploration. 


                                      T- brought a bug with an egg in to share with the class.

The struggle is real.
They persisted and conquered!

Big Boy Monday!!

 Thank you all for dropping off early, the children had a picnic breakfast at our train viewing.  Big Boy was running late, but we stuck it out and cheered for the train.  On the way home from Big Boy, we collected sticks for invitations for the rest of the week.  Our plan is to loop the Big Boy video on a wall and make trains, the sticks will be used outside this week as paint brushes.


All the children had a GREAT DROP OFF today!!  Way to go parents!  We appreciate YOU!

Friday FUN!!

 The children are doing such a great job coming into school and starting their day!!  There was a huge difference this morning from Monday morning! Way to go parents!  Keep being consistent and quick, this will help your child calm down, have breakfast and enjoy the rest of their day.  

Today we brought water invitations out to our small playscape. The children had a wonderful time scooping/pouring, mixing water and sand, using ramps funnels and tubes.  With that said, a bunch of the children had to have a change of clothes.  The backpacks, blankets, water bottles, and lovies, will all go home today.  Don't forget to bring it all back on Monday, and if your child has a wet bag of clothes, we need a set of clean ones a school.

Have a great weekend and don't forget, we will be heading out to see BIG BOY Monday around 8:00 AM.
