Daily Update - Grandparents

We read What Grandpas Do Best and What Grandmas Do Best.  I asked the children what does your Grandpa or Grandma do best?  Here are some of the answers: Play on the Play Set, Give me lots of love, watch me play in the sprinkler, go swimming, go on the boat, go out to eat, crashing boats (bumper boats), mows with the lawnmower, go outside and play with the motorcycle that has batteries, and play with me.  Our grandparents are pretty special around here.  We worked on our letters again.  This is a long process, but will be so worth it when we start getting our mail back from our grandpas and grandmas.  You can still bring in grandparent addresses if you haven’t done that yet, we will mail them on Friday.  We also made our own lunch!! 

 

Daily Update - Families

Who are the best and most important teachers in your child’s life?  If you answered their parents you would be right!!  Don’t ever sell yourself short, believe in the decisions you make and teach with your heart.  This week we are talking about the very special people in our lives our families!  I was reminded today by a 3 year old not to forget about our 4 legged family members, and of course they are a huge part of our families.  If you would like to bring in pictures of your 4 legged family member please do so, I know the children would love to share those too!  We started working on our grandparent letters today.  We also celebrated a Birthday!

REMINDER: Grandparent letters will go out Friday so please remember to bring in their addresses ASAP, and don’t forget the family pictures!

Daily Update - Understanding Feelings

To be a good friend it is important to understand feelings.  You need to be able to look at their face and see if they are sad, happy, angry, excited, frustrated… Then you would know if they need a hug, or need a hand, or just want to play and have fun!  We made feeling faces, and at the playground we made bubbles with our friends!
