Today was picture day ! The kids were actually very patient waiting for their turn . We did the class picture first and then individuals. It was really HOT and I noticed some of their faces were getting red. :/ I still think they will be super cute! Kristen did a great job. […]
Rainy Day Toys !
Today we had two more new moms come in and play and a DADDY! This is Liz, Joslyn’s mom. Liz had fun playing playdoh and dressing up in the dramatic play area and having a tea party . Thanks Liz. Ty’s mom, Rhonda stayed for a bit and played this morning while grandma had baby […]
Still new experiences every day
Today we added water play. There are still several items that are normal parts of our day that we have not added. Overwhelming children with materials just to say ” they are offered” is never a good choice. Slowly introducing them after we have gotten into a routine seems to work better for our group. […]
Mommy Power !
Wow… today we had mommy power all over this house. Tiana’s mom Mikkeala is still helping us find our name cards before breakfast – SUCH a great help. Today was Dallas’ day to hang out and help us. ( She will usually be here on Monday, Wednesday and Thursday. ) Dallas has such a big […]
Sink or Float ?
We did our first science experience today. It seemed only fitting to do a ” sink or float ” experience since we are talking about pirates sailing on the sea ! I let the first group find one toy or item from the playroom to try and wouldnt you know.. they all came back with […]
Monday Monday….
We tried our first art project today. I wrote the kids names with a write crayon on a white sheet of paper and let them water color over the top of their name and it magically appeared ! They loved the water colors. Much of our artwork I keep in the classroom hanging on the […]
Week One Complete and a Total Success
Whew.. it is FRIDAY! We did it ! Our week has had highs and lows but so many more highs. We have learned our friends names and learned to play in groups instead of always alone . We have learned SO many new things that keep us safe in our room and with our friends. […]
Four Days in and we are AWESOME
I had help this morning getting breakfast ready ! Alina and Harelly were happy to help me get breakfast on the table for their friends. The great thing about preschool aged kids is that they are still fairly motivated to help. Preschoolers also love individual time with adults. If you take […]
Our First Nap
Each day we are getting a little more into a routine that we all can live with. LIttle personalities are changing as the kids become more comfortable with us. Today was the most like a ” normal” day. There was little chaos and lots of fun. We havent done small groups yet and have […]
Holy Smokes Batman
Today seemed a little more hectic than yesterday. Maybe yesterday I was running on adrenalin from it being the first day and today my adrenaline was gone ! It was still a good day. We met inside instead of outside and the kids were able to free play in the centers and get to […]
