Earth Day, Color Games, and Special Visitors!

 Hey everyone! This week had some fun activities in store. Monday was Earth Day so classrooms had their own twist on what activity they wanted to do. Even infants participated with the cutest pictures! Tuesday was color search day! Our toddler class really had a fun time with this one. Way to go toddlers! The highlight of the week was our special visitor for today. We had dental hygienists from Little Harpeth Dentistry come to visit. They talked about how important our teeth are and how we should take care of them. The kids were so excited to see them. Our little toddlers also practiced how we should take care of our teeth. What a fun week!

Week of the Young Child!

 Hi everyone! I hope you all are having a wonderful week. The week of the young child is upon us! We had so many fun activities in store!

Monday was, "Music Monday"! Nothing like singing and dancing to Koo Koo Kangaroo. Even some teachers dressed up to go with the theme. Throughout all the rooms, different songs from them were playing and it was so much fun to dance right along with them. Tasty Tuesday came in right after so we had a special snack in the afternoon. They were....ICE CREAM SANDWICHES!

Wednesday was all about teamwork. It was, "Work Together Wednesday" where classes worked together as a team to build something awesome! A lot of our older friends had a wonderful time building! Thursday got a little bit messy. It was, "Artsy Thursday"! We did some fingerpainting and I do have to say that the toddler rooms really enjoyed this activity. Who doesn't love creating something beautiful with their hands? 

Lastly, Friday has come! It's "Family Friday"! We sent home a nature scavenger hunt for families to work together and find. We are definitely excited for the pictures/videos to come. Have a great weekend!

Umbrellas and Sight Words and Bears Oh My!

 Hi everyone! We hope your Easter was relaxing and full of fun! This week has had ups and downs when it came to the weather, but we made sure to keep the fun going inside. 

Monday, classes made their own versions of umbrellas. Some where made with their hands, some with paper plates, it was great to see all of our friends get creative. Tuesday toddlers and preschool participated in a FrogStreet activity that has been so loved for a long time. They participated in a bear hunt! 

Wednesday the older classrooms did a sight word activity. We called it, "Crack an egg, find a sight word". Nothing like learning some sight words while having fun! One class even hid the eggs on their playground for their friends to find. They then talked and went over what each word was. Thursday was....NATIONAL BURRITO DAY!!!! Now who doesn't love burritos? For lunch, classes were served burrito makings for them to make their own. We did have some assemble their burrito while others preferred to enjoy the burrito makings separately. 

To finish things off, class had a book to read. It was called, "Worm Weather" it's a fun book about what Spring can do to make changes to our environment. Especially with all the rain. What a fun week! I hope it warms up this weekend!
