THANK YOU FOR FOLLOWING OUR BLOG!!

Dear Everyone,

We now have several families following along on our blogsite -- our goal is a 100% participation rate -- thank you for your anticipated interest !!

With the number of parents ordering Scholastic books for their children, this month, I believe that we may be immediately eligible for multiplied bonus points, which means more literacy supplies for our Butterflies and Puppies -- yahoo!!

Today, we followed our daily schedule, quite nicely . . .

Because the kids could not decide what flavor muffins to bake, and because we had three choices, we made corn, blueberry, apple-cinnamon AND corn, blueberry and apple-cinnamon, combined -- this kitchen thing we have going on, now, is loads of fun, for all!!

We learned more about number and letter recognition, sounds, shapes and colors -- the children discovered that almost any color can be made with combinations of red, blue and yellow, and that lighter and different colors can be made by adding white.

We usually have music playing, and are singing and dancing, regularly -- thanks, Kel!! "Tootie-Ta" (English and Spanish), "Get Up and Go!!", "School Rules", "The Macarena Months", "The Days of the Week" and "My Big Red Car" are among our favorites, right now -- I have requested funding for a disco ball, to hang from the ceiling -- (just kidding!!)

At our scheduled Activity Time, we switched-off playing out on the deck, and, indoors, created family trees, decorated multi-cultural people shapes, read related books, did puzzles, and built with foam blocks -- as a result of said, our display boards are filling-up with wonderful artwork, and, lots of photos are being taken, of the children, in a variety of settings.

Although our friends from LABB were unable to make it, today, we were pleasantly surprised by a visit from Debbie Dew, Kirsten's mom, who joined us for lunch and entertainment!!

Our new blinds were supposed to arrive, today, which will further allow the teachers to make our house a home . . .

Please remember to send in light outerwear, with your children, and to check cubbies and mailboxes for paper and artwork -- thank you.

Nella Mattina!!
