Week Number Two!!

Dear Families and Friends,

I do hope that all of you had an enjoyable Labor Day week-end -- at our morning meeting, today, the children shared happy moments spent in sunny weather!!

Today was filled with many new activities, such as the castle on the lawn, bubbles in the deck's water table, baby dolls and strollers and balls and wheelbarrows -- we spent a great deal of time outdoors, writing with chaulk, (thank you, Miss Sashi), and observing two very large and leggy Daddy Long Legs!!

We are planning to decorate our "Dot Wall", (located in the front hallway), with related art, and, our second dot-themed activity consisted of the Dot candy and toothpick sculptures, which should have come home, today.

We read, at different points, throughout the day, both indoors and outdoors -- "Philippe in Monet's Garden", in the morning, and, "Make Way for Ducklings", in the afternoon, and sang songs by Skippy Jon Jones.

While on the deck, we shared stories of pets and other animals, as I showed our little ones pictures of cats, in many different shapes and colors.

We continue to learn and practice letter and number recognition and notice different colors and shapes.

Please know that not only the children, but also the teachers, thoroughly enjoy celebrations such as birthdays and holidays -- we especially welcome cultural learning, and, for example, look very forward to the day Miss Sashi wears her native dress of India and teaches us some new words!! So, do feel quite comfortable arranging some time to come into the School to share something of special interest.

We anticipate the continuance of another fun-filled week at the Child Development Center -- our little friends are doing wonderfully and making many new friends!!

Love Miss Peacock XOXO
