Happy Birthday to....

Wesley! Happy 4th Birthday!!!
We are excited to share in another fun, treat-filled birthday!

Monkeyin' Around

This week has been full of wild animals as we talk about the Zoo! The children love talking about the different types of animals, where they are from, and what they eat. We are also learning how to sign different animal names. So far we have learned monkey, elephant, cat, dog, bear, and alligator.

We are also excited to be celebrating a birthday today!!! Happy 4th Birthday Quinn!! What is difficult to believe is that many of our kids that are turning FOUR this year have been in our care since they were a few months old! They are just growing up right before our eyes!

Somedays It Feels Like a Farm Around Here!

This week's topic is Farm. We have been discussing the different types of animals that live on a farm, what those animals provide us (e.g., eggs, milk, ect...), and the many jobs that a farmer has. This is always a fun topic for the children. There is something miraculous about a farm to 3-year-olds! I just wish we had a farm to take them all to! The one piece of information that they are all the most excited about is that cows chew their cud. It is amazing (and gross) to them that this occurs! They bring it up regularly while we are eating lunch or snack! =)

The children made their own farm matching games this week and colored and made farm animals. They also have enjoyed singing all the farm classics such as Farmer in the Dell, Old McDonald, and Six Little Ducks.

Brrrr.....

We can't really complain about the nice weather we have had lately. However, we were reminded that it is winter today! With the wind chill making it unbearable to go outside, we did stations to fill the time and work on a few skills! Today we did dress-up clothes, car track, painting, and coloring!

Belated Happy Birthday!

With the busy holiday season, I did not get a Happy Birthday post out for Miya! She turned four in December, and we celebrated with some yummy cupcakes! Happy (belated) Birthday Miya!!
