Happy Valentine's Day!!

We have been incorporating Valentine's Day into our Under the Sea theme this week! The children made tissue paper hearts to decorate the center with yesterday and have been busy making Valentines today. They each made a heart valentine for someone special and a whale valentine for their parents!! And of course, they each made a Valentine's bag for collecting their valentine messages from each other.
What a fun holiday!!

Farm Safety

We discussed the Farm a few weeks ago, but we were fortunate to have an opportunity to bring in a young lady from Farm Safety 4 Just Kids this past week. She did a great job talking to the children about the animals on the farm, what they do when they are getting angry or scared, and how to stay safe around them. If you are looking for a good presentation for your group of youngsters, I can send you her information!


Happy 1st Birthday!!

We celebrated Libby's 1st birthday with jello! A nice switch from all the sweets we have had lately.
She is definitely ready to transition out of "babyhood". Happy Birthday!!!

Zoo Train

This week is our final week talking about zoo animals. The children have worked hard coloring different animals they might find at the zoo. To showcase our African animals, we put them on a train! The children just LOVED making these and cannot wait to take them home!






They are now hanging from the doorways and the ceiling!



Today we colored some more animals and painted snakes! We just talked about animals that live in the rain forest.
