Happy Birthday!!!

We got to celebrate another 1st birthday a few weeks ago!! It is very exciting to see our babies becoming toddlers!!!
Happy Birthday Landon!

Sorry for the delay!

Hello! Sorry for the lack of entry for last week. We had a short week last week because I was in Montreal for the Society for Research on Child Development conference where I presented research on the relationships between media use, sleep, and child health outcomes (e.g., physical aggression, attention problems, BMI). It was a great trip although it went by quickly! I will hopefully have new photos soon to blog about this week! It is Earth week!

RAINBOW WEEK!!

Last week we covered the Rainbow!! Each day we focused on a different color and everyone (tried) to wear the color of the day! It was a lot of fun seeing the kids get excited about the colors, and we created our lunches to reflect the color of the day! According to our daily color, we also made a rainbow out of hand prints, blew-up balloons, and changed the color of our "telescopes". It was color overload! =)

Monday - RED

 Lunch: Goulash, Tomatoes, Strawberries, Milk

Tuesday - ORANGE

Lunch: Sloppy joes, Carrots, Peaches, Milk

Wednesday - YELLOW

 Lunch: Shells & Cheese, Corn, Bananas, Milk

Thursday - GREEN (St. Patrick's Day)

 Lunch: Green eggs & Ham, Bread, Green beans, Grapes, Milk

Friday - BLUE & PURPLE

Lunch: PB&J sandwich, Blueberries, Purple applesauce, Milk

It worked out that all of the preschoolers wore blue and the babies wore purple!

All of the babies were never pictured all together though.

Gotta Love Dr. Seuss!!

Sorry for not posting this earlier, but I wanted to share our cute hat pictures from Rhyming Week!!! The kids had fun learning about words that rhyme and finding them in books we read and songs that we sang. We focused on Cat in the Hat and celebrated Dr. Seuss' birthday on March 2nd with treats!! We also adorned the children's pictures with their own hats! The kids still enjoy looking at their pictures up on the doors!

Happy Birthdays!!

Happy (belated) Birthday to Izzy and Ian!!!

Quite the Marching Band

For our Opposites theme last week, we pulled out the instruments! We practiced playing loud and quiet, fast and slow, high and low, and right and left. After our opposites practice ended, they were eager to form a marching band. It is hard to get good pictures of their fast moving, fast playing band but here are a few!

Red and Blue make......

PURPLE!!!

We experimented with mixing colors last week which the children find almost magical! It is fun to show them something new!
