What A Week!!!
Well, plenty of things went wrong this week (do I need to remind you about Thursday's red paint disaster???). But plenty of things went right, too, and we did have a lot of fun this week.
We talked alot of fire safety and firemen, and learned about the number 4 and the color black. We made firemen badges and hats.
We are off to a great start with our 100 books project! We didn't read as many books the last three weeks as normal, but I do believe that will change now that we are going back to our regular schedule next week. Plus it's supposed to be rainy the next few days, so we won't be outside all the time.
I made some changes at our art table that have been very popular. Our art table and supplies were not being used during free play, only during our art and activity times. It's always been open during free play times, but it just recently occurred to me that the kids probably didn't realize that was an option. I think this happened a couple years ago when we had such a young group and they weren't seeing the older kids choosing this option. So I recently reorganized the area, and made a big production of introducing this "new" area. The 4-year-old have went crazy there. Sometime they choose drawing paper, sometimes coloring books. I will also be changing up the supplies and materials occassionally to keep things interesting.
I'm going to be adding a Parent Info page to the website next week. So far, I plan on including the yearly calendar and the Exclusions Policies information. Please let me know what other information you would find helpful.
