Back and Ready for Action!

I’m baaaaack! As most of you may know I have been out the past 2 days due to a kidney infection. The doctor told me I should take a few days from work so I can fully recover, but I really couldn’t bear to stay away from all of our kiddos for that long; especially with the big break coming up. I’m also feeling a little better anyways.

Aside from that, all is going very well in the pre-tot world. It was a very chilly and windy morning outside today so all of our friends joined us in the pre-tot room. Everyone seemed to really enjoy playing in our room especially with some new toys that Miss Toni had brought in for our class. Some of our friends like Olive, Gage, and Genevieve enjoyed doing some art and making pictures. Other friends like Clara and Ancel enjoyed reading books with me on the carpet. Noah spent some time playing in the block area with Ivy and Paislie; our friends from the toddler room. Wynn jammed out on the new xylophone piano that is in our music center.

After spending quite a bit of time playing in all the centers it was soon time for all other friends to head back to their own classrooms for snack. After everyone was gone we all enjoyed our snack and got ready to head outside for some free-play. Olive, Wynn, Gage, and Noah headed out with Miss Arielle while Genevieve, Clara and Ancel stayed in with me. While inside, Ancel, Genevieve and Clara helped me set up nap-mats and put away some books. They did such an amazing job! Miss Arielle’s group stayed on the deck for a bit and practiced pushing the little push cars. After a short while my group headed out to join Miss Arielle’s group. Ancel played in the sandbox and practiced scooping up sand and pouring it back out. Genevieve found a little green train and carried it around for a little while before giving it to another friend. Clara spent some time playing on the playscape and going down the slide. Wynn and Noah found a Dora doll and took turns holding it. Olive found a hot wheels race car and rolled it down the playscape ramp a few times. Gage spent some time playing with the dirt in the garden.

In the afternoon we will talk about polar bears and show pictures of them. Then we will get ready for Miss Leona who will be coming to sing Spanish songs with us. Afterwards we will all head outside and play with legos and use chalk to make some art.

Tomorrow we will continue to learn about polar bears and practice opening presents. For this activity we will wrap empty boxes and let them rip the paper off.

It has been a great day and seeing everyone’s smiling faces once again. I’ll see you guys tomorrow which is PAJAMA DAY!!!! Don’t forget to wear your favorite pj’s!
