All About Apples
Our story this week was 10 Apples Up On Top by Dr Seuss. We also watched a video of the book set to song. The little ones enjoyed the song, and we saw some pretty cute dance moves.
We are still enjoying the ABC song. We revisited 5 Little Monkeys Jumping on the Bed. We also sang Head and Shoulders, Knees and Toes. Here is the video we watched on the iPad.
We introduced our sensory tub this week. It is filled with rolled oats. Our little ones had fun scooping and pouring the oats. Some of the girls decided they couldn't get enough oats and climbed right in! Cora might have initiated this move :)
We practiced our fine motor skills with stickers. We added red and yellow circle stickers to our apple tree. Everyone liked stickers, and their little trees turned out so cute!
Painting this week was fun with apples. We stamped apple halves in red paint and created wonderful art work. Make sure to look take a look at our art work displayed both inside and outside our classroom. Our little ones are very proud of their creations!
April, Becky, Jill, and I enjoy our time with your little ones. Thank you for sharing them with us each week!

Week 2
This week we saw more confidence in our little ones. We are seeing their personalities come out little by little. We are learning to play with our friends, and to share toys. We play part of the time with smaller toys in our main room. Later in the day, we move to our second room with larger push toys and riding toys.
This week we sang the ABC song and Twinkle Twinkle. We also added 5 Little Monkeys Jumping on the Bed. Below is the video we watched for that song.
For our sensory play this week, we played with "Ice Cream" pom poms. We held the fuzzy pom poms. We practiced putting them in cups & paper cones. We tried scooping them with spoons. We even tossed some around the room! All our little ones seemed to like the soft fuzziness.
For our art project, we used styrofoam cups to stamp circles on paper with paint. We didn't get as messy as we did with the hand prints the previous week. They seemed to like the popping noise the cups made on the paper. We added paper cones to our stamped circles to make ice cream cones.
Notes:
- September tuition is now due
- Dismissal for Toddler Time is 11:15 each day
- The Fall Family Picnic is coming up September 19 at 11am. More details will be coming in your child's binder.
We are looking forward to seeing everyone next week!

First Week
This week we met our new classmates and spent lots of time exploring the rooms and toys. We got out of our classroom a little and took a wagon ride, and played with balls in the gym.
We started learning sit at the table, fold our hands, and say grace before eating our snack.
We also did an art project this week. We used paint and construction paper to make handprints. Some of our little ones weren't quite sure about having that messy paint on their hands. Our handprints made wings for sweet little owls to decorate our room and hallway.
