Week of November 17

We missed our Monday kids this week. It's strange to have a snow day so early.

We hope you all have a Happy Thanksgiving! There will be no Toddler Time class next week.

This week we worked on saying Thank You.

Our book was Thank You Thanksgiving.

One of our songs was 10 Little Turkeys.


We hope you enjoy the fall and Thanksgiving artwork we sent home today. 

This week we made some foam Christmas ornaments with stickers. We also did some finger painting to decorate Christmas trees.



We added some dried Lima beans to our fall sensory bin this week. The favorite is still the feathers.



Kenzie and I liked feathers in our hair.


We started practicing ringing our bells and singing Jingle Bells for our school Christmas program.



We really wear them out in Toddler Time. It's a busy day :)

Week of November 10

It feels like winter outside, but it is still fall in Toddler Time.

We had a short weeks since we had no Tuesday class. We will do extra activities next week so our Tuesday class won't miss out on our turkey craft.

Our story this week was Let it Fall.

One of our songs was Autumn Leaves are Falling.



Our pumpkin spice sensory finger painting from last week have transformed into good smelling pumpkin pie slices.



We made turkeys! We used liquid watercolors to paint coffee filters. These made the tails for our little turkeys.



Our fall sensory bin got a little fluffier this week. We added lots of feathers. We enjoyed dropping them and watching them float to the floor. Mr Drew visited us again on Monday. He is a student intern from a North High School child care/education program. The little ones thought he was lots of fun.





Reminder: Toddler Time will not meet the week of Thanksgiving. Enjoy your holiday with family!

Week of November 3

We are thankful for all our Toddler Time kids!
This week our story was Baby Animals.



One of our fall songs was Scarecrow Dance. Our little ones liked reaching high and touching their toes.



We used paint brushes, paper plates, and green paint to paint grass. We added hedgehogs and stickers.






We also did some sensory painting. We finger painted with orange paint and pumpkin pie spice. We will turn these into  a special craft next week.




We along with our pine cones and pine needles... we added fall leaves to our sensory bucket this week.
