March 2, 2015 Monday

In March, our focus will be on books and reading.

Here is what we did today:

Arrival Time:  The Valentine Discovery Box was changed out for a Pirate Discovery Box.  Several books from the library were put out for the children to look at.  These were simple nursery rhyme books that they could read themselves if they looked at the pictures.

Choice Time:  Several group nursery rhyme games were played with the children:  Ring-A-Round the Rosie, London Bridges, Motorboat, Motorboat, and Hokey Pokey.  If they did not want to join in the group, they were allowed to play puzzles at the table.

Circle Time:  Two books were read to the children:  Barney's Nursery Rhymes and Old Mother Hubbard.  They were encouraged to read along with me if they knew the rhyme.

Snack Time:   On Monday, Landon brought bagels, cream cheese, and juice for snack.  Thank you Landon!

Center Time:  All of the centers were open and painting was available at the easels. 

Thank you to all who have returned permission slips and tuition payments!  We would like both of those things returned as soon as possible!

Also, book orders went home in the backpacks and there were some good ones available to purchase!
