Apples, Apples, Apples

This past week was the week we all finally settled in.  It was the first full week for us all, asides from the beginning of school, and it was the week that Preschool Pals began for the non- nappers.  It was an exciting time for many of the kids.  Please keep in mind, those children who are napping are still building on many pre-school skills during our morning time, and that when they are finished with their naps, they will transition over to Preschool Pals in the afternoons with Miss. Chloe and Miss. Lauren.

Our outing on Friday to the trip to the Jonamac Orchard was fabulous.  Many had been apple picking before, but some had not and we talked about how to find the best apples, and to tell which ones were good for baking and which ones for eating.  We also had run of the place as it was a weekday and most school age kids were in school.  Check out the link to this week's pictures to see the fun we had.

The has been an incident of head lice in two kids in daycare.  Please check your child to make sure that they do not have any...if you have any questions please take them to Hair Butterflies in Oak Park to be checked.

Please note that our late payment policy is posted on the website.  There have been many families that may be confused by the invoices and reminders, but it seems to be a pattern developing.  Please make sure to pay your invoice either via PayPal, Check or Cash, by Thursday, midnight.  Unless you have talked to me previously I will have to charge you the late fee of $37.   If you have questions please let me know.

Preschool Pals Week of 9/16

This week we have a lot of fun crafts planned, mostly centered around apples and fall, so be prepared for your kids bringing home some amazing art work at the end of the week! We are going to be making paintings using apples, constructing our own apples and apple trees, as well as using apples to practice our counting. We will be exploring shapes this week, working on patterns, including a craft based off of one of the stories we will be reading, Go Away Big Green Monster. The kids will be making their own big green monsters while learning and using a lot of different shapes.  During circle time this week, we will be building upon our usual routine, using our big board to discuss the weather and the calendar, as well as singing our favorite songs, including our greeting song. We will be learning two new songs, one about the days of the week and one about the months of the year that we think the kids are going to really enjoy. All in all we are going to have fun, so here’s to another great week!
