A few things are on the horizon that I wanted everyone to be aware of. The week of October 7th, the school age kids have half days on the 10th and the 11th, and a day off on the 14th. We are full on the 10th, and will be headed out to the zoo or a forest preserve for a hike. On the 11th we have 8 spaces left and will be making jam, tomato sauce and pickles and canning them. On the 14th we have 7 spots left and we will be going to a pumpkin patch. In order to go on the field trip though, your child needs to be here by 9 and not have to be picked up until after 3:30.
In order to reserve a spot (unless you have already told me), please use the paypal button to the right. The spots are first come first serve for all the spots. Once paid your spot is reserved. If you have questions please email me.
Little Friends
Last week we spent time looking at trees, identifying different leaves and smelling bark. I know this last one is kind of strange, but we encountered a tree that looked like it was growing vanilla beans, so we smelled it to see if it smelled of vanilla. It was great that all the kids were able to identify a ginko tree by the end of the week.
This week we will be continuing to work on our leaves, as well as playing with all sorts of sensory items. Finger painting, sponge printing (to make stained glass) and we continue to use scissors, so this week we will be making paper chains.
During circle time we are learning sign language as we sing the ABCs....ask you kids to share with you.

Preschool Pals
We had a great week with our Preschool Pals! We made our 3 Little Pigs houses, our Brown Bear masks, our Triangle fish, and our Big Green Monsters! The kids also worked on cutting shapes and they are getting much better with the scissors. All our pals are becoming more vocal during our sing-alongs. You may be hearing some of our songs at home as well! We try to fit in our Days of the Week and Months of the Year songs each day, along with other song requests.
This week, we will continue exploring the letter B with bubbles,
butterflies, bumble bees, balloons and counting with beans! In addition
to practicing our counting, we will work on writing our letters each
week. Enjoy this beautiful week!

School Time Friends
In school time friends melty beads took over. It was either melty beads, or the playground. It has been so fun to see all the kids come together, and this was that week. If you have kids that need a little more help with their homework, or you would like them to be doing more homework, please let me know...I really see our job as helping you have time with your kids when they leave here, so anything I can do to make that time more meaningful, please let us know.
