As I type today I am realizing I forgot to blog yesterday and I apologize! Yesterday morning and this afternoon we had the opportunity to participate in Music with Mar. We use a lot of this music at school so the songs Ms. Anna sang with us were familiar. Music with Mar uses music to teach which is the same philosophy we use here in the early learning department. This afternoon we made it to the playground and enjoyed running and burning some energy. During circle we played a color matching game with a large dice and bears. Please check your child's backpack for information about Messy Night that will take place on Monday March 31.

At the table today we did free journaling. We used crayons, markers, and pencils to draw and write. We did a predictible chart on the SMART Board. Each kid was given a different colored paper bear. They then helped create the sentence "(name) has a (color) bear." When we were finished they were able to read the sentence. Don't forget tomorrow is the FREE vision screenings done by the Lions Club here in the Cottage. The screenings are from 9:00am-1:00pm no appointment necessary!!
Hello families! Today we explored scooters in the gym. Scooters work our large motor skills. They work on balance, coordination, and they help build our muscles! We started a new song this week, Tu Ti Ta. It is from Music with Mar, which the kids will get to enjoy this Thursday or Friday. They enjoyed watching the teachers act silly with the song today.
At the table today we cut clay. It was a stickier texture than playdough, tough to cut and great for building the muscles in their hands! Today we started reading Goldilocks and the Three Bears, did the Hokey Pokey and enjoyed getting some fresh air on the playground (this morning).
We played with play dough at the table today. We cut, rolled, pushed, and squeezed the play dough to make our fingers strong! We are working really hard in the morning on sharing and taking turns with toys during center time. In the afternoon we are working on extending our play with peers.
