The next 2 weeks we will be having fun talking about snow people. I am hoping this week we will get outside and can possibly build a snowman on the playground. Last week we read Snowman at Night and the children created their own snow person at night and thought about what they would do if they were a snow person at night. Pictures posted on the classroom blog. This week we will build a paper snow person, and write our name in each snowball (pictures to be posted later).

The Hot Beverage Café in the dramatic play area has been a BIG hit!! The children have loved ordering and creating different drinks for their teachers and classmates. The fairy garden has also been a lot of fun. They enjoy playing with the tiny houses, gems, and figures. Watching the children use their imagination is so much fun.

It is that time of year where children are getting sick. Please help teach your child how to use their elbow to sneeze/cough into, use a tissue & throw it away, and wash your hands!!! I have noticed a few of my children are a little nervous to go to the school nurse, so we will be taking a class "field trip" to the nurse's office next week. Hopefully this will help relieve some anxiety for some children.

ALSO - Please call the main office if your child is sick (264-5900).
