Spring break was a blast!  We started the week of with all kinds of camping activities, setting up camp and cooking a hotdog lunch. The kids all enjoyed this area and had fun all week "camping!" Wednesday we had planned to do some baking and boy, did it turn out to be one awesome baking day!  The kids decided to hold a bake sale and donate all the proceeds to The Frosting Foundation.  The kids raised $176.00 which was enough to purchase 7 birthday boxes for kids at the Children's Hospital.  Thank you to everyone for their support!!   We created a spa for the kids.  Everything from hair, massages, nail painting and giving the boys a "shave" were offered! Friday ended with a bang and we had a bouncer which the kids really enjoyed!!

In March, we added a show and tell to our routine.  The children have the opportunity to bring in something from home every Wednesday.  Everyone is able to ask questions and learn about each others special item.  We also started doing circle time.  It ususally takes place after snack or before lunch.  We do letter of the day, number of the day for our caterpillar.  We practiced sounds and found different things that start with the same letter.  Many different activities have been going on, on Older Floor.  We set up a Doctor's office/Hospital so the children are able to learn and act out the many different roles and scenarios.  They had lots of fun with this!  Each day we try to have a dance party.  The kids have been so interested in the "Gummy Bear" song and pretty much any song from Frozen.  With the nice weather, we've had the chance to walk to Ashland Park.  With ...

In March, we planned a dino day and the kids are had so much fun!   Lots of kids came in wearing their dino shirt and we did some dino painting.  We stomped around the room like big dinosaurs and roared to our fellow dinosaur friends!  We had a tea party this month as well and baked a cake and cookies for it.  All of the kids really enjoyed the party!  Another activity that is always a hit, is making paper airplanes!  We had races to see who's plane is the fastest! Lots of fun was had in April!  We made edible finger paint and it tasted awful...but we loved watching it change colors, squishing it between our fingers and on the paper.  Unfortunately the consistency made it break apart on the paper as it dried so we will try a different recipe in May! The field at the Rec Center was one of the main places out walks took us this past month.  Checking to see how dry the fields were and running around the bases took quite a bit of e...

In March, we welcomed Ben to our Program.  We are so excited to have him a part of our group! With the weather not cooperating, we spent a lot of time indoors this month.  We did a lot of gross motor activities; playing on and with the mats.  We did rolling, climbing and hopping on the mats.  We love moving our bodies, it makes us feel so good!  We also played a few games and made a tent.  We crawled inside and played peek-a-boo.  We are so happy it is spring and can't wait to play in our yard! April was bug month in our room!  We had pictures of different bugs and posted them on our wall for the children to see.  We went outside with bug nets and cages to see what bugs we could catch!  Inside, we saw a bug crawling and used our net to catch (with help from the teacher of course!)  The kids were able to really watch and see how the bug moved around.  We ate 'worms...
