Preschool Older Floor - May blog

It has been a very busy month filled with so many great experiences.
With the Winnipeg Jets making it into the playoffs we all had so much fun with; decorating the room, dressing up and even hosting our own hockey game with creating a small rink in our room, using mini hockey sticks and small nets too, of course. We have created a documentation panel up and it is posted near the office if you would like to take a peak.

At the beginning of May we started our “Fit Kids Healthy Kids” program that comes every Wednesday for 8 weeks in the morning for ½ hour and we truly have loved every minute of it. It has been giving us great outdoor game/activity ideas and many different ways we can incorporate active play into our back yard play space. Some of the great ideas so far have been: warm up games/activities getting our heart rates up, parachute games, using pool noodles and balloons in different balancing ways, and moving our bodies in different and creative ways.

At the beginning of the month we had been struggling with what theme to do for the drama center. Then school age children had built a fire truck out of a giant box, they decided it was too small for them and graciously gave it to us. We took it outside and the children painted it and we brought out the fire fighter prop box. The children spent most of the month engaged in play with it and we have been noticed it starting to fizzle out so we have been doing some observations to what we can change the drama center into next to keep them engaged in pretend play.

The children worked very hard on their canvas paintings for Mother’s Day, we truly hope you all enjoyed them. Our favourite part was asking them what they love most about their Mom’s and listening to their responses.  It was so heart warming. We are excited to be working on our Father’s Day surprises soon.

With the warmer weather increasing we will continue to spend lots of our time outside; we welcome you to bring a water bottle for your child, please take it home at the end of their week to get cleaned and brought back for the next week.

Giving your baby a bath

Time it right: Don't give your baby a real bath until the umbilical cord stump falls off. Sponge baths are okay until then. Gather supplies: A baby tub (or just the sink), a washcloth or two, cotton balls (optional), baby soap, a towel, and a fresh diaper. Get ready: Heat the room if it's chilly, and run an inch or two of warm water (about 90 degrees Fahrenheit) into the tub or sink Take the plunge: Undress your baby and gradually place her in the tub on her back. Support her head and neck with one hand. Keep her comfy: Gently pour cupfuls of water over your baby's body throughout the bath so she doesn't get cold. Clean all over: Use a washcloth, cotton balls, or your hand to gently wash your baby's face and body. No need to scrub or use much soap. Read More

Why Healthy Teeth Are Important

How does taking care of your teeth help with all those things? Taking care of your teeth helps prevent plaque , which is a clear film of bacteria sticks to your teeth. After you eat, bacteria go crazy over the sugar on your teeth, like ants at a picnic. The bacteria break it down into acids that eat away tooth enamel, causing holes called cavities. Plaque also causes gingivitis (say: jin-juh-vi-tis), which is gum disease that can make your gums red, swollen, and sore. Your gums are those soft pink tissues in your mouth that hold your teeth in place. If you don't take care of your teeth, cavities and unhealthy gums will make your mouth very, very sore. Eating meals will be difficult. And you won't feel like smiling so much. Before Toothpaste Was Invented We're lucky that we know so much now about taking care of our teeth.
