Baby Bears
May, 2013
Dear
Families,
Thank you for
such a warm welcome to the Baby Bears toddler classroom! It has been fun
getting to know your little ones and
reconnecting with some of the toddlers that I had as infants. I’d like to start
with a few reminders. Please use the silver binder that has your child’s daily
sheet in it. There is a section noted “Parent’s Message” in this binder. Any important info that you need to remind us
of, you may do so by writing it down. The binder will always be on the counter
as soon as you walk into the classroom. I’ve also included an attendance sheet;
please start signing your child in each day.
As the warmer weather approaches, please provide a light
jacket if necessary, a sunhat, and sunscreen. There will be a form for you to
fill out for sunscreen. We cannot use sunscreen on your child until you fill
out the form. We have a big move coming in May. Five of the toddlers will move
up to the Fluffy Ducks 2 year old room. If I have talked to you, then your
child is moving up. I want to wish Lily a Happy Birthday; she will be two this
month! We will celebrate with special birthday treats and a party!
This
month we will focus on sensory activities. Sensory play is very important for
toddlers, as they are still experiencing the sensory motor phase of their
development. Some of our activities will include finger painting with
applesauce, happy feet on bubble wrap, water play in the sensory tubs, rolling
a ball in paint, and just plain old finger painting. We really like to get
messy in this room; please bring extra socks as sometimes we get a little too
excited before we are all ready to go!
For our quiet time of the day, which is right before we
go to lunch, we will be reading some new books, including “Baby Bear, Baby Bear
What Do You See?”,” Llama, Llama Hoppity Hop!”,
“Hands Are Not for Hitting” and much, much more reading, This group of
toddlers just loves books and we love to read to them! We read
daily!
Just a reminder: My hours are from 7:15 a.m.- 5:15 p.m.,
Tuesday through Friday, and Miss Molly’s hours are from 7:00 a.m.-2:30 p.m.
Monday through Friday. If you ever have any questions, please fill free to ask
us, we’d be more than happy to help you!
We are in the
process of creating a fun gift for all you mommies out there!
Love,
Becky
