Baby Bears
April, 2015
April is the month when we will celebrate the Week of the
Young Child, April 13th - April 17th. The Week of the Young Child recognizes
the needs of young children, and thanks educators and others involved in
building better futures for all children. Our center will be having a basket
auction of April 17th. Each class will create a themed basket, which
you will be able to bid on at our Week of the Young Child dance on April 17th.
The theme for our class basket will be “Art Supplies!” We ask that each family
make a donation to the basket. If you need ideas, ask Miss Becky!
We will celebrate two birthdays this month. Miss Becky’s
birthday is on Tuesday, April 8t. I will be bringing in ice cream to
celebrate with the toddlers. Teagan will be 2 this month! Her birthday is on April 16th. We
will celebrate with special treats and presents. I will be gone from Friday
April 17th through Tuesday, April 22nd. My dad is running the Boston Marathon, and
I’m going along to cheer him on! Our themes for this month will be Flowers, Bugs,
Yellow, and Farm Animals.
To develop our toddler’s language and communication skills,
we play music throughout the day. We play everything from sing along tunes to
classical music .We will be doing some new finger plays this month that
include: “Old McDonald Has a Farm,” “I’m bringing Home a Baby Bumblebee” and
“Five Little Ducks.” Look for these handouts in your child’s folder. Some new
books we will be reading our “A Very Hungry Caterpillar”, “A Tiny Seed” and “Animals
on the Farm.”
We will also be having conferences to discuss the the
progress of your toddlers after 6 months in our classroom. You will be getting
an assessment sheet that we can go over as well. Some fun activities that the
toddlers will get to enjoy this month will be: exploring worms and dirt in the
sensory table, tissue paper art, scribbling with chalk and chasing bubbles
outside. And let’s not forget many cute hand and footprint crafts!
Love, Miss Becky
