Water Babies!

 

 

Tuesdays will now become our swim days. The Baby Bears love water, and love getting me wet upon many splashes and lots of giggles!

 

 

The downfall of water days is it makes them so sleepy that they start melting as soon as we enter into the classroom. We placed all of them in one corner of the room to contain all the crying and tantrums. Thankfully the only thing that makes the crying stop is me playing classical music.

 

 

 

Art and Sensory today, they love when I paint their hands...

 

 

 

In your child's cubby you will find a goodbye letter from Miss Abbie. She is leaving us and is  going back to her hometown to live and work. We will miss her dearly, she is a great friend and I know I will miss working with such a hardworking teacher. I am in the process of making her a DVD of pictures of the kiddo's. Please also send me your emails so I can to send you a copy as well.

Cool as a cucumber!

 

We took some fun pictures outside today with some sunglasses on. They loved playing outside today and loved all that extra attention when we took our fun photos too. If you haven't gotten your picture off the door yet be sure to take it home for Father's Day weekend!

 

 

 



After pictures they were getting restless from sitting in their stroller and wagons that we let them run around in the grass. They ran all over the place, some of the toddlers are getting pretty fast!

 

 

 

 

We love books and everyone has their favorites. We read lots and lots of books throughout the day and I will be purchasing more next month as well.

 

Hailey and Alice tell about their favorite books...

Summer Time Fun!

May I ask for some prayers for my Dad, he is having an emergency prostate surgery Friday morning and I am not able to get off of work. I would appreciate some prayers of a good outcome. Thanks!
 

 

The toddlers and two year olds and their swim day together because it was so hot outside! They actually stayed out of each other's ways. It was more the older two's helping the younger ones which was really cute to watch.

 

 

 

 

Summer Love...

 

 

We are working on the sign "At Work"; Hailey picked up on the sign for "work" in just one day. I am so proud of her! We work on this sign throughout the day. Come see me for the full sign if you would like to learn it.

 

 

We work on sign language throughout the day and at our group time in the mornings. Signing also helps them transition to the two year old classroom because Miss Beth does a lot of signing with her kids along with using the correct words.

 

These two keep me on my toes during the day...

 

 

Our favorite song except when I go to record it they just stare at me, oh well at least their all so cute!

Friday Fun!

 

 

This morning we got all sun screened up to go outside and play. I took one foot outside and brought them all back in to switch into their swimwear. Wow, what a hot and muggy day it was! They loved the water play as I'm sure it felt great, and we spent an hour outside playing. We also played so hard that at naptime they almost didn't even make it to their cots they all fell asleep and slept for almost 3 hours. We had to wake them all up so we could go eat our afternoon snack.

 

 

So glad we decided to do ice cream outside today. They were covered in chocolate and ice cream that we just rinsed them off in the swimming pools.

 

 

It's important that our toddlers drink water while playing outside. They love their water bottles!

Nothing like a little snack after we come in from playing outside!

Driving in Paint!

 

It's a good thing that they liked driving their cars and trains in paint today because we are doing it again on Thursday except next time they will all be stripped down to their diapers and doing it as a group activity.

(Don't forget if you received pictures today on your child's daily sheet then that means our cutest moments pictures are updated on the wall in our classroom!)

 

 



June Newsletter

Baby Bears

June, 2015

 

 

Dear Families,

June has finally arrived, and I am happy with the weather that we have had so far! Please remember to pack a light jacket for our morning outside times, as sometimes it is still a bit chilly out. Happy Birthday to Theo, who will turn 2 this month! We will celebrate with special treats and a birthday party.

We are excited for our splash water days. They will be each Wednesday. Please send a swimsuit, swim diaper, towel, and swim shoes. Please label all items that you bring into the classroom. The Baby Bears will get to explore small wading pools, the sprinkler, and water tables with sponges and water toys! 

We have some fun activities planned for this month! But first, here are the themes we will have  in the month of June. We will spend two weeks on Transportation, then #1 Dad, and Under the Sea! We will be singing “Wheels on the Bus” and “Slippery Fish” with all the hand actions. We will be having our Pajama Day on June 19th!

I am really proud of the language that the baby bears are using. It is really becoming clear and constant. The children are learning to name people, places and things. We are using phrases such as “help, please”, “more, please”, “thank-you” and “sorry” to communicate needs. We are also reading and doing activities as a group to use language and to communicate. We have a small group at 10:30 a.m. where we sing songs and read books. We will be reading a couple of new books this month which will include Red Truck, Yellow Bus: A Book of Colors, Octopus Opposites and Spot Loves His Daddy.

Some fun activities we will do this month are paint with bubble wrap and do a happy feet dance on them, finger paint with chocolate pudding, and painting outside with water. We will also have many crafts to do for our dads for Father’s Day!

Love,

Miss Becky Stevenson
