Last week we said good-bye to Mark. He is now at a daycare that is much closer to his house. This week we will say Hello to Zachary (another one)! Zachary is a wonderful little boy with lots of spunk. I am sure he will make friends right away. I met his parents back in November and I am very happy to have him joining our daycare family.
This week we will be doing something a little different. We will continue to review our sight words, math skills and spanish lessons; however we will be focusing more on basic skills this week. We have some new board games to teach us about using manners, following directions and taking turns. All of the children will be participating in these games.
We will also be working on the daily tasks of putting our shoes on, puting our coats on, washing our hands and brushing our teeth. I have purchased tooth brushes for each of the children. After breakfast, snacks and lunch we will begin brushing our teeth. This will reinforce the concepts of "taking care of our bodies" with the children.
We have 3 children who are ready to start potty training and this week we will help boost their confidence and let them know what is going on in the bathroom when the older children are in there. Amelia, Julia and J.P. will be our "Assistant Potty Trainers". They will each partner with a younger child to help them on the way to potty training.
This Friday will also be the monthly Parent's Night Out. Please sign your children up as soon as possible. You are all welcome to drop your children off Friday night at 7pm and pick them up by 9am Saturday morning for just $20 a child. Please feed them dinner before they arrive and dress them in their pajamas (bobos).
Week of 19-23 January
Happy Birthday to Colin this week (20 January)! He's turning 3!
Our learning topics for this week include:
Color words. This is not color recognition. The children are learning to read their colors as sight words. We are learning to read red, orange, yellow, green, blue and purple.
Word Families for "at". (Hat, Cat, Sat, Rat, Mat, Bat). We have a book using these word families and our sight words from previous weeks which the children will read and color.
Spanish Language- House-casa, table-mesa, chair-silla, door-puerta, bathroom-bano (with ~ over the n, but I can't figure that out...Ha!)
Math- The children did a great job counting by 10's to 100 in previous weeks. I am sure all of you are tired of hearing the count by 10's to 100 song, so we are moving on. Using the School House Rock songs we will start working on counting by 5's to 100.
Sight words (we will use the same sight words for the this week and next)- see, look, no (Derek has this one down..), do, you, have, what
I have posted new slideshows of the children and will be updating some pictures on the side of this webpage over naptime this week.
As always please feel free to email me at daycarehelp@comcast.net if you have any questions.

Week of 5 January -9 January
I hope everyone had a Happy New Year's and enjoyed their time off. I'd like to thank everyone for giving me the day off on Friday as well. My family and I greatly appreciated the extra day off so we could spend more time with family. Thank-you!
This week it is back to work with our preschool lessons. We will review our Spanish and sight words on Monday and Tuesday. There are also a few songs we will go over again as well.
We will continue learning our body parts in Spanish with the song Head, Shoulders, Knees and Toes (Cabesa, Hombros, Piernas, Pies).
It is also back to writing our letters and reviewing their sounds. This week our letters are M,N,O & P. We will make a letter collage with with pictures that begin with those letters. If anyone has old magazines I would greatly appreciate it if you would bring them to daycare for us to use with our crafts.
I would also like to inform all parents that I currently have 2 open slots in my daycare. One is for full time and the other is for a part-time/drop in on Mondays and Fridays. I am offering my current daycare parents $25 off 1 week of tuition for a referral/enrollment. So if you know anyone in need of care please pass my information along. If they enroll their child I will give you the $25 credit on the following week's tuition.
