Parents:
My weekly postings will be changing to monthly postings, with the occasional update being added to let you all know about the progress your children are making.
I will post our learning objectives, activities schedule and various other items in the new monthly post.
We will continue our sight words, spanish, math concepts, reading and writing as usual; however it will be done on a lower scale. Some of the children seemed to be getting bogged down with "work". Although this "work" seemed to make a lot of parents very happy, my daycare is a place for learning, creating, imagination and fun.
Now that the nicer weather is coming we will be outside exploring more and learning about what is around us by rolling around in the grass, making mud pies and digging for bugs. (All of the wonderful things we did as kids.)

Just a quick heads up: I will be having Ms. Jennifer Rizzo from Tumblin Tots here again this summer. She runs a wonderful program and the children lover her classes which are taught throughtout our community. Last year I had parents bring to my attention that they would love for their children to become involved in extra activities, but the parents schedules did not allow for this. I contacted Jen Rizzo and she agreed to bring her program to us. It was such a wonderful success last year that Jen has happily agreed to do it all over again! I am very excited. As the summer gets closer and the details become available I will pass the information along.

Special Thank You

I'd like to give a special thank you to all of my Daycare Parents who picked up their children early on Thursday and those who kept their children home. I greatly appreciate your consideration and allowing my family the extra time to spend with my husband before he deployed again this morning.

As a special thank you (and to show my appreciation) I am offering a St. Patrick's Day late pick up for FREE to all parents who picked up early or kept their kids home. Please feel free to leave your children with me until 9pm Tuesday March 17th and go enjoy a nice dinner without your chilren.

Thank you again.

Ms. Vernee'

Week of 9 March- 13 March

First I'd like to make a quick correction-- Alex's last day will be next week, not this week. (So I get to keep him and love him and spoil him one more week!)

This week we are concentration on our numbers. We will be writing numbers, counting numbers and coloring numbers.

We had so much fun rhyming last week that we are doing it again this week. I cannot wait to hear the funny words that your children will come up with during our rhyming games. Please remember that right now rhyming words do not need to make sense so Honey can rhyme with Money, Woney or Toney (J.P. came up with Goofy, Poofy and Loofy). Rhyming should be fun so try and see how many funny "words" you and your child can come up with.

I am looking forward to a GREAT week.

Thank you for allowing me to be a part of your children's lives.
Ms. Vernee'

I will update more pictures this afternoon during nap time (Just for Grandpa Straeter).

Week of 2 March - 6 March

This week we are talking about rhyming words (cat-hat big-pig). We have a few games to play which will make learning more fun. The 3-year-olds will be coming home with a new book this week. Please keep reading their books at home.

We have been reading a lot in daycare over the past few weeks. Our favorite books are "The Foot Book", "The Hungry Caterpillar" and our all time favorite "Hugs". Children love to hear the same stories over and over, so if you have these books at home please read and reread them to your children.

This Friday is Parents Night Out. Please let me know if your children will be attending. The hours are Friday 7pm until Saturday 9am. The cost is just $20/child. Please feed them dinner and put them in their Bobos (P.J.'s) before dropping them off.

Now on to some sad news--- Alex is moving. His last day will be next Thursday. He has grown so much during the time he has been with us and I will miss him very much.
Taking Alex's place is Emma(Luke's baby sister). She is a beautiful baby girl and I am very excited about her joining us!

Please keep yourselves updated with the calender at the bottom of this page. I have added a provider vacation week from 13 April until 17 April. I have an alternate provider (Ms. Kelly) set in place to provide care for your children in my absence. If anyone would like to use her during my vacation period please let me know so I can book your children with her.
