All About Me!

Our first week of school was great! We learned about the things that make us different and special from everyone else and we also compared things that were the same.

We began our life size projects of ourselves. Ms Melissa traced us on butcher paper. We painted our clothes. Next week we will label our body parts and finish our master pieces of ourselves. We worked on spelling and writing our names.(some cob-webs over the summer).

We also made an All about me book with Ms Jordyn. We finger painted and played with blue water in the sensory table. We had fun giving"babies" baths and taking care of them. We took turns making "breakfast" and making coffee for Ms. Melissa. In block area we made schools with the blocks and loaded up the school buses to bring them to school.

We had lots of fun in music time dancing to the "hokey pokey" and"loopty-loo". We used stickers and smiley bracelets to help us remember our right from our left. We began learning the song "hands on my head" to learn all our body parts. We are also learning "where is thumpkin" and "Tommy thumb". To help us learn the names of our fingers. If you would like the lyrics to any of these songs just let Ms. Melissa know.

SAVE THE DATE We will be going Apple picking to Cider Hill Wednesday September 21st from 9:00-11:00. Field trip permission slip will be hanging on the parent board. The cost of the trip will be $5.00.

Still trying to get to the children's museum and really want to make it to Charmingfare farm again for the pumpkin fall fest. Anyone willing to chaperone will get a free day of daycare.

(If your child is 4, dont forget to do the monthly HW calendar daily. A lot of the assignments have to do we activities going on in the classroom so if the HW isnt done they have a hard time participating in the activities.)

Summer Fun!

Thank you everyone for a wonderful summer. We have had lots of fun on the many field trips this summer! Unfortunately, the camera got left outside and many photos were ruined. We have 3 field trips left for the remaining of the summer. We have two beach trips left, the children's museum, mosely park, and playground trips.

Our end of the summer "CARNIVAL PARTY" will be on August 29th. All children are invited to attend on this day, even if they are not scheduled to attend. We will be playing carnival games that the children helped make out of recycled materials! They will earn tickets to pick prizes and candy. Any donations are greatly appreciated. They also have been working on a talent show. We have encouraged the children to decide what they will do for a special talent! All our wonderful talents will be uploaded to our youtube page.

Please remember to supply us with your child's fall schedule so we know when to put them on and off the bus.

Also, we currently have two openings for the fall. If you know anyone looking for care please let them know.

BABY ANIMALS

Summer is fast approaching! I have been busy planning our field trips so I haven't added many blogs recently and I apologise! I also left my camera outside in all that wet weather and unfortunately, most of this past months pictures have been ruined.

The children have been busy learning about animal babies and their names. We learned and Sang Rock a bye baby and played a rocking game. You can see it on our youtube page. If you type in millisf videos or under Ovet the Rainbow Dayschool you will find all our uploads. I finally learned how to upload so many more will soon be added!! Again, if I do not have your email or we are not facebook friends please give me your email or friend me on face book please provide so I can send you direct links to this post and our videos when they are uploaded.

We will be tie-dying next Wednesday so please send you child to school in an outfit that can be ruined. Tie-dying can be messy. I will supply the tee-shirts. We will be using these shirts for our field trips. Your child will need to wear this shirt for every trip. No worries, if I have extras if it is forgotten one day.

If you haven't already, field trip money is due and parent signature for the first 3 field trips.

Baby Animals

We have had fun learning about all different baby animals and their unique animals. We have done many fun crafts and activities! Here are just a few!

We made neat fish snack holders and put gold fish crackers inside to learn that some mommy fish keep their babies safe in their mouths! Another favorite activity was we each made a monkey and we carried them on our backs and stomachs!! We pretended that they were our babies. We enjoyed dancing with our baby monkeys a lot. A favorite activity that we played was we each took turns being the mommy holding our babies in our mouth or pouch(pretend). They were actually puzzle pieces. When our friends hid their eyes we hid the pieces around the room. Everyone found one puzzle piece and we worked together to put the puzzle together. We learned team work success!!

Asked me what a Baby Kangaroo is called.

Make sure you remember to pass in summer registrations and save your field trip calendar!
