Darling Dolphins

Hard to believe we are going into a third month of the school year. How fast the time goes by. Michael F was just a little peanut when he started now he is sitting up at the table and holding his own bottle. Jared enjoys looking in the mirror. Brendan is doing a great job in the exersaucer. Luke lives hugs & kisses. Everyone gets the biggest kick out of Michael D when he says DoDo. Hailey & Grace are enjoying tummy time. Sabrina has mastered crawling. Jack enjoys watching everyone and visiting with Aunt Karyn. Gianna is trying to crawl and Ashley will dance to any kind of music at any time. We will be making leaves & learning about different animals on the farm. We will be touching base on cars, trucks and buses all things that have wheels.

Have a Happy Thanksgiving!
Miss Kym, Miss Cindy & Miss Ciarra

Terrific Turtles

Fall is here! Help your child notice the changes in their world; the temperature, the changing colors, and falling of the leaves. This month we will be learning about trees, farm animals, the number three, the letter "C", the color yellow, and the circle. Take time to point out all of these topics with your child!

Have a Happy Thanksgiving!

Wonderful Whales

October was a busy month with school pictures and learning about community helpers. The whales hope everyone had a Happy Columbus Day and a Happy Halloween. The toddlers loved learning about the Policemen, Fireman and Firetruck, The Dentist and the Vet. The Toddlers have been learning alot of new words in Spanish and signs for sign language. They are doing very well with their numbers, shapes and colors. They really enjoy singing their ABC's. The Whales looked so cute in their costumes for the parade and we like to thank the parents for the treats for the party. November brings lots of new things to learn. Our themes are: "Falling Leaves", "Animals on the Farm", "Tractors, Trains and Things with Wheels" and "Thanksgiving Feast". The toddlers are looking forward to learning about Harvest Time. We would like to wish everyone a Happy Thanksgiving. We wish miss Peggy good luck and we will miss her.

Thank You,
