Wonderful Whales
August was a busy month of learning about the African Safari, The Zoo, Italy, Friends by the Sea and China. The Toddlers had fun decorating animal masks, tye-dying scarves, going on the waterslide, jumping on the moonbounce, seeing the lizards, eating Italian Ices, decorating a zebra cookie, seeing a penguin and making a sun catcher. The Toddlers enjoyed all of the themes and had a great tiime going in the sprinkler. The Whales are doing a nice job with their sign language and talking up a storm. The Toddlers would like to wish Good luck to Carter, Mackenzie, Ryan, Brendan, Grace and Seth on moving up to the Get Set classroom. We would also like to welcome our new friends Marli, Jack, Abby, Kayla, Emerson, Aaron, Madison, Wyatt, Madeline and Harrison. The themes for September are "I am Special", "My Favorite Things", "Family Fun" and "Heads, Shoulders, Knees and Toes". The Toddlers can't wait to learn about each other. For health and safety of our class make sure everything is labeled with first and last name. Also, that your child has utensils, bibs, two sets of clothing and make sure you take the sleeping bags home on Fridays. We hope everyone has a wonderful labor Day weekend!
Thank You,

The month of August was very hot. While we kept cool running through sprinklers, eating Italian Ice and bouncing and sliding down a huge water slide, we also learned a lot. We had an opportunity to learn about the South African Safari and the animals who live there. We made African masks and we were visited by the Lizard Guy. We also got to explore the animals that live in the zoo by visiting the Popcorn Park Zoo. We had Friends by the Sea week and we were able to visit the Monmonth Museum. We created jellyfish, sharks and a starfish. Also, we learned a lot about Italy and China. We discussed certain foods as well as their culture. We had the exciting trips such as bowling and a golf tournament at Blackbeards cave. August was a very exciting month for us. Now, the school year is quickly arriving and I am looking forward to a fun-filled, exciting and productive year. I would like to say thank you to our parents that helped by being a chaperone during the month of August. I wish everyone a happy Labor Day weekend!
