Nursery Room December 2014 Newsletter


J Work Time is a great time of the day when children can explore and play with each other in the classroom.  The children make friends and have lots of fun.  Every day during  work time something special happens.  This month Neo and Joris took turns giving each other hugs.  Shiloh and LinLin read books with Ms. Tian.  Michael and Hanna played peekaboo in the play house by opening and closing the windows.  Mayu and Helen hid in the tent and laughed when I opened the door and found them.  After work time we all help each other clean up the room and then look forward to the next time.

November was a great month the children really enjoyed learning the songs for the Christmas concert and digging for pictures in a box of rice for the Exploration Lesson.

It will be getting cold soon don’t forget to send mittens for little cold hands. I will be gone the last two weeks of December for Christmas, but there will still be school as usual.

In a one horse open sleigh!  Hey!
Dashing through the snow
In a one horse open sleigh

Bells on bobtails ring
Making spirits bright
What fun it is to ride and sing a sleighing song tonight

Toddler Room December 2014 Newsletter

2014 is already coming to an end!  We have had a productive and exciting 3 months of school.  Our trip to the zoo last month was a lot of fun! We saw many animals and enjoyed exploring with our friends!

The children have been working extremely hard to perfect their Christmas concert song and dance.  We are excited for our family and friends to watch us perform!

The most popular areas in the Toddler Room this month were the art area and the house area.  Joan, Ashlee, and Emilu have been perfecting their cutting skills.  They enjoy coloring pictures and then using the scissors to cut them out.  The music area has become popular with Katie and Quasar.  The girls put on the jewelry and dance around the room.  Koki and Chio are the chefs of our classroom.   Alexander, Christopher, and Vincent have been scary pirates!  The pirates chase each other around the classroom and wrestle on the carpet.  Our classroom "clean team," is composed of Winnie, Candy, and Chloe.  The girls make sure the toys are put away and that their friends are helping clean as well.  All of our Toddler friends enjoy their time outside riding bicycles and running from the dinosaur (Mr. Morgan)! :)
