Room Newsletter
January 2009
December is a wonderful
month for everyone. We made a Christmas
tree out of cardboard and had the children draw and put their hand prints on
it. We also hung up all of our
children’s pictures on the Christmas tree, along with small gift boxes, too,
which made our tree dimensional! Art
projects made by our little ones were using transport’s ink on a small
Christmas tree and this season’ stickers on a paper candy cane. The children were so busy and had so much fun
making their special projects!
Katie’s family joined our class to celebrate Katie’s second
birthday! A great big “thank you” to
Katie’s parents for providing a yummy birthday cake and for allowing all of the
toddler room children this great occasion to celebrate with Katie! All of the friends enjoyed the delicious
cake! We will miss Katie very much after
she moves on to the Blue Room, but we know she will enjoy her new class, new
friends, and new teachers!
“Happy New Year!” We hope each family enjoyed their holiday
vacation! It is time again for us to
start another great year! We will have a
broad variety of things to learn and discover!
January will be a great beginning for the
toddlers to start working more on their language skills. Our little friends talk all day long, and we
look forward to seeing everyone when we return from our holiday break. So many of the children develop so quickly
over the holiday season. It is hard to
picture them growing so fast; physically and emotionally!
This season of winter will
have the children learning to recognize new colors, such as silver, gold, red,
white, and green. We will also be
singing new songs along with the carols of the past month.
“Chinese New Year” will be
celebrated on Monday, January 26, with the children doing a Lion Dance, and a
wonderful family potluck. We look
forward to our families attending this special celebration!
“Happy Birthday, Grandma
Rose!”
