Theme of the Week - Family


Crayola Factory
Originally uploaded by S. Zachko
The children will explore concepts of family in all the centers. The six centers in our classroom are: Literacy, Dramatic Play, Science, Blocks, Art and Table Toys. We will also read books, sing songs and discuss various families and family members. In our Dramatic Plan Center, we could really use some dress-up clothes, children kitchen utensils and pretend cooking supplies to enhance our study.

ER


A and Z
Originally uploaded by S. Zachko
It's parents' nightmares to rush kids to ER. Luckily, it was just an intestine infection not appendicitis. The big one experienced her first Cat Scan and was great for the blood work. Sisters missed each other just a day of separation. They have fun with all the equipment in the hospital. Mommy and Daddy were happy she could come home next day.

From 4 to 40


From 4 to 40
Originally uploaded by S. Zachko

Girls are planning Mommy’s 40 year old birthday. The little one suggested having a birthday party at Little Gym since there are dancing, exercising and air boat riding.

Mommy explained to the little girl that the Little Gym would have birthday parties for 4 year old but won’t have ones for 40 years old. This puzzles the little one for the rest of the day. Oh well, she will understand it one day.
