Week of Nov. 16- 20

The weather has been absolutely wonderful this fall!  The snow and freezing cold can go ahead and hold off as long as possible!  We have been enjoying every last minute of being outside without full snowsuits on!

We celebrated Cody's 5th birthday last week with some yummy cupcakes!

We welcomed Charlotte to our group last week!  She is a sweet two year old who is going to be a fantastic addition to our group.  Please be sure to say hello to her mom, Chelsea or Dad, Kevin at drop off/pick up times if you see them!

Tasha came for music class on Friday and we had a blast with her!  The kids really love having our classes for a nice change of pace!

This week we will have Travel Tots on Tuesday with Ms. Beth at 9am!

Also wanted to notify parents that I will be using 3 remaining vacation/personal days on Dec. 28, 29 and 30 to close for the Holidays.  So in combination with the Holidays I am already closed, I will be closed starting Dec. 24 and will re-open on Jan. 4.  There is also a CHANCE I might be using a 2016 vacation day on Jan 4 since we are heading to Green Bay to celebrate the Holidays with our family there New Years weekend and are going to Lambeau Sunday to watch the Packers beat the Vikings! I will notify you for sure about that day within the next week or so. Horrible timing I know, but the NFL didn't listen to me when I tried to petition the game schedule!!!! ;)

We will be having a Christmas Show/Party Dec. 23 at 4:30 for the parents.  The kids will sing a few songs for you and have treats before heading out to enjoy Christmas Break!

Menu:
Monday- Fish Sticks, mixed fruit,  carrots w/ranch and milk
Tuesday- Sloppy Joe pockets, green beans, pears and milk
Wednesday- Cheese quesadillas, Corn, apple slices and milk
Thursday- Baked Penne, garlic bread, peas, oranges and milk
Friday- Chicken Patty Sandwiches, mixed veggies, peaches and milk

Now is the perfect time to get your kids flu shot!  Help protect all of us and minimize the spread of influenza!  I feel like we have all come down with something the last few years on Thanksgiving weekend!  Let's try to NOT do that this year! 

Week of Nov. 9-13

It is so much fun having new friends to play with!  Last week we enjoyed getting to know Cody.  This week we get the chance to get to know Charlotte and her parents!  It's a full house around here again and we love it!

This week we have music class on Friday with Tasha!  I wonder what fun songs we'll sing and what kind of instruments the kids will get to play!

On Wednesday we are also going to have brown day!  Help your child pick out brown clothes to wear to reinforce our color of the month!

This week our theme is FALL HARVEST!  We will be talking about a lot of different fall foods!

With the approaching winter and all the extra clothes/gear we need to put on to get outside, it would be great if parents could start working with their kids on getting some of it on on their own! I use the flip method for jackets with the younger kids.  Getting snow pants on by themselves and putting their own shoes/boots on would be a huge help! That way it wouldn't take us quite as long to get outside once the snow comes!

Menu:

Monday- Beef Stroganoff, apples, peas and milk

Tuesday- Grilled Cheese sandwiches, pears, green beans and milk

Wednesday- Chicken Nuggets, peaches, mixed veggies and milk

Thursday- Meatballs, carrots, oranges and milk

Friday- Pancakes, sausage, bananas and milk

Reminder- I am closed on Thanksgiving and the day after!

Week of November 2nd- November

Can not believe November is already here!  It is crazy to think that Thanksgiving is right around the corner!

We had a lot of fun at our Halloween party last week!  The kids all looked so cute in their costumes!  I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend full of trick or treating and Spooky Fun!!!

This week we will be starting with our November Curriculum and decorating for Thanksgiving.

We also have Travel Tots on Tuesday with Ms. Beth at 9am

A new friend has joined our group as well!  Cody will be 5 in November and is going to be a fun addition to our group!  Be sure to introduce yourself to his parents if you see them at drop off and pick up!

Next week we have Charlotte starting on Monday, she is 2 years old!

Menu:
Monday- Chicken tacos, carrots, grapes and milk
Tuesday- Fish Sticks, green beans, pears and milk
