April 25-29

Rain Rain Go Away...12 kids want to go outside and play!!!!!  We will get out as much as possible this week with the rain moving through off and on all week.  The grass and plants need it, so I'll tolerate it for now!!!

We do not have Travel tots this week, Ms. Beth is on vacation.

But we will be having Hat day on Wednesday!  Wear a hat from home!  Can be your favorite hat, or a super crazy hat...whatever your child chooses!

Last week we celebrated Eva's third birthday!  Thanks for bringing us delicious treats!

Menu:

Monday- Pizza rolls, broccoli, bananas and milk

Tuesday- Burritos, corn, applesauce and milk

Wednesday- Eggs, Ham, toast, pineapple and milk

Thursday- Meatballs. green beans, peaches and milk

Friday- Grilled Cheese sandwiches, carrots, pears and milk

I hope everyone has a great week!

April 11-15

This week we will start our Zoo theme!  There are a lot of fun crafts, activities and songs we will be doing to learn about different animals at the zoo!  I think the kids will love it!

We also have Travel Tots on Tuesday with Ms. Beth at 9:00.

It looks like we should finally have some more Spring-like weather later this week!  Looking forward to spending more time outside and hopefully going for a walk to the park for some fun!

I just received that Erin has accepted a more full time job for Summer, meaning she won't have much availability to help out here as often.  I am in the process of starting my search for a part time substitute for summer so I can spend some more time with my kids during their summer break.  If anyone knows of someone looking for a part time summer job (about 10 hours a week, once in a while more that that to cover a few vacation days) who is great with kids let me know or feel free to pass my info along.  It is primarily Fridays and one other day a week!  Would be great for a teacher, a stay at home mom or a college student home for the summer.

I will be using a personal day and Closing on Friday May 27 since the kids are off school that day.  A little extra time together for Memorial Day weekend! Please mark your calendars!

MENU:
Monday- Tacquitos, mixed veggies, apples and milk
Tuesday- Pancakes, sausage, pears and milk
Wednesday- Chicken Patty Sandwiches, carrots, fruit cocktail and milk
Thursday-Spaghetti, garlic bread, peaches and milk
Friday- Pigs in a Blanket, corn, oranges and milk

April Showers Bring May Flowers!  That is our theme for this week! We have have fun learning about Spring showers as well as other types of weather!

This week we will also be having PURPLE day on Wednesday, Bring something from home that is PURPLE as show and tell!  This will be a fun way to start learning about this month's color!

We are having fun getting to know Lana!  Our newest daycare friend!  She is Eva's little sister and is almost 16 months old.  Lana is having fun playing with all the kids!

Last week we had a great time riding bikes!  Please remember that we do try to get outside every day so send your kids with appropriate outerwear for the weather forecast for the day.  Some days we may be in T-shirts, other days we may need winter jackets, hats and mittens...the joys of spring in Minnesota!
