Week(S) of April 24- May 5

Hey Families!  I apologize for my lack of blog posts the last week and a half!!!  The start of baseball season chaos mixed with the beginning of"end of school year" activities is proving very hectic and I feel like a chicken with my head cut off half the time!!!!  I will try my best to stay on top of it!

This week we will be talking about "April Showers Bring May Flowers" as we say goodbye to the month of April!  We have been blessed with some beautiful weather days for playing outside, and I keep reminding myself that the rainy days are just turning everything nice and green for us!  Summer weather will be here soon!!!

Not much on the calendar for this week.  But next week we will have Travel Tots on Tuesday  May 2nd with Ms Beth at 9am.  She had to cancel our second class in April due to car problems, so the kids will be excited to see her after missing that class!

Week of April 10-14

What a fun week we had last week with Travel Tots and Music Class all in the same week!!!  I am looking at adding a third class, either a yoga class or the Tumble Bus.  The kids would love either one, will let you know later once I get more information from both and make a decision.

 

The kids have been enjoying looking for signs of spring- so far we have seen the grass getting a little more green, trees and plants starting to grow, a couple flowers, birds being back and even found a worm!





This week, we will continue with our birds, nests and eggs theme!  There was an issue with the curriculum shipping, so they are attempting to piece together enough child packets and get that out to me, but for now I am just moving forward with some of my own crafts, songs, books, etc!

We will also have a little Easter Egg hunt on Thursday! As well as an Easter themed craft and snack!

Reminder that I am closed on Friday, I hope everyone has a wonderful Easter!  We have Chris' sister and step mom coming to stay with us. Looking forward to our time together and have some fun planned, but as with every other "first" holiday without their dad, I am sure it will be tough.

Menu:
Monday- Beef tacos, corn, berries and milk
Tuesday- Macaroni and Cheese, oranges, green beans and milk
Wednesday- Sloppy Joes. Mixed veggies, pears and milk
Thursday- Pizza, fruit cocktail, peas and milk
Friday- Closed

Week of April 3-7

April is here!  Winter is over and its time to look forward to a bright green, sunny spring and summer!  The kids have been enjoying a lot of wonderful time outdoors lately!  It is great when we get out in the mornings for play time as well as the afternoon!  I think their favorite is eating snack outside!

Last week we had a great walk to the park and spent a sunny afternoon there!  The kids get so excited when I say we'll be going to the park that day!

Before Spring break, we had a fun "Green Day" party!  I forgot to share the pictures last week in the blog, so I will include a few of them this week!  The pot of gold Coin toss was a huge hit!
