January 8-12

We are back in the swing of things!  The kids were so great last week after a long break, it was a pleasant surprise!  Especially with the cabin fever setting in a bit!  We look forward to being able to go outside this week!

With the mild(er) temperatures, we will be going outside every day!  Please be sure to send all their gear.  Including waterproof mittens.  And at night please hang them and be sure everything is dry for the morning.  Theres nothing like putting on soaking wet winter gear before heading outside.

My mother is having hip surgery this week, so there is a small chance that I may have a sub here at some point during the week depending on how she is doing and what she will need help with.  I will keep you all informed if something comes up.

We had travel tots this morning.  With the New Years Holiday being last Monday, Ms. Beth switched us to this week!  The kids had a lot of fun traveling to Russia, but they did say they'd prefer the beach! ;)

I should have everyone's paperwork folder Tuesday to bring home for annual updates. I will also have the 2018 closed dates enclosed.  I had hoped to accomplish this task last Friday, but I found out a close family friend passed away early that morning and just didn't have the focus to complete them.  I apologize for the delay and will be sure to get it to you ASAP.


Menu:
Monday: Grilled Cheese, peas, grapes and milk
Tuesday: Spaghetti, mixed veggies, pears and milk
Wednesday: Chicken Tenders, Tator Tots, apples and milk
Thursday: Sloppy Joes, oranges, green beans and milk
Friday: Bean and Cheese burritos, corn, berries and milk

HAPPY NEW YEAR!  I hope everyone had a wonderful time with family and friends over the Holidays.

Public service announcement: IT'S COLD OUT!  Brrrrrrrrr!  It has been brutal and it doesn't look like there is a thaw anytime in the bear future!  Just a reminder that it needs to be 20 degree or above for us to go outside, including the windchill. So it may be a while!  We will get creative on ways to burn off some energy during the day.

I will have 2018 paperwork for everyone by the end of the week.  It will include a full packet for anyone that has been here longer than a year to update.  If it has been less than a year and there are no changes, you will not need to fill everything out again.  There are no changes to my policies this year,  but I will have a list of closed days for 2018.  The next day is Presidents Day on February 19th.

We will be on our Spring Break vacation from March 7-16, but I am hoping to get a sub for some of those days, so I will update the closed days in the next week or two.

The kids did a great job at the Christmas program.  If anyone has any pictures they'd like to share with me, I'd love that!  Feel free to send them to me via text or email!

We will be celebrating Mackenzie's 3rd birthday on Wednesday!
