Week of Nov. 26- Nov. 30

I hope everyone had a fabulous Thanksgiving with their family and friends!  We had a lazy, relaxing weekend around home!  Started our Christmas decorating, played some board games and caught up on some movies and sleep!

This week we are back into the routine of thing here at daycare!  The kids were excited to go out in the snow, though there wasn't much left to play in come Monday afternoon!  They still had fun, though.  I am glad most of them had snowpants, hats and mittens.  It is cold out there, so be sure to send with appropriate outerwear for your kids since we do try to get out everyday as long as it is 20 degrees or higher.  Continue working with them at home with getting all their gear on!  We sing a little song about the order we should put our stuff on- snowpants, jacket, hats, boot and mittens!

We will be finishing off our On the Go theme this week and then moving onto our Winter them next week, and of course a lot of Christmas activities and crafts!  They are all general holiday based, and non-religious.  We will also be doing our annual Christmas program for the parents on Dec. 21st @ 4:30.  More details to follow in the coming week or two!

THURSDAY IS SHOW AND TELL!  There will be no theme to this one, so the kids are welcome to bring anything from home they would like to show their friends.  I do ask that it fit in their cubbies, though!  Thank you!

MENU:
Monday- Grilled Cheese, corn, apples and milk
Tuesday- Beef stroganoff, green beans, applesauce and milk
Wednesday- Chicken patty sandwiches, mixed veggies, pineapple and milk
Thursday- Cheese quesadillas, carrots w/ dip, grapes and milk
Friday- Homemade mac and cheese, baked beans, fruit cocktail and milk

We had a lot of fun visiting the new playground at the park!
New fast slide!!!

















I hope everyone is looking forward to Thanksgiving and the official start of the Holiday season!

Just a reminder that I am closed Thursday and Friday of this week to celebrate with my family!

The kids are excited about getting to see Erin again this week.  She will be here Monday morning and Wednesday afternoon.  Her long term subbing job at Turtle Lake has come to an end since the full time teacher has now returned from maternity leave.  We will be seeing her around much more in December.

Peek a Boo!
This week we will do some Fun Thanksgiving Crafts and be reading some great Thanksgiving stories!

Please continue working with your child on getting their own shoes on, being able to flip their jackets on and getting their thumbs into their mittens!  We will soon be bundling up even more to head out for play time every day and it will go much smoother if everyone has been working on these skills!  Many of the kids are even able to zip their jackets!  WAY TO GO!

Week of Oct. 22- Oct. 26

I hope everyone who took some time off had a great MEA Weekend.  The kids had a lot of fun in Wisconsin Dells and it was as always nice to have a couple days off!

This week we have Travel Tots on Friday at 9am! The kids love their time with Ms. Beth

Next week on Wednesday will be our Halloween Party.  The children may come dressed in their costumes or bring them along and change.  What ever is easiest.  We'll have our Halloween fun in the morning, so EVERYONE should bring clothes to change into by lunch time.  There will be a special Halloween Lunch, some games and of course some candy!

Last week, I booked a trip to celebrate my 30th (EEEEEKK!) birthday in Florida with my brother.  I am in the process of talking with Erin about which of the days she wants to work and which I will use as vacation days.  At this point in the year, I have 5 days left.  I can tell you with 90% certainty, that one will be used on Monday, Dec. 17.  Also, I will be using 2 days between Christmas and New Years to combine with the holidays.  Vacation days will be Dec. 27 and Dec. 28, making me closed from Dec. 24- Jan. 1st.  So that leaves 2 more that may go unused, but I will let you know ASAP.

MENU:
Monday- Peanut butter and Jelly sandwiches, pears, carrots and milk
Tuesday- Cheese omelettes, sausage, fruit cocktail and orange juice
Wednesday- Lasagna Hotdish, corn, peaches and milk
Thursday- Ham and Cheese rollups, mixed veggies, pineapple and milk
Friday- Chicken patty sandwiches, green beans, apples and milk

Week of Oct. 15-19

Sorry for the lack of blog post last week, I have been having many issues with this site and my home internet in general...trying to de bug it, but also looking at other options!  Working on a real website with a parent log in portal for pictures and weekly updates/reminders!

This week we have a fun week planned.  Tuesday is Pajama Day!  So come dressed in your night time best and bring your favorite stuffed animal or blankie to cuddle with during our slumber party!!!

Friday we have music class with Tasha!  We will not see her again until December after she has baby#2 and returns from maternity leave!

YES I AM OPEN THURSDAY AND FRIDAY!  I know most of you thought I was closed since that is what it said on my holiday/personal day list...but apparently that is not the copy that got saved to my computer, so when I checked it, MEA did not show up as time off!  So you are in luck!  Erin will be here from noon on Thursday through Friday at daycare close!  We are heading out to Wisconsin Dells with some friends and their kids for a fun weekend away!  IF YOU ARE GOING TO BE GONE, please let me know so that I can tell Erin a correct head count!  Thanks!

MENU:
Monday- Chicken nuggets, carrots, apples and milk
Tuesday- Pigs in a Blanket, green beans, peaches and milk
Wednesday- Pizza, pineapple and milk
Thursday- Tuna Hot Dish, mixed veggies, pears and milk
Friday- Sloppy Joes, applesauce, corn and milk
