September News 2016



This month we are working on transitioning the children to their new daily routines in the Toddler Room.  There are a lot of new things to explore here, and the daily routines will be a bit different than in the infant room yet we will keep your toddlers very busy and loving every minute of it!

                          This month with our creative curriculum we will be working on:

Following simple directions

Using gross motor skills through outdoor play, and

Using our fingers and hands to help develop our fine motor skills

We will also be learning about vegetables, bugs and nature.  I look forward to the fall weather, and taking the children on nature hunts!

DONATIONS NEEDED:
1 bag of potatoes (by Sept. 12th)
2 bags of whole carrots with tops (by Sept. 12th)

You may drop them off to the Toddler classroom before the dates needed.

In the toddler room we LOVE to read books!  Each month I will place a scholastic flier in your child's cubby.  You will then place your orders ONLINE.  It's simple once you get started!  There are millions of books for ALL AGES for you to purchase.  We also have a classroom wish list online as well.  If you feel led, donate at any time!  Thank you in advance for giving us the joy of reading new books!  All you need to do is go online to www.scholastic.com and set your code to H4NRH (it will say Miss Kelly Van Hook's classroom)
Then just add books to your cart and wait for the new books to arrive!  It usually takes about a week after me placing the orders, for them to arrive to us.
Books order are due by 10am on September 23rd.

 to Alyvia on September 7th!


Just a few more reminders:
Please remember to label ALL of your child's items.  Shoes, clothing, hats, coats, etc.
Each child is responsible for bringing in a package of unscented, sensitive brand wipes EACH MONTH.
                                            Looking forward to a great month ahead!

Glow sticks & Campfires!


                      This morning we made "campfires" with crayons, markers, and painted hands!




 Can you guess what project we have for tomorrow?  Let me know if you need S'more hints...!


We had a blast with our glow sticks!  We sat in the tent and sang this little light of mine,
and played with our glow sticks. The children thought they were pretty awesome!

and no, Audrey's glow stick was not IN her nose...she wanted to smell it...!




                                   

                                          Raegan decided to see if she could see it through her shirt!

Johnny loved his blue glow stick :)

                           Andrew and Hattie were having fun doing some "toe tricks" with them!
 
                 We were experiementing to see if the glow sticks would sink or float in water...


Caelen LOVED the glowing colors in the dark classroom!

Welcome Joyful Noise Toddler Campers!

Our toddlers are camping this week!  They love hanging out in the tent Miss Angel brought in for us, and using Miss Kelly's sleeping bags! 

This week we will be doing some camping crafts, experimenting  with glow sticks, and singing camping songs around our little "campfire".  Stay tuned for S'more camping photos later in the week! :)
