Mini Matador!

Here is an update from my teachers at school! We are having so much fun!

Mini Matador Update

It’s difficult to believe we are already halfway through our summer program! Sarah and I have had so much fun being with your children and watching them explore, play and enjoy themselves. We feel the kids have adjusted so well to our classroom, and we look forward to the next three weeks of fun together.

Over the last two weeks, we have explored with shaving cream, splashed in water, taken care of our baby dolls, practiced putting lotion on our bodies, explored with containers and boxes, built with blocks (and knocked them over!), watched birds from the portico, cooked and stirred in the kitchen center, practiced putting on socks and shoes, celebrated the days with music and dance parties, and vacuumed the carpet again and again! And these are just a few examples of what keeps our tiny friends busy throughout their time here.

We have also welcomed 16 lab students into our classroom – they are doing a wonderful job and Sarah and I love watching them enjoy themselves as they get to know and interact with your children. Always feel free to introduce yourself and talk with them as you drop off/pick up.

And the sensory experience that remains to be most popular is…drum roll…WATER! All things water! In addition to splashing and playing on Fridays, we have also washed our cars, washed the baby dolls, and played in the sprinklers on the playground. The kids have a blast with water!

A water/mud experience occurred spontaneously when we came outside to find the sprinklers on! Many of our friends enjoyed the water first-hand, while a few looked on from a drier location:

(we eventually just 86ed the clothes!)

Mommy is so impressed by this! I am sitting on my own chair at the table. Still lack of spoon (it is there though), but getting there!
