First of all, Thank You!! Thank you for bringing your amazing children to me. :) Thank you for making Valentine's and treat bags, and bringing cupcakes and flowers! We have had a wonderful time celebrating Valentine's, and your children are truly pure love and joy. They teach me about love, kindness and friendship daily. Hearing the children communicate so beautifully melts my heart. Words such as, "I can help you with that", "here is a toy for you to play with!", "Are you Ok?" are common place. Wow! What kind and caring kids! This month we have focused on the letter P, Q, R, and will finish the last two weeks with S and T. We have also focused on the numbers 12, 13, 14 and will finish the month with 15 and 16. We will continue with our topic of Feelings and use it as a basis for how we recognize our feelings and appropriately act on them. Topics include: feeling angry, afraid, sad, jealous, needing attention, saying no, being helpful. We have had lots of fun with pretty Valentines art, and will will finish off the month exploring color and texture. For the week of the 18th to the 22, We will have Rainbow Days! Your child is welcome to come dressed in their favorite color or colors.
This month we have also begun exploring the idea of mail. The children have made valentines and used envelopes.
We will be setting up a postal system in which the children can create and deliver mail to their classmates. We will continue with our Helper of the Day, and it would be great for the kids to begin bringing a Show and Tell item from home. This is a great way for a child to develop speaking and listening skills. I won't set up a schedule, as I think that this is much more valuable to a child when they have chosen something to share on their own, without any pressure to do so. This activity will help us to get to know what is meaningful to each child in our group.
I just posted some new photos on our facebook page. Enjoy!
I began this blog to help families to get to know me and have a place to share information.
About Me
- Judy
- I am a Licensed Early Childhood Educator and Professional Ballet Teacher. Over the past 20 years I have taught preschool,daycare, managed my own LNR Family Daycare, and worked in private homes as a Nanny. My newest adventure is opening a Licensed In-Home Multi-Age Childcare. I have now opened Judy's Little Gems. Having a Licensed Childcare Facility in my home is so rewarding. Each day is brand new and exciting for both myself and the children! The word Nanny is very special to me. My British grandmother asked her grandchildren to call her Nanny. I hope to build great memories and relationships with children and families in my role as Nanny; just as my grandmother did.
