Back to blogging

Wow....time goes by fast!  By looking at the last blog post, it has been a while.  The second half of the year is super busy but I will do my best to keep the blog up to date.

This week the preschoolers are learning about nutrition, food groups, and ways to keep their body healthy.  Letter Xx is our letter of the week and our number is 8.

This Friday is our next Family Fun Friday.  If you did not turn in a permission slip, you will need to sign one at Sky Zone when you arrive.  Please arrive at Sky Zone by 10:15 so we can get started at 10:30.

LOVE IS IN THE AIR

February is Dental Health month.  This week we are learning about the letter T and ways we can keep our teeth healthy!

Rockside Dental will be visiting our classroom on Thursday.  The dentist will be doing some activities with the kids to show them how to brush their teeth and things they can do to keep their smile bright!

SKY ZONE:  INDOOR TRAMPOLINE PARK

Friday, March 14^th, 2014

WHAT IS SKY ZONE?

Imagine a seemingly endless sea of trampolines, all connected to form one massive trampoline surface. Now, imagine that surface enclosed with angled trampolines that allow you to literally bounce off the walls! These patented, all-trampoline, walled playing courts are the foundation of Sky Zone Indoor Park since we opened our first location in 2004. It's a playing court that is both original and unique!  Check out the website:  http://www.skyzone.com/westlake

Teddy Bear Week

This is Teddy Bear Week at Preschool!

Tuesday is our Teddy Bear Picnic.  Parent helpers are asked to go directly to the CAFETERIA at 10:00/1:45.  Please send a bear with your child to school.  If you forget, I have extras but I am sure they would rather have their own special bear. 

There are so many great bear stories that it was hard to choose just a few to read this week. Karma Wilson has a series of "Bear" books that the kids love including Old Bear, Bear Feels Sick, and Bear Feels Scared.  

Here are some bear songs that we are learning:
You are My Teddy Bear (sung to "You Are My Sunshine")
You are my teddy bear
My only teddy bear
You make me smile dear
You are my friend
You'll never know dear
How much I like you
I'm so glad you're my
Teddy Bear today.

Bear song (sung to "Row, Row, Row Your Boat")
Hug, hug, hug your bear
Squeeze him very tight
Hold him high
Help him fly
Then hug with all your might.

Teddy Bear, Teddy Bear (sung to "Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star")
Teddy bear, teddy bear, turn around,
Teddy bear, teddy bear, touch the ground.
Teddy bear, teddy bear, reach up high,
Teddy bear, teddy bear, touch the sky.
Teddy bear, teddy bear, touch your shoe,
Teddy bear, teddy bear, I love you!

HAPPY 1/2 BIRTHDAYS TO LUKE & DJ THIS WEEK!
