Toddler Room #1
It is April and the weather is getting nicer and allowing us to go outside more and more. We had fun last month talking about pets and the children have really enjoyed looking at all their friend’s pet pictures on the wall and learning about the different kinds of pets.
This month we will be learning about Spring. We will focus on spring animals, the weather, and bugs. We will also continue to work on colour and shape recognition.
With the nicer weather approaching everyone is starting to become more active. Here are some great ways to get moving outdoors:
– Go for a walk and go to a park
– Go puddle jumping
– Play with bubbles
– Pass or kick a ball back and forth
Because of the weather getting warmer, our outdoor clothing will also be changing. Please remember to label all your child’s clothing.
Just a reminder that we will be closed Friday, April 18th for Good Friday as well as Monday, April 21st for Easter Monday. We hope everyone will enjoy their long weekend.
Toddler Room #2
Welcome April! We are looking forward to the spring weather. During this past month we focused on learning our colours, music, St. Patrick’s Day, and feelings. While learning about different instruments, the toddlers had so much fun learning how to play them and having dance parties. Over the week of March 17th, the toddlers dressed up in green and enjoyed singing five little leprechauns, going on a four leaf clover hunt, and finding the gold coin hidden under different coloured pots. The toddlers have recently started identifying their feelings and taking initiative to lend a helping hand to their friends. To encourage these amazing new skills, we began discussing emotions during circle and creative experiences.
During the month of April, we also want to focus on encouraging self-help skills, such as feeding oneself with a spoon, taking off shoes, and attempting to put them on independently.
As we move into April our topics will change to celebrating Easter and playing fun themed games, such as having egg hunts and learning about the Easter bunny. We are excited to see where the toddlers’ interests take us next.
Gentle reminder we will be closed on Friday, April 18th for Good Friday and Monday, April 21st for Easter Monday. Happy Easter, enjoy your holiday!
