Kids in the Kitchen!

We tried making peach smoothies Friday afternoon and we would have but my blender was not working so now I'm currently looking for a new one to purchase. Although, they still enjoyed eating them from their containers they were just a little soupy!\

NOURISHING CREATIVITY

"Life is a great big canvas, throw all the paint you can on it."

Today we painted rocks we gathered up from yesterday, they had so much fun that we added in sticks to paint as well!

So I've been waiting 10 days for my shutterfly pictures to arrive that were taken with my iphone, I received them today and I'm highly disappointed by the quality. So from now on I guess I'll be printing them myself on my printer.. so frustrating! With that being said please check our folders tonight for many extra pictures, and don't forget to check out our photo wall. I'll update it again in April :)

Car Painting

This group is ALL about cars these days! So this morning, we did some painting with them. Car track painting was a hit! They rolled and rolled and rolled their cars.

Next we had a "car wash!" :)

We headed outside this morning and almost blew away trying to find our rocks. Tomorrow we will paint the rocks we found.

We always have so much fun playing outside. There is so much to explore in the backyard!

March Newsletter

Becky’s Blessings Childcare

March, 2016

Dear Families,

It’s that time of year when everyone wears green and has a touch of “Spring Fever!” Hopefully, we will continue to experience some springtime weather, which will allow us to go outside to play in the fresh air for longer periods of time. We really look forward to going to Sunrise Park and playing on the big playground.

Happy Birthday to Micah, who will turn 2 this month! We will celebrate with a birthday party and cupcakes. Our themes for this month are Dr. Seuss, Transportation, Green, and Springtime. We had fun making Dr. Seuss crafts and reading many books like Hop on Pop, Dr. Brown Can Moo and Green Eggs and Ham. For Transportation week we will be making some cute footprint cars, driving in paint, and playing with our new CAT Dump trucks. We will celebrate St. Patrick’s Day week by wearing green and taking our Leprechaun pictures with funny hats. For Spring time, we will talk about baby animals, the weather, and gardening.

The new Zoo phonic letters we are working are include: Inny Inchworm (i), Vinnie Vampire Bat (V), Yancy Yak (y), and Zeke Zebra (z). Towards the end of March the remaining Zoo Phonics characters and their sounds will be introduced: Catina Cat (c/s), Ellie Elephant (e), Gordo Gorilla (g/j), Ollie Octopus (o), Umber Umbrella Bird (u), and Xavier Fox (x).

 As we get closer to March 17, we will be learning lots about those mischievous little guys, the leprechauns! One of the best things about leprechauns, besides finding their pots of gold, are rainbows! We will be doing lots of activities exploring all the colors of the rainbow. We will use the rainbow parachute to make our mini balls go up and down, make a fizzy rainbow, and make handprint rainbows.  To celebrate the green of Ireland we will make cool clover paintings and make silly green hats to wear during our St. Patrick’s Day Party! At our party, we will try green food and rainbow sherbet.

We will be working on some new finger plays this month which include: “The Color Song” and “Head, Shoulders, Knees and Toes.” For our quiet time of the day, which is right before we go down for our nap we will be reading some new books, including “Goodnight Baby Animals”, “Eating the Alphabet,” and many Dr. Seuss books. They love books, and I love to read to them!

Painting with Water Colors

I love painting with water colors, it reminds me of spring time. We will be this activity almost every week!

Watercolors are wonderful for learning about color mixing!

 Our finished masterpieces!

I finally posted our felt board onto the wall. I'm excited to bring out some of my new felt stories to share with the kiddos!
