First Day Of Fall 2010

Well our summer time is over.. We had a awesome summer here at ABC, we had old friends leave to go to school and new friends arrive taking their places. We are enjoying getting aquainted with our new friends and starting a new school year for ourselves. Summer is over and Fall is officially here. I love what each season brings for us. It is always special, and brings in lots of new fun crafts and learning experiences. Yesturday we went on our fun nature hike and found some awesome items to make our collage with. Now hanging on our wall by the science center. We will be talking about the leaves changing colors and falling from the branches,
Along with the squirals and nuts we are sharing this week.  A good holliday season ahead. I am so excited and looking forward to Holloween, Thanksgiving and Christmas. Hot Choco, warm blankets and snow !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!. And yes when Spring arrives I will be ready!!

Quote for the day: By Tanner, "Do you know what frisky means? when your getting all excited."

Fun time painting with are brushes and dobbers. Lots of pretty painting going on here, the kids are starting to take a lot of pride in their paintings., Its so exciting to see what comes next.....

Awesome weather outside for some bubbles and play time.

While we were out the street cleaner happened to come by, how exciting getting to see the big brushes underneath. Two men were in the truck. They waved and honked their horn for us.! yah, we got attention.....

Calender Time

This morning we started out on a nature hike. We picket up items and made a collage. It was alot of fun collecting pine cones, needles, leaves, rock and branches.

After our nature hike we helped Ms. Kathy unload a bunch of groceries. We had a lot of good muscle work.

And then some hide and seek tag. Big Garfield was a big item to hide behind., I think Skyler was the tagger here.

Some rest time on the swing, Michelle found some pretty flowers to pick.

Ms. Amber was helping with calender and songs this morning. Amber is a big helper in between classes at North Ark.

Some Side Walk Chalk is so much fun to draw with outside., What a pretty day outside for all this wonderful play.

This is Arianna on the right she comes after school with her sister and she is having a fun time playing with the play dough.  The picture to the left is Lauren. She has been coming to ABC for a long time, but left this fall for kindergarten.  She handed out birthday invitations to some old friends, Her party is at Mc Donalds 9/25@1pm.

Pretty art work by Morgan, she loves drawing for ms sheryll and making me really cute cards and notes. She is my big helper in the evening,. I love you Morgan !!!

This is our new boy, his name is Kaidon and he is 3 yrs old. He has adjusted really well. He loves preschool and playing with the other kids. Along with him reading in the book center is Michelle.

Just having a good time playing with each other with alot of different play games at the table. Lots of fun with our friends.

On the left Madison is having a great time playing with blocks. And to the right is baby Ezekiel, what a wonderful smile...

And what about these cats. Garfield and patches just hanging out front. Patches loves laying around the yard right there beside the big cat... cracks me up....

Today we are making a new friend. Kaidon has joined us here at ABC. He is 3 years old and loves his new friends here.

Today in the reading area I found a Bumble Bee a Giraffe and a Zebra, I'm so glad they took the time out to read a book in the reading center.

THE LUCKY BUNCH !!!!!!
These guys LOVE the new day care rule. If you are 4 yrs old or older our rest time is 30 minutes of quite time on our mats. Then we are filling the rest of rest time with quite play like puzzles, coloring, baking cookies, and games. If they find that they want to just rest or sleep this is their choise. Wow this week they keep saying "Ms Sheryll your the bestest" How sweet!!!. Tanner was explaining to them at the breakfast table this morning that sometimes your body needs to recharge to get entergy. So sometimes we need to rest. How cute was that....Like the entergizer bunny!

Fire Truck

Fire Truck is coming on Thursday Sept 29th. at 9 AM Be here!!!
Friday Sept 17 I will be passing out a Monthly Flyer and A Monthly Menu so you will have a idea of what your child eats daily...

Who is up for a game of Duck Duck Goose !!!. This is a good learning game on how to take turns and matching colors. Kade, Tanner and Brooklyn had a blast playing

Lots of things to learn for the little guy watching on. Chandler has learned how to play the game by watching his bigger friends play

Lots of ways to work on learning to match numbers. By recognition, alot with counting objects to make sure your right. Great learning game that Brooklyn is playing. She can turn the numbers over and they have counting objects that help her learn her numbers.

This is our new pet in our classroom. A miniture hampster. We chose to call him Hammie. We are going to find him a friend soon, but started out today with just one. We had alot of fun getting his cage ready and letting him run in it. He has to go upstairs for his food and water and was having fun playing in both as soon as he found it. We had alot of fun with Hammie today.

Brayden had the honors of releasing Hammie into his cage today. Hammie hung on to the orange ball with his toes so we did have a little trouble getting him in at first. So cute......

Now all settled in Hammie is having fun exploring his new home... Tanner and Brayden will be the ones with the chore of making sure Hammie has food and water daily. So we will all have the responsibility of reminding them. So Much Fun With Our New School Mate....

Our last visit to the library for some new stories, Kara took the time to sit with Killian my grandbaby and she read him a book. Amazing how small the babies are and how interrested they are in books. I love it.... Goofing in the reading area at home Micheal likes hanging out playing with his feet...What a way to spend some time.. just chillin.

Practicing with scissors is so much fun, they are just cutting away and having a good time of it. Good hand motor skills are being practiced here.
