Next Week

We had a great time this week doing the Tooty Ta and welcoming each other in a foreign language. (Jambo!)  We are getting parents AND kids dancing and singing now!  What fun!  This week's infant craft was making eye candy cards.  They are cards with bold black designs against white.  They are wonderful for eye and brain development!  Next week watch for the Baby Baggie Book!  All familes are asked to bring a family picture.  If you are the parent of an infant - 12 month old, please bring 5-6 pictures to make a fun baggie book that will stand up to the drool!  All children will be drawing a family picture to display in the hallway!

Butterflies!

We saw caterpillars turn into chrysalides and then watched as the chrysalides changed in color to reveal the butterfly inside.  After about 10 days, we got to see the butterflies emerge from their chrysalides!  It was very exciting for everyone!  Check out the pictures we got of the butterfly emerging!

A New Year Begins!

We will be starting a new year in ECFE starting on September 12!  We will have classes on Monday and Tuesday evenings from 5:30-7:00pm and on Wednesday and Friday mornings from 9:00 - 10:30am.  Everyone is welcome to join us!  I'm very excited that our Para Janda will be back with us again this year!  We have some fun activities planned!  Some new additions to our class will be specific crafts for parents of infants to do every week and a science exploration time!  The older kiddos will be keeping a "journal" of their experiences with science!  We are all so excited to start!  I can't wait to see you all again!

No Picnic

We will not be having an organized ECFE potluck on Thursday night.  If you would like to get together at the park, that would be wonderful.
