NOVEMBER Newsletter

Oh dear, look at the date!

I apologize for my lack of blog entries in the last month. There are a couple of reasons I was SO SLOW this month (besides the obvious reason of moving) mainly that this site builder has informed me that I have uplaoded as many photos as I am allowed. I thought about shrinking all my photos and deleting some unneccessary ones, but the file manager isn't very user friendly. SO I am looking at a blogger page and should have that up and going in the new year.

In anycase, I can give you a little update, boring though it may be without any beautiful pictures of the little darlings.

On November 9th we welcomed a new little munchkin into the group: her name is Sophie, she is 2 years old and is setting a great example in language and communication skills for the rest of the toddlers (I used to call them the babies, I guess I will have to give that up)!

It was also our first open day after the big move, and everyone adjusted VERY VERY well. Don't worry, we won't move again for awhile.

We have still been attending our usual Tuesday playgroup and Wednesday storytime, and getting out as much as possible while the days are still not too cold. Sorry about the muddy clothes. The walk to Amelia's new school is quite a hike, but so far everyone is being a good sport. We are looking at a different weekely routine to be starting after the holidays.

We just finished our "Head, shoulders, knees and toes" theme, which we finished by tracing our bodies on big paper. We also learned a new verse to the song which makes everyone laugh: "Head, shoulders, tummies and bums, eyes, ears, fingers and thumbs!"

This week we started a theme on colours and in a couple weeks we will start looking at winter holidays. If you have any holiday traditons you would like to share, please let me know!

Please note that I will be closed Thursday December 24th which is not a stat holiday, so ne fees will be due this day. I will also be closed on Friday December 25th which is a stat holiday, so your fees will apply if you usually come on this day.

Please make sure your children have enough outdoor clothing so that they will be comfortable outdoors for about an hour. Obviuosly if the weather is very wet, cold or windy we will not spend very time outside. However, we do like to have at least one extended outdoor play everyday, even if it is muddy--splashpants are great!
