4-16-12 : Fun and Fantasy : It seems like this week is redundant. I mean, children live in a fantasy world most of the time, right? Pretend play is an important part of a child's life, and one that generally gets overlooked in today's 'plugged-in' society. Playing a fantasy game on a computer is not the same as making up the story on your own, and following through with a group of your peers. This week we will be purposefully instigating pretend play to foster their recognition of reality vs. fantasy, to encourage them to recall a plot, and to have them solve pretend problems. And we will have fun doing it!

NURSERY RHYMES: Do you remember your favorite nursery rhyme? Can you close your eyes and still see the illustration that went with it? Rhyme is an important part of pre-reading. I encourage you to share that favorite nursery rhyme with your child this week!

The summer flyer is ready to send out! You can get a sneak-peek at it on the website, http://www.readysetgrowbountiful.com/.
When you pick up your official copy, be sure to take extras for your child's friends! Summer is always better when you share it with friends!
(Plus, when a friend enrolls, you get $200 off your tuition!)

Spring is in the air! This week we have been talking about baby animals and enjoying the sunshine after the minor weather slip on Monday. I hope you are soaking up some sunshine in your life. If you need an extra smile or ten, stop in and say hello. We have lots of eager happy faces here!

Transportation is the theme of the week, and I managed to get some pictures of the preschoolers and kindergartners making their "box" cars.     :D



Custom painting takes some time.

Miss Chris helped a lot.




Can't you just hear him saying, "Mine is gonna go FAST!"



Miss Alicia adds the 'custom' license plate.



They were so happy with their work.



 










Time for a test drive.
