Family surveys

What do you enjoy doing with your family? A couple weeks ago Ms. Lois and Ms. Jolene sent a “family favorites survey” with our Big Bird Buddies. We have received several of them back and we are waiting for just a few more. It has been so fun to get to know each of our families a bit better and of course the children feel great having their own family pictures to look at while away at child care.

Every day the children laugh, point at the pictures, and name each of their family members in the photos. Today at choice time Gabbi laughed and pointed at her creation, then excitedly announced, “Mommy! Daddy! Carter! Sissy!”

One of the family survey questions asked about what was the family's favorite indoor activities. Ms. Lois responded to the question with, “watching movies and watching birds in the bird feeder.” Ms. Jolene said, “playing cards and reading.” Some of our other friends have said that they loved to do silly things to make each other laugh, play with toys, make puzzles, and read.

The survey is definitely helping us to become better friends with each other. It is so fun to learn about what each of our very unique families is like and it helps the children start learning about diversity in families. So, what is your favorite indoor activity?
