"We're All Friends Here"

“We’re all friends here,” Alex told Yuri when she entered our classroom during story time for her first day. He handed her a book and patted her on the back.
Alex could not be more correct. We are all friends here and our amount of friends increased by two this week. Yuri and Bryce became our newest Big Bird Buddies, but not for long. We are excited to announce that Elliott will join us next week. The more the merrier!
Our new friends received letter links. Letter links are pictures of common objects that correspond with the beginning sound of the children’s names and are used to help them learn to identify their names; Bryce broccoli, Yuri yoyo, and Elliott elephant. They will also use these to recognize their diaper drawers, cubbies, and artwork. Our new friends have begun potty training with us (Elliott is already well on his way!). We will focus on their awareness and frequent visits to the bathroom.
We are pleased to have them in our room and we are ready to help them grow, learn, and succeed.

Reminder: We are having a Summer Picnic this Friday. Please send only cold lunches with your child, as we do not want them trying to eat anything hot on a blanket. Thank you!

Happy Birthday Ms. Lois on Friday!

~Ms. Jolene and Ms. Lois
