Little Seeds – Toddler News
November 2009
Dear Little Seeds parents,
We have spent the last few weeks getting to know your children, and letting them get to know us. We have been busy exploring our class space and beautiful playground.
We are all making friends while enjoying our water play, block building, endless gluing, and eating our yummy lunches together. Already, we are learning to take turns and value other people’s space.
One of the biggest challenges for preschoolers is learning to trust adults outside the family. They learn that the caregivers whom they are with part of their day are both similar to, and distinct from, their parents. Also important during the preschool years is learning how to interact with other children and develop positive friendships.
Whether with words, movement, paint, playdough, dramatic play, or manipulation of objects such as blocks or dolls, children’s growing ability to express ideas and feelings by using symbolic representation is an important milestone of the preschool years.
We love our open-ended table. Please take a second at the end of our day to come by and look at the work your children have created together throughout their day. Remember, at this age the value of a project is more in the process than in the product.
We are all enjoying our Tuesday and Thursday mornings so much. We are looking forward to each and every day that we get to spend with your little one. Thank you for trusting us with their mental and physical well being.
House keeping:
~Please remember to dress your child in clothes that they can get dirty in.
~Check your child’s box: Keep up on their supplies of extra clothes, socks, diapers, and wipes.
~Always remember to sign your child in/out.
~Remember to always trust that your child will be safe and have lots of learning fun while with us.
Sincerely, Mrs. Peakes and Mrs. Weston
