Ahh, the start to a new calendar year. Everyone seems to have grown so much over break. All the children wanted to chat about their goings ons over the holiday break (and chat and chat and chat). We have started a new center-time system. Some children were okay with the difference and some really wanted the old way back. Your children are divided in to four "families" that rotate together through the center choices. Each day they will have two choices, one active and one less so. They are not grouped academically but socially (social growth is a major goal for our preschool year). Each day the choices rotate so everyone has a chance to play in each area and I have a chance to work with individuals on an as needed basis. We will have Free Fridays when center choice is individually chosen.
Tomorrow there will be a visiting Hartford firefighter in our room to talk about Fire Safety. I'm sure your children will come home with all kinds of new information.
Great to see everyone again.
