Greetings families,
During the month of May, the theme will be Mother’s Day, flowers and insects. We hope you all continue to do fun and creative projects to help your child develop their fine motor skills. It is important to take a few moments to play outdoors to get some fresh air and develop your child’s gross motor skills and curiosity.
Best wishes,
Infant/Toddler Teachers
Hello families,
This week we will continue with the alphabets and focus on the letters E, F and G. Thank you for your feedback about the kind of activities you enjoy doing with your child. I provided sensory and arts and crafts activities that are related to spring.

Sorting cereal by color
Hello families,
I have chosen a few fun and colorful activities in celebrating Easter for you to do with your child and to keep him/her busy. Your child can learn about colors and shapes while using their senses. They will definitely enjoy eating and making bunny shaped pancakes for breakfast and most of all an Easter egg hunt in the dark.
Best wishes,
Ms. An
This week we are focusing on the alphabets (A to D). Here are four different activities that include art, sensory and gross motor skills for your child to enjoy.
"A" is for apple
"C" us for circle
Here are some fun activities that you can enjoy with your child during this difficult time. I chose five activities from Pinterest that would be convenient and accessible around your home. Also, I listed a few songs that your child loves to sing and listen to during circle time. Please read any age appropriate books to your child and show flash cards as well during circle time.
To gather the children for circle time, teachers sing (two or three times)
Make a circle, make a circle
Make it round, make it round
Gather up together, gather up together
Please sit down, please sit down
(Sit down with your child)

Good morning friends how are you? Just fine!

“Baby Bumble bee”
Lyrics:
Make a buzzing sound multiple times and make it land on your child and family members. Then close your hands like you have the bee in them
I’m bringing home my baby bumble bee
Won’t my mommy be so proud of me
I’m bringing home my baby bumble bee
Ouch! It stung me! /Open hands up and look surprised
Squish your hands together as if you’re mashing the bee
I’m smashing up my baby bumble bee
Won’t my mommy be so proud of me
I’m smashing up my baby bumble bee
Ew! It’s all over me! / Open hands up and look disgusted
Wipe your hands on your lap as you sing
I'm wiping off my baby bumble bee
Won’t my mommy be so proud of me
I’m wiping off my baby bumble bee
Ew! It’s still there! / Open hands and place it in front of your mouth
Stick your tongue out and pretend your licking your hands from a distance
Ahh ahh ahh ahh ahh ahh ahh ahh ahh
Ahh ahh ahh ahh ahh ahh ahh ahh ahh
Ahh ahh ahh ahh ahh ahh ahh ahh ahh
Now I'm all clean! Yay!
For nap time teachers play "Spa music" or "Lullaby music" on Alexa
