Just a quick reminder that we are closed all week next week and will be open again on Monday August 29th. As many of you already know, I have hired an assistant to start helping out in the mornings so we can be more consistent with our preschool times and our morning routine. Jessie has been a family friend for over 20 years and has worked with children for over a decade. She came from a center and has been a nanny for many years. She will be here in the mornings 4 days a week. I am confident that the kids will all love her.
It has been a very busy week and I am so sorry I have not kept up with the blog this week. We have been talking about the alphabet and have been playing alphabet games and going on word hunts. We made alphabet art projects and practiced writing the letters W, X and Y. We baked banana bread and on Wednesday Brad had the kids from 10 am until closing. They had a pizza party and made alphabet books and spent lots of time outside. The weather has been great this week so we have been able to go outside both in the morning and in the afternoons which has done wonders for the kids. That fresh air really wears them out!
