Today our little chefs made their own carrot patches. At group time we read Just Enough Carrots by Stuart Murphy. Then we scooped hummus into a cup, added some carrots, dropped it in a pot and created a carrot patch! The boys and girls all seem to love carrots and were excited to take their treats home. Enjoy!
The boys and girls had some much fun during music week! They we able to explore and make all new kinds of instruments such as, tissue box guitars, sand paper sticks, water bottle maracas, and tambourines. The children had a blast jamming with Ms. Joanie and her guitar all week!

Thank you everyone for over 250 packages of diapers, wipes, and creams. We were able to help so many deserving families in our community. We love to see the children put their lessons of compassion into practice. Way to go everyone!
On our first day of March, the children enjoyed learning about their new center activities. Taking time to teach the boys and girls the correct way to do an activity ensures that they are getting the most out of their learning. We also spent some time outside today working on our listening skills and following directions. The children were delighted to be out in the warm sunshine!
We started off our week on a healthy note! These little chefs really got into the cooking mode while chopping and mixing a delicious Aussie Rice Salad. It wouldn’t be complete without sampling a little taste of our ingredients along the way. Using fresh red peppers, onions, cilantro, corn and peas, the children were able to add more or less of what they liked. This is a recommended recipe to all!
Aussie Rice Salad
-3 cups jasmine rice, cooked
-1/2 cup peas
-1 onion, chopped
-1 small can corn
-1 red pepper, diced
-bacon bits
1/4 cup soy sauce

A new month means new activities in our centers! The children had the opportunity to rotate around the centers to learn the new games and activities. Being able to do the activities properly ensures that the children are learning and practicing the skill the activity is meant to teach/reinforce.
As we usher in a new month, the children have the opportunity to discover new things in our centers. All of our centers have new items, but today we focused on the math, literacy and art centers. Learning how to do new activities is just one more way to practice/learn a skill in a different way.
