 Another Family & Friends day has come & we can’t think of a better way to start the Thanksgiving Holiday.  We are Thankful for all of you for the support you give us teachers & for trusting us with your child. We are Thankful for your children- those amazing phenomenal little people who fill our days with joy, even during their most “toddler moments”. We are Thankful for the incredible culture that exists at HHAI & Giving tree. May you all have a Happy, Blessed, & safe Thanksgiving! Ms. Shelby & Ms. Suzanne

 Ms. Suzanne and I are excited-  We have watched as your littles have grown and played, specifically what  they played with the most-  - and today, we put out all of our most favorite things: Doctor kit, Play-doh, Dinosaurs, Paint Sticks, Hats/Gloves/Socks and the switchboard! Imaginations ran wild as dinosaurs got check-ups, painters enjoyed silly hats, and play-doh was spread everywhere. Today was amazing! We also got to meet Ollie's family, now living in the worm home in our room.  We built a HUGE city in the BMR and, enjoyed tempera paint sticks face paint (some look like they could be in a late 80's music video!)  Essentially, we did our favorite things, in our pajamas- and completed a state standard too! (SS5.1: Demonstrate awareness of citizenship: Identify Preferences)  Thanks for letting us enjoy the paint sticks! -Shelby

 Such a short week!  We are not doing any new explorations until next week, so today & tomorrow are "favorites" days.   We played with the electronic board & our fav toys in the room, went to gym & the Grove, and did some painting with the tempera sticks. We are also learning responsibility of taking off our own coats & putting them in the cubbies.  All in all, a satisfying day! Have a wonderful Monday!
