CHEERFUL CHIMPMUNKS
September News
August recap...
August was a fun filled, crazy month. With beautiful weather and very little rain, we spent as much time outside as possible. We even made our own bubble solution and wands to practice blowing bubbles. This is a skill that was new to many of the chipmunk friends, which is understandable when you consider up to this point the majority of there experiences have been about learning to suck out of things (bottles, sippy cups, nuks and straws). It was fun to see the look of satisfaction on their face when they finally figured it out and made a big bubble. Of course we probably had a lot of bubbles that went in the tummy that day as well.
We also talked a lot this month about animals who live in the zoo and jungle. The gorilla seemed to be one of our favorites.
Lastly... who could forget the wonderful time we all had at the Milestones family picnic. It was so nice to be able to see so many friends and family. Hope you all had a great time!
What's Happening Next?
Can you believe September is already here, where did the summer go?
This month will be a bit of a transition for us in the Chipmunk room as we will be sending 4 of our friends on to the squirrel room. We will miss them all very much, but we know they will have a great time with Miss Jennifer and Mr. Mark. In the Chipmunk room we will be welcoming 3 friends from the Ladybug room and 2 friends who will be returning from the summer. We plan to spend a great deal of time learning about each other and how to live as friends in the chipmunk room.
We will also spend a little time talking about apples, trees and early signs of fall. We have some very fun activities planned, so keep an eye on our room.
MILESTONES WILL BE CLOSED MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 2 ... HAVE A SUPER LABOR DAY!
FAMILY ASSIGNMENT
From time to time we ask parents to bring or send in pictures of your family doing something special. This month we would like you to bring in 2 - 4 pictures that answer this question...
HOW DOES YOUR FAMILY PLAY TOGETHER OUTSIDE?
(this could be in your yard, at the park, on vacation, anything that you do together outside)
These pictures will be displayed in our classroom for all of our children to enjoy. The children are quite proud of these pictures and we always like to make sure everyone has something to share, so please try to find time to snap a few pictures and bring them in.
Please bring your pictures in or email them to admin@reachingmilestones.org no later than MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 9.
