Happy Thursday everyone!

Today we were fortunate with very warm weather which the children enjoyed being outside being able to go outside again at the end of the day.

"We need more dry dirt!" -Sidney G.

In the Maple room children looked over past pictures of structures and ramps and recreated it with others in the classroom.

"I'm gonna make this ramp again, I really liked it!" -Mitchell

"Oh, it fell.. but that's okay we can build it again." -Mark

"The car can go down this ramp!" -Vance

In the hallway children discovered different types of instruments where they pretend to have a parade as well as making up different songs with the bells and drums.

"It is called a cowbell because the instrument is shaped like it's horns see?" -Lysander

Have a wonderful weekend and remember Monday and Tuesday are the only days the children come to the CDLL!

Happy Tuesday Everyone,

Today was our field trip to the Discovery Museum.  All the CDLL children, teachers, and families had a great time during our three hours there.  We're going to let the following pictures show you what our trip was all about.

When we returned from the field trip, we enjoyed a nice rest time and had very short centers before going outside for the rest of the afternoon.  Many children played hide and seek as well as tag with their teachers.

Happy Monday!

Happy Monday!

Today was a busy day back at school!

In the Walnut Room, the children experimented with clean mud in the sensory tables. They also created mabel tracks.

In the Oak Room, the children had a blast playing with the shaving cream. They also created jewelry and experimented with the sponge paint.

In the Maple Room, the children built train tracks for the colorful trains, and played with the clear plastic shapes on the light table.

In the Pine Room, the children played with the cardboard car, went camping and played with the babies!

In the hallway, the children played with the black light creating pictures in the dark.

Outside the children were busy playing with ice, going down the slides and riding bikes.

Reminder- tomorrow is the field trip to the Discovery Museum. We are going to be leaving at 9:15 AM.

Hi Families and Friends!

Today at school we had a lot going on! In the kitchen some CMU students came in and showed the children how to make play-doh out of oatmeal. 

In the indoor movement room the children did yoga in the morning and did gymnastics tumbling in the afternoon!

The hallway was a busy place too! Under the black light the children liked to look at their glowing clothes and at all of the highlighter drawings that they have done. 

"Look, my shirts glowing" -Remy

They also had a traveling band in the hallway today!

 

In the Walnut room the kids used the rulers to make shapes and to draw straight lines on their papers.They had to tape pieces of paper together so the whole rule would fit on the page.

 

Also in the Walnut room the water wall and the wall with ramps and balls was very popular! They loved making new paths for the balls and water to travel down, to see if the path would work or not. 

 

 We hope everyone has a great weekend!

HAPPY SPRING!

Happy Tuesday!

We had a fun filled day today at school! :)

This morning, in the Kitchen children were busy practicing cracking eggs and making mini omelettes! 

The Indoor Movement Room was filled with children playing balloon volleyball!

The hallway was filled with playing instruments, get well card making, and drawing pictures in the black light hallway!

 

In the Walnut room there was a light activity where the children saw the different vibrations from the sounds that were coming from the piano. 

 

                      “It looks like waves from the ocean.”               “It’s making the vibrations because it’s louder.”                              Tristan                                              Nicholas

In the Oak Room, children were super busy with the shaving cream & drawing portraits of themselves.

 

'I have blue eyes, and these dots along my nose are freckles!" - Sidney N

Talia, William and Kelly were also dancing to ballet music!

 

 "Watch me leap like a ballerina!" - Talia 

Wood working and building different kinds of towers is still popular in the Maple room! 

In the afternoon, the children in the Pine room were playing charades! The children came up with their own ideas and drew the different kinds of pictures that they were acting out!

We hope your day was just as fun as ours!

Stay warm! :)
