This week in DAP and the rest of the building’s theme is Dr. Seuss! Oh, the places we will go! We are prepared with all the Dr. Seuss classics for reading, making activities from, and getting excited about all of the theme days we will be having as a building!! Can you say pajama day?? Dr. Seuss would be proud. (See email for full theme day schedule!) If you have any Dr. Seuss books that your child particularly loves, feel free to have them bring that in to share with the class. This weeks theme in the building also touches on the importance of reading and using your imagination when reading books; something all Dr. Seuss books do for us! We can’t wait to start this week off the Seuss way!

This week in DAP we will be covering the theme of ‘safety’. This covers a wide range of sub categories such as stranger danger, kitchen and home safety, seat belt and car safety, following the rules at home and at school, and other categories to help keep our kids aware and safe! We will be learning all about being safe by participating in themed safety activities and watching some well done safety briefing videos made just for kids. Eating healthy is still going to be discussed as an overall theme, so make sure you talk about that at home as well! We had a great time learning how to keep our teeth healthy and how trips to the dentist can sometimes be scary

In response to the Dentist theme post-I am having trouble uploading the pictures! I will try to fix this issue asap and get them uploaded. Thanks for your patience!

This next week we will be exploring the theme of ‘going to the dentist’. We will have a dramatic play area set up with a dentist chair, masks, and dentist tools, play doh dentist game, and lots of other fun activities that apply to going to the dentist.

This week we finished up Eating Healthy. We talked more about going to the doctor, how germs are spread, and foods that work to keep our bodies healthy. Attached are some pictures from the eating healthy week including doctor theme week. Enjoy!

This coming week we will be partaking in the theme of eating healthy and things that are ‘good for your heart’ as a sub theme for valentines day. We will be discussing healthy food, why it is good for you, and other ways to stay healthy. We will be having Valentines Day theme this week integrated into the curriculum, and will be doing some more specific Valentines Day activities on Thursday. We will be icing cookies for snack, but will not be having a party. If your child wishes to send in a small treat or Valentine for their classmates, that is fine, as long as it can be sent home in the children’s book bags as we will not pass them out at school. Thank you and continue to speak to your child about staying healthy!
