Well... March started out like any other month in the world of daycare! We were
finishing up I Love To Read Month and getting excited about St Patrick Day! The
Toddle Bots we offered a variety of experiences to gage their interests and set a
focus for the month, we painted using pom poms and also did some color sorting
by sticking pom poms onto colored papers on our window. We did some big
muscle activities like jumping on big sheets of bubble wrap, climbing in and out of
a giant box, and using hammers and golf tees to hold pieces of styrofoam
together. We glued different sized circles together and then folded it in half to
create unique rainbows. We carefully threaded fruit loops onto pipe cleaners to
make bracelets.... But then we ate off all the fruit loops! 'cause we toddlers!!
We glued pots of gold, and made rainbows with clouds at the end. And then....
then the Toddle Bots got to spend time with the other groups in the centre as the
number dropped off quickly and drastically. On March 17th the government
announced that all daycares would close in 3 days and recommended parents not
bring their children in until further notice, for the few Toddles Bots left in the
centre we spent our time climbing snow hills with our older friends, and enjoyed
time on the baby room climber! We baked cookies for snack and got to use the
gym in the school. March ended early, and the Toddle Bots were sent home to be
safe with their families with an exciting game full of activities called Toddle Bot
BINGO! We at JA Cuddy are all hoping for a quick end to this scary time and an
exciting April!
