September was a wonderful month of getting settled in getting reacquainted, as well as meeting so many\u00a0new faces. Our Three Year Olds are doing wonderfully and our Four Year Olds are absolutely amazing! What a\u00a0great start to the school year!<\/p>\r\n<p>In the month of September we recognized <a href=\"https:\/\/www.orangeshirtday.org\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Orange Shirt Day<\/a> in all of our\u00a0programs. Highlights in the month of September included exploring dinosaurs, construction vehicles,\u00a0reflective materials, Mr. Potato, and Alphabet letters. Most popular this month seemed to be creating\u00a0obstacle courses with blocks, splashing and scooping in our water table, squishing and shaping at our\u00a0playdough table, and taking care of babies and cooking (dramatic play) in our play house.<\/p>\r\n<p>Don\u2019t forget to\u00a0take a look at our social media profiles for glimpses of our days&#8217; activities and interactions!
