Pirate Paige

When Paige moved up to her new class she got a new schedule.  This schedule is way more interactive and a little more structured than what she was used to in the infant room.  I don't know who is more excited about this, me or Paige.  I love that she is getting stimulated more and that she is learning and having fun at the same time.  I think she enjoys being a big girl with the other kids - she is very independent.

Each month we get a calendar of what is going on in the class.  The infant calender was pretty simple.  It told what they were "learning" about each week - transportation, dinosaurs, etc.  Well, the toddler room kicks it up a notch.  There is a theme each week and different activities that go along with this theme.  Along with that, every Wednesday is "bring a book" day and every Friday is "show and tell" (yes, my 1 year old is doing show and tell...the teacher says it helps with sharing - works for me!).

"Pirate Paige"

We all know that hat didn't stay on very long!

This week's theme was "Islands and Pirates".  Ms. Ashley arranged a sweet little treasure hunt for the kids out in the side yard.  Hats were made for each child, the kids made telescopes and they got to decorate their goodie bag.  Then it was off to the field in search of treasure.  We got to send a little something for her to find and Ms. Ashley took care of the rest.

Paige's hat, goodie bag, and all of the treasures she found including a stick (you have to look pretty close, but it is there with the silly bands).

Now week's theme is "Camping" and I know smores are on the agenda!
