The babies in the Baby room are
having new learning experiences
every day! We have incorporated a
new activity of placing the infants in
acircle on their tummies (circle time),
and letting them explore our toys and
the environment. This activity al
lows for social interaction between
staff and infants and also among the
infants themselves. Our babies are
learning to sit by themselves, hold
their own bottles and learning to
"Cruise" in our walkers. Some ba
bies are eating their 1st foods and we
have babies cutting their 1st teeth.
The ECE baby room is a very nurtur
ing environment for the children and
staff. We are happy to share some of
the experiences that we experience
every day with you!

Teachers: Susan, Sandra &

Our goal for the kids in this room,
is mainly to help them grow socially
and to develop self help skills for
Head Start nextyear! Their ages range
from 2 12 to 3 years old. They are
learning to play together and use
their imaginations more. They are
becoming more aware of otherpeople
and things in their environment. They
are also learning to become self suf
ficient in dressing, grooming and
cleaning up.
This is a very fun group to work
with because the changes they make
from age 2 to age 3 are so dramatic,
they go from a word or two, to full
sentences! It's very exciting and we
have a good team of teachers work
ing for these kids. I love it!

been busy making turkeys. During P.
Mooney we heard a story about Mr.

cause no one could see him. P.
Mooney helped him by explaining
that he had to feel good about him
self first before people would be able
to see him. He was glad P. Mooney
helped him so he could go find more
friends.
One day we took our magnify
glass outside to the playground and
looked at the frost. It looked like
little slivers and when you touched
it, it melted. We had one friend who
