Dogs and Puppies

On Thursday, September 27 we will:

  • Read Harry Goes to Dog School by Scott Menchin.
  • Make Paper bag dog houses.
  • Enjoy a delicious "treat:" Egg-free sugar cookies
  • Free play time! I will have a doggie obstacle course set for puppies and doggies to enjoy!

Ideas for home:



  1. "Childhood isn't a time when he is molded into a human who will then live life; he is a human who is living life. No child will miss the zest and joy of living unless these are denied him by adults who have convinced themselves that childhood is a period of preparation." 
    Professor Ripaldi


    Happy Playing Everyone!

Yummy Apples!

Fall is on it's way! There is a crispness in the air and I can feel the excitement as we approach a change in the seasons.

On Thursday, September 20 we will:

  • Read A Day at the Apple Orchard by Megan Faulkner and Adam Krawesky.
  • Make "finger print apple trees."
  • Review the letter S and the sound it makes.
  • Enjoy some sweet apples together before free play.

Normally I would include some ideas for home, but I have a 4 year old who is not feeling well. So my ideas for home for the week are: Love, play, have fun, and do it every day!

I look forward to our time together and to meeting new friends!

"The best teachers are those who
show you where to look,
but don't tell you what to see."

Discovery Hour Thursdays

Thursdays are the new day for Discovery Hour! We will resume weekly classes on September 20th at 10 AM. 

We will continue to explore different topics through dramatic play, music, movement, literature, and art. I would like to also add some letter recognition and phonics activities (depending on the age of participants :) in the form of play and games. All activities will be followed by free play and maybe a chance for the adults to socialize too!

Hope to see you all soon!!
