Happy "Un"Birthday to Olivia!
Olivia will turn four on Friday, March 30)

Olivia (currently) likes the color blue. (Earlier this year it has been red, pink, and purple). She has an older brother named Colton and an older sister, Natallia. Her father "works." She has a friend named Savannah. She likes her cousin, Presley best. She also likes to "play at the beach in San Diego." She likes to play with "cars...and My Little Ponies." She likes to talk about Nana and her pets (bunnies, dog, etc.). She loves her Daddy and Mommy.

Circle Time: We had a fun time reading The Big Book of Me and talking about Careers today.

"What do you want to be when you grow up?"

Hugh: A Construction Worker who builds buildings.
Olivia: Dora! (Even with added suggestions, it always came back to Dora. Perhaps a Language Translator?)
Susie: A Doctor or Nurse. I want to help people.
Eva: (Eva heard Olivia and agreed with Dora...she talked more about Boots the monkey.)

We also talked briefly about the letter Xx and the sound that it makes. X is curious. It sounds like "Z" at the beginning of a word (xylophone) and "Ks" at the end of a word (like ox).


We are enjoying the wonderful weather. The children were so hot inside that they suggested we play outside with the Sand and Water table outside for recess. Great Idea!

Shapes Review: I sent home a mini shapes card with an elephant cartoon. Parents, please put this up (briefly) where they can see it and quiz them on their shapes--esp. rectangle and triangle.

We missed Preston today. We hope he is feeling better and joins us again next time.
