MLC 2020 NOVEMBER NEWSLETTER

Toddler Classroom: Ms. Brie

Hello parents of MLC, I would like to welcome you and your children to the Toddler Room.      

Rules/Expectations: In my classroom I do encourage self help skills throughout each school day! Every child will learn the following:

• Self feeding (Using forks & spoons, throwing away their trash in the garbage bin, putting up their cups with straws when all done, and pushing in their chair when finished).
• Independent dressing (I encourage them to put on their hats, shirts, pants, shoes, boots, gloves and jackets on & off).
• Getting their belongings in and out of their cubbies (Blanket, clothes, extra diapers).
• Helping with daily classroom chores (cleaning tables, folding laundry, picking up toys when needed). 
• Friendship (Sharing, taking turns, having nice hands with the other children).

Reminders: Please dress your children appropriately as the weather is changing and becoming colder! I do encourage all of you to bring in extra weather-appropriate clothing for your children whether it be shirts, pants, or jackets! Sidenote: If you can, please bring in family photos as I tape them on the walls of my classroom. The children love seeing themselves, family members, as well as pets in photos and so do I!
