Why not celebrate our fourth week together, and the first full week of February, with dressing our little ones with clothes of a class theme?!
Not only will it make our class together a little more entertaining for us adults, but it gives the little ones a chance to shine for a moment. These little ones LOVE, need and deserve to be acknowledged. So, here are my suggestions:
So for the week of February 1st: For the Our Time classes, something train or car oriented. It’s what the Away We Go curriculum has been all about these past three weeks. I have a feeling that many a child has something adorned with Thomas the Train – shoes, pants, shirt, socks, hat, pj’s, jacket, anything. I’ve even had little kids show me their Thomas the Train underwear! For those of you whose child doesn’t own anything with a train theme, let them wear what they think is special. That’s what matters anyway.
For the Imagine That classes, something toy related. Our class is based on our experiences in the pretend toy shop and while it could be ANY toy, we’ve been specifically singing and moving like jack-in-the-boxes, balls, drums and spinning tops.
For the Village class, how about something farm related? We’ve been moving and bouncing and singing to Old MacDonald, so I can just see these twelve babies in assorted sheep and cows and teddy bears and cats and dogs and……THIS class might be the easiest one to dress for!
