October in our Time For Two's Program
October 7, 2016, 03:22 PM
It’s already October. Our children are
getting adjusted to our classroom. I see that our children are getting very
engaged in toys, books, and art. We would like to show you our routines and
what we have been doing in the classroom.
We are having fun while learning
during free play. We noticed the children are beginning to share and take
turns. I noticed our children are enjoying music. They love to move and dance.
We enjoyed doing
circle and singing our songs. One of the songs is B-I-N-G-O.
We have been doing art
for Thanksgiving. We glued eyes and feathers on our turkeys.
Children are learning
how to wash their hands and sitting at snack table with all their friends.
We started to go down
to the gym for gross motor activities. Children are enjoying holding and
exploring all types of balls. We are throwing the balls up in the sky, passing
the balls, and bouncing them.
Until next time,
Michelle

Springtime in Two's Time!
April 14, 2016, 09:21 AM
It was so nice to see all of our friends after Spring Break! It was exciting to see
them all happy to be back in Two’s Time!
The
children all remembered how to find their names as they entered class, and many of
them are now interested in learning how to recognize their friends’ names as well!
At
circle time, we introduced the game “Little Mouse Little Mouse”. The children
have to guess which coloured house the little mouse is hiding behind, and they
were all engaged and eager to help each other guess.
After
circle, the children continued to explore the little mouse and his house!
As
Mother’s Day is approaching, we are enjoying creating beautiful gifts while
having lots of fun with paint! They kids have been working very hard, and are
looking forward to sharing their presents with you!
At the
end of the day, we like to enjoy the fresh air and sunshine in the playground.
Some favourite parts of the playground are climbing the steps, the slide, the
swings, and racing the horses!
We
really enjoy seeing your kids growing with us!
Until
next time,
Michelle
PLAYing is what we do best!

Children’s understanding of the world is
reflected in their play. It is through play that they get to express their
knowledge of concepts and explore new ideas. Children’s work is play. Let’s see the children’s “work”:
BUILDing a tower
DRIVing the train
WASHing
the fruits and vegetables
WAITing
for the toast
KEEPing
the food in the refrigerator
PAINTing
the sliding door
GETting
some ice cream
BUYing some groceries
Children love to
use their imagination when playing. They
like to do a lot of pretend play.
As educators, we need to nurture that
imagination by providing them with materials they could use and by engaging in
conversations. It is through keeping that imagination alive that will let
children be children.
Until next time,
Patricia
Welcome Back Time for Twos
January 18, 2016, 01:12 PM
Time has passed so fast! I cannot believe that
it is mid-January and we are back to our new semester. Our children are growing
so fast and working so hard to learn the class routine.
I would like to show you our daily routine:
First, we sing our gathering song “The More
We Get Together”. We even use sign language for the song. During circle, we often
receive song requests, for example, “The Wheels on the Bus”, “The Alphabet
Song”, and many more.
After circle, we have free play. The
children play with cars, work on puzzles, read books, and create art. We are
learning how to use our words and how to share between friends.
We enjoy sitting down and having snacks
with our friends. Don’t forget, we have to wash our hands before we enjoy our
delicious food! J.
For the last 20 minutes of class, we work on
our gross motor skills. We like to go to the gym to play with balls, and to work
on our running and jumping skills. If the weather is nice, we will go play at
the playground.
I have to say that our children are so
capable! They are happily learning new skills, engaging with their peers and
teachers, and creating beautiful friendships.
Until next time,

As he contact juggled
In the cool night air!
Then it was time,
The lanterns were lit,
