We have one mom who has volunteered to drive to the pumpkin walk for Monday but we will need one more mom or dad to help drive for the Monday group. Both Monday’s groups will be going together to the pumpkin walk. I do need just one parent who can take at least two kids in there car on Thursday 20th. Plan on bringing your child’s car seat or booster the day of the field trip so we can be safe in the car. I also want everyone to wear their preschool t-shirts so we can be easily identified.
Homework Challenge: We are talking about food this week. Meal time can be a very challenging time with young children. One thing that helps in our family is to expose the children to many different foods and not to cater to what we know they will eat. It’s ok to give them very small portions. Praise them for trying it and being brave to do new things. Talking about why we eat fruits and vegetables hopefully will help the whole family eat healthier. When I was younger I loved when my aunt would encourage me to eat by building a house in my tummy. We had to eat the brown food for the walls of the house, the red for the flowers, the green for the grass etc. This can be a fun game to encourage eating food.
