Dear parents,

The Peach room has been all about babies this week! We filled our sensory tub with a bubble bath and gave our babies baths. We have tried our hand at changing our baby's diapers, changing their clothes and we've bundled them up and put them to bed. All of this play with our babies has sparked other ideas for pretend play and we've taken our babies shopping, taken photos of our babies and put our babies to nap. Some of our friends have even engaged in role playing ("I'm the mommy and you be the baby")  We also learned the baby song, about putting baby to bed and then taking care of him or her when she wakes up. We take turns deciding what the baby needs to go back to sleep (a new diaper, a kiss, a bottle...).

 At the circle time each friend brought their baby to the carpet circle and our friends were so excited to show them how we sing songs and dance .

When We play with dolls or stuffed animals, We are learning...
-To use our imaginations
-To treat others with tender, loving care
-To imitate the parenting behaviors we see in our life 
-Interpersonal skills 

Reminder, there is *no* school Friday or Monday due to Presidents’ Day and a teacher inservice! See you on Tuesday!

Shabbat shalom!
