Our Learning

 

To develop awareness and interest of the Easter holiday, this week we talked about what we do on Easter, watched Easter Books, and watched a movie about easter called Hop.

 

To develop their democratic values, we went to täby centrum and let the Flamingoes choose which Easter chocolates they wanted to put in our bag.

 

To develop their fine motor skills and as well as the importance of sharing and cooperation we made easter cars for our family,  and easter bracelets that the flamingoes gave to each other.

 

To develop their gross motor skills, we played basketball and bandi.

 

And of course to develop their creativity and enjoyment,  our flamingoes dyed their own easter eggs!

 

To celebrate the easter holiday and develop their interest and enjoyment in the holiday, we are going on an Easter hunt!

 

Kind Regards,


Darren, Paulina, and Therese

Dear parents,

Our learning

This week we talked about Easter. The children have been singing songs, we have been drawing Easter pictures, made an Easter basket and we had an Easter hunt in Thursday! 
When we made the basket the children practiced folding, to cut and how to use glue.
On Wednesday we watched a movie about Easter, called Hop. Also the children made an Easter card to take home.
We are very busy with language. In circle time the children learn more words and also how to pronounce them.
In the gym we played hockey, soccer and basketball. The children are enjoying all the new toys we have in the gym.
On Wednesday we had our first toy-day. The children that brought a toy shared it very nice with the other children.

Information from us

We have experienced that not all the children have enough extra underwear, pants and sweaters. We would like to ask you if you can bring extra, labeled, clothes for your child.

We have noticed that the lockers of the children are very full. One sleeping toy, (extra) clothes and shoes are located in the lockers. We would like to ask you to take all the other things home. On toy-day the children can bring 1 toy. On all the other days, the children play with the toys from the school.

 We would like to have another toy day on Thursday the 2nd of May. All the children can bring 1 item to school that they want the share with their classmates. Please keep in mind that toy-day is a sharing moment and that little toys may get lost.

On the 12th of April we will have an outing to Taby Centrum! We will give you more information about this later on.

We would like to ask all the parents to call or text us if your child is sick, not coming or if you are going to be late. Our number is: 070 4749286.

Important dates
1st of April: closed for Easter
12th of April: we will go to Taby Centrum
26th of April: we will go to the theater (more information you can find on the board)
30th of April: regular pre-school is open till 14.00
1st of May: closed for Valborg
3rd of May:
Development day for the staff. The pre-school is not offering normal care. If you need care that day, please inform Adriana.

We hope everybody will have a good Easter weekend and for some of the children a good holiday!

If you have any questions, please let us know.

Best regards,

Corrie, Ashlee and Florentine

 

Spindelman, skidor, nappdöd och scharlakansfeber

2013-03-18 09.39.44De Tre bad aldrig om att få åka på skidsemester (just det ordet använde de flitigt för att beskriva vad som stod på programmet) men såg entusiastiskt fram emot föräldrarnas påhitt. Det bar så av till Järvsö och trion slocknar snart efter att mor proppat dem med kemikalier för att motverka ***ord_får_ej_användas***. Halvsunkig väg om än med mycket E4 initialt. Järvsö är en liten håla, förvisso med elektricitet och rinnande vatten men utan systembolag så far och son far till Ljusdal, ännu en håla men lite större och med systembolag. På Järvsös enda pizzeria serveras “mat”: mor beställer optimistiskt “vegetariskt” som visar sig vara tre fyrahundragrams burkar bönor lagda såsom en s.k. koblaffa på tallriken, far en nätt och jämt tjänlig Calzone och pojkarna försöker plåga i sig en halvbränd lax som låg ihopgeggad på någon “bädd” av något grönt.

Nog om maten. Skidskolan var ett lyckokast och snart är de uppe och åker om än med blandat resultat: Jonathan, alias Rain Man, står glatt med spikraka ben och tittar i himlen, sjunger en sång och tryggt förvissad om att mor eller far räddar honom eftersom han är fastspänd i en sele. Michael däremot, åker den större pisten helt själv, tar liften, åker upp och så ner igen – sannerligen imponerande efter fem dagars skidåkning totalt i sitt lilla liv. Christoffer någonstans mittemellan. Sista dagen kunde hela familjen åka tillsammans vilket var….speciellt. Det kändes nästan normalt. Föräldrarna fick sig någon timmes egen åkning medan barnen var på dagis. Fint hus på Alpstigen 2a och b. Hit kan vi återvända (dock med halva packnignen nästa gång – puss Majsan!). Nästa gång slipper vi kanske byta bilbatteri på Roy & Rogers mack…

“Jag älskar din kamin, pappa” säger Michael och man kan aldrig anklaga ett barn för inställsamhet. Allt är fortfarande äkta, eller har en god intention. Michael älskar far och vet att han blir glad när han säger att kaminen är fin. Far tar hans lilla ansikte i sina händer, pussar honom på den lilla plutiga näsan och förklarar att han älskar sin lille pojke också. Små ögonblick av guld man önskar aldrig tog slut. Men snart är det slutpussat och vi blir “töntiga”.

Barnen ÄR Spindelmannen och Batman i stort sett dygnet runt. Herregud när jag var barn läste man sådant i tonåren. Men inte idag: allt finns tillgängligt på Youtube och i stället för Teletubbies vill man se Spindelmannen mosa Kingpin utan pardon.

Förskolan har verkligen fått ett lyft med nya rektorn Adriana och Jonathan flyttas på prov upp till de äldre barnen i Flamingoes men beslutar sig plötsligt att gå tillbaka. Vi kan bara ana att det handlar om kärleken till sina bröder och vänner som han om vartannat klappar på så hårt att man nästan hör ljudet av revben som knäcks i broderns rygg eller kramar varmt. Det är som om Jonathan blir tacksam för att man tar tag i honom och skakar om honom när utbrotten kommer, han “vaknar till”, inser sitt misstag och är mycket ångerfull.

Michael och Christoffer är väl som man förväntar sig att enäggsvillingar är: oskiljaktliga. Även där självfallet med pussar varvade med karatesparkar men i grunden en oerhörd kärlek. I bilen tillbaka från Järvsö klappar Chrstoffer sin sovande Michael ömt på handen.

Våren är brutalt kall, i synnehet mars med en snittemp på -4,4 grader (som december och januari) och våren låter vänta på sig. Fortfarande en hel del snö. Agnetas hund Wilma gör entré i barnens liv och Michael somnar sött i hennes hundkoja. Kaminhelvetet bråkar men far biter ihop och fixar såväl elektronik som sprucken pelletsmotor.

Våren bjuder i övrigt på “Scharlakansfeber light” som läkaren uttryckte det med därtillhörande penicillinkur, i stort sett avskaffande av den nattliga vällingflaskan och även nappen går en säker död till mötes. Jonathan är väl den som har störst separationsångest men det går verkligen framåt. Christoffers gosedjur Asta återfinns på leksaksaffären och vi inser att den är lika viktig för Christoffer som tusenfotingen är för Jonathan.

Rescheduling of Farm Visit

 

 

Dear Flamingoes parents,

 

Due to an unforeseen situation in the classroom this morning that required immediate attention, we unfortunately had to cancel the farm outing.

 

We are really sorry about the cancellation. However, we are rescheduling the visit for next week. So that all of our flamingoes can attend and be able to enjoy the farm.

 

Kind Regards,


Darren, Paulina, and Therese

21/03

 

Dear Flamingoes Parents,

 

Its almost Easter! Hope everyone is having a great week!

 

Information from us

 

To celebrate the Easter holiday, on Monday 22/03 we are going to an animal farm stora skuggans (http://storaskuggans4hgard.se/) to see the bunnies, chickens, and chicken eggs of course!

 

28th of March: pre-School closes at 14.00

29th of March: Good Friday- pre-school is closed

1st of April: Easter Monday-pre-school is closed 

 

On next thursday, the Flamingoes can come dressed as easter witches and country bumpkins.

Also, as the weather gets warmer (hopefully!) we are going outside more and more in the afternoons.

 

Our Learning

 

In preparation of Easter week, we have been discussing in depth about eggs, and centering many of our activities around the holiday.

 

We started our discussion on easter by talking about easter eggs. We also let the children decide for themselves which activities they want to participate. We learned about letters, built an igloo project, and played outside. Our purpose is to build their independence by letting them choose which activity they want to be involved in in accordance to democratic principles of cooperation and decision-making.

 

We continued our discussion on easter during circle time, and played mathmatics games of uno:domino, jenga, and building with blocks. During these math activities we want to develop their understainding of space, shapes,location and direction as wellas basic properties of sets, orider, measurements, time, change and number concepts.

 

We had art day and as such we made bunny easter baskets and read a bunny egg hunt book in which the flamingoes went looking for eggs in the book. Our aim was to let the children measure, cut, glue, and create their own baksets.This was to develop the flamingoes´s listening skills and ability to understand multiple steps of instruction as well to let them explore their own creative abilities.

 

On science day, we experimented with milk, food coloring, and dish soap! The flamingoes were in charge of their own experiment by choosing which colors, stirring and feeling, smelling the mixture as well. Our purpose was to show them instructions and develop their ability to follow steps accordingly. They used four of the five senses in the experiment and had a discussion about the exercise.

 

Best Regards,

 

Darren, Paulina, and Therese

Hello parents,

We have another unpleasant guest in the school, a parasite (threadworm/springmask)

The children wash their hands before and after coming in the classroom, bathroom, outside playground and the lunchroom. We do everything to stop the threadworm.

Pease make sure that you check your childs stool. Also you can buy a test and medicine at the Pharmacy.

If you have any questions please let us know!

Kind regards,

Corrie, Aslee and Florentine

Pedagogical Learning environment

Dear Parents!

We are working hard in our PLEM project! (Pedagogical Learning environment )

Sonnika, mother of Chiara Julie from the Cockatoos, is an artist and painter and she is drawing a jungle on our dinig-room wall.

She is now painting and we are trying to help as much as we can.

The only thing is that she will travel to Germany on sunday to have her baby there( She is very pregnant)

and we are afraid we will not make it until friday…

I am writing to you all to ask if you have time and would like to help?

Sonnika is here teaching everybody during the whole day and we would love your help!

If you are interested, please come! You can talk to Adriana, Jessica, Monique DP or directly

 

Best Regards
