Pre-Preschool Daily (Short & Sweet) Journal


Hi Everyone,

It was a girls’ day out today!  All of our boys are either on vacation or not here on Tuesdays.  So it was girl time for our kiddos :)  And to add to the girl party was Ms. Jocelyn!!!  It has been quite awhile since we have seen Jocelyn in our class, aside from the very quick visit the other day :)  We had a great time outside, reminiscing with old friends on familiar toys before going on our buggy ride!

Since we had such a low number today (6), we decided to go on a fun and relaxed buggy ride!  It was no ordinary buggy ride however, as Ms. Kelsey and Mr. Tim packed fruits and vegetables (plastic) to go on our trip :)  While searching for squirrels and owls, teacher prepared the curriculum.  While in the buggy, Mr. Tim asks certain questions about certain fruits and vegetables (and a chicken leg), before pulling each one out to show!  After naming the fruits and vegetables, after Mr. Tim and Ms. Kelsey’s clever hints, each child was asked which two they would like to hold.  We discussed what fruits and vegetables were, and which ones we enjoy eating. 

We hope you enjoy the short Tuesday email, please view the pictures along with the email,

Kelsey and Tim

Daily Memories,

Jocelyn- Was a hug machine today as we rarely get to see her anymore. Ms. Kelsey and Mr. Tim loved getting to catch up with her and having her back. She told us that she was coming back tomorrow; we wish!

Evie- Missed her doggy stuffed animal that was left at home today and was feeling sad at nap time while laying down. Ms. Kelsey asked her if she would like to pick out a school stuffed animal, but she declined and said she would rather "think about doggy". Now she's sleeping peacefully, presumably dreaming about doggy :)

Jane- Like many mornings, Jane began her day by reading Owl Moon with Ms. Kelsey. Later on the buggy ride we went into the 'forest' and Jane held up her hand, then called out to owls just like in the book!

Grace- Was riding on the metal fire truck when she turned and bonked her head. She felt alright but we did an ice pack to be safe; while first holding the ice pack, Grace said, "I can't feel cold- too much hair." Then she talked about how it was cold on her hands, so reached up and wrapped Ms. Kelsey's hair around her fingers to keep it warm like her head! 

Hailey- Hailey was Ms. Kelsey's hand holder all day today- one time when Kelsey said she needed her hands for a moment, Hailey replied, "No, that's Hailey's hand" haha

Clara- At nap today Clara had her eyes wide open. She has been up late the last few naps, so Ms. Kelsey asked her if she was going to rest her body this time. Clara replied, "No way", then almost immediately feel asleep. Sometimes sleep comes no matter how much you would rather play! :)
