The Process of Snack Time

Before snack time begins, we take turns and work together preparing our food by slicing fruit, cheese, eggs, and other foods.


Slicing Apples
setting the table
 
singing the "shirt song"
finding my cup

washing my hands

The table is ready

waiting for everyone to be seated

snack song

enjoying snack

serving myself

clearning my plate

clearing my place

pushing in my chair


This is how we do snack in Toddlers

Outside Time!


We are now regularly going outside to play and we are loving it!  We run down the big hill, go down the big slide and we are becoming even better climbers than we were!  We are seeing the leaves begin to change color and fall and we also help wipe off the water on the slide!
