Leah The "teachers" you describe are not teachers they border on being abusers. They need to be replaced or retrained as soon as possible! Why does the day care director allow this kind of teacher behavior?

by Nicole P

Aug 2, 2009

I am going to create a tropical classroom theme this year. I am planning on building a palm tree and have beach chairs underneath it for my reading center. Besides that I don't have any great ideas. Anyone out there have this as their theme or can think of some ideas to help me out?

Thanks! Nicole

I usually give a $1 book from Scholastic for birthdays, but this year there aren't any that sound good. What does everyone give the children for their birthdays? Thanks!

Schari I order toys from Lakeside.com. They usually have some good choices in the 4-8 range. But my asst. wanted to spend less and always shopped at the dollar store and got books or toys - some really neat things.

Leah I used the following poem:

Hey everybody, look at me. Today I'm five (four) years old, you see. After this I won't be 3 or 2 or 1. Because that is when I was first begun.

Then sing Happy Birthday...

Terri in CA Does your center alow children to come in pull-ups? Our potty training policy is as follows:

The child wears pull-ups at the center until they have had 2 sucessful weeks using the toilet with minimal accidents. Then they must have 2 more weeks successful with underwear before we consider them "potty trained."

I hope this helps.
