Thank you to all the families, teachers and friends who helped to make my 25th anniversary at Northwest so special. Your comments and reactions left me truly humbled🥰. Celebrating during a pandemic is something I will never forget. Love to all of you, Melinda Nenninger

The Twinkling Stars are learning about apples this week. In today’s activity we practiced peeling apple stickers and sorting them onto the correct colored apples. We really enjoyed using our fine motor and thinking skills! 🍏🍎
Thank you trees!

Happy Halloween from the Cuddly Cubs! 🎃
The Kangaroo Kids present “The Wind Is Howling Through The Night”....
The Optimistic Owls drew the Goblin from our imagination and wrote a description. Our goblins are all unique, just like each of us!
The Twinkling Stars carved their pumpkin this past Monday and enjoyed exploring what we found inside! The pumpkin pulp and seeds were a lot of fun to squish around. We loved this (not so messy) sensory activity! 🎃
Election Day 2020... it’s never too early to show our kiddos how important this process is. Today the Kangaroo Kids cast our ballots to decide which book we should read before nap. It was a landslide for Spookly!
Northwest held their 4th Annual Pumpkin Roll this morning! The children took turns with their teachers to roll their carved class pumpkin down the big hill. We look forward to this tradition each year, it was originally inspired by a former Butterfly Buncher. This year the Twinkling Stars pumpkin rolled the farthest, nearly all the way into the Digging Garden!
🦋 The Butterfly Bunch learns about numbers in all different ways. During a lesson on spiders, we used spider rings to practice counting sets of numbers 1-5. 🕷 🕷🕷🕷🕷
**Use many different collections of objects at home to practice counting sets of numbers, too.

Monday December 21, 2020 is White Day! Our playground is ready, are you? Wear lots of white!
The Butterfly Bunch were interested in learning moon facts this week. We learned that the moon is a sphere which is a 3-dimensional shape. We sorted circles and spheres. That was tricky!
We also imagined what it would be like being an astronaut as we created rocket ships. Lift off! 🚀
Ice painting in our science journals! The Twinkling Stars work each month in their journals- Color, Science and Personal! They will go home in June, but families can ask to see them at any time!
The Twinkling Stars couldn’t have a communal “snow table” this year, so we scrapped the playdough and brought snow inside to explore in our individual containers. “Cold!” “Wet!” and “Brr!” were heard a lot! We noticed the next day our snow containers became water- they melted! Just like in the story we read Monday, “Sneezy the Snowman” by Maureen Wright.

🦋The Butterfly Bunch is having lots of fun reading many different adaptations of the story, The Gingerbread Man. Along with cooking, art, and science, we had fun taking turns retelling this repetitive story through puppetry. 📚
The Twinkling Stars always love a good story! Re-reading familiar books with your child is a great way to reinforce a love of literacy! Those pre-reading skills are already hard at work at two years old. 📚
