What's up?
Centre just celebrated Japanese week and it was great. The children picked up the two songs I taught them really quickly and I am so impressed with them. I dabble in Origami and it was a great opportunity to introduce them to this art form. Other than the fun week it has been business as usual and I am still looking for the magic potion when it comes to toilet training. Seems like I just get one lot trained and then I get a new lot ready for training. It does seem to work better when they do it together but I would LOVE a day with no wee on the floor or carpet for a change. Debbie |

Re: What's up?
time of the year because now the children have to keep their shoes and socks on but everytime I turn around I find shoes and socks lying all over the place. Every morning we talk about this and the need to keep them on with the sand and gr*** being damp and cold outside but it goes in one ear and out the other. I'm thinking of putting super glue in their shoes.  )Debbie "daisymay94" <Daisymay94@verizon.net> wrote in message news:ncFsc.17170$rb.12520@nwrdny03.gnilink.net... > LOL We've been having such hot days we've been in the sprikler every day.... > fun fun fun... mess mess mess...lol my gr*** is loving all of the water > though LOL > > I just bought a black light... it picks up spots of urine, blood , saliva... > pretty cool.. and pretty gross!!!!

Re: What's up?
In our daycare all children who could walk had to have their shoes on...
even during nap. They said it was a hazzard.... if there was a fire or emergency then children would have to go out with out shoes and this was dangerous... what a stubbed toe... gl***.... Kids are kids and kids hate shoes! So do I for that matter but I wear them.. as dh says it's kinda unprofessional to walk around barefoot... but i wear sandals and flops on occation... I just hate shoes and have no problem with kids walking around with their piggie toes sticking out all day! Winter months I make em wear socks at least.... I dont' know what to tell you to keep the shoes on Deb as these kids take their shoes off upon walking in the door then put them in the "shoe basket" (a small wicker basket by the door). Maybe make a game of it... who ever leaves their shoes on will get a sticker when you get back inside. If they take the shoes off then no sticker... but then again I hate to see kids cry when they don't get a sticker... so a sticker and a promis to try harder for the ones who take off the shoes LOL "*Debbie*" <redruby@bigpong.com.za> wrote in message news:AmGsc.9969$L.1854@news-server.bigpond.net.au... > We are going into winter so no more swimming/water play for us.

Re: What's up?
In summer they are allowed to take their shoes off but in winter they have
to keep them on. I had thought of stickers but I also feel bad for children who don't get a sticker and get upset. This happens every year and then when we go into Spring and they can take shoes off, everyone keeps them on!!! They just get used to the idea when it's over. Our Centre rule is they are allowed to take them off for rest but the other times they have to keep them on in winter. We are not allowed to let them walk around in socks. I once had this little girl who had her indoor and outdoor shoes and we had to keep changing her footwear every time we went in and out.

Re: What's up?
That's a bit yuck and uncomfortable. I can see the point of there being an
emergency but that's a bit extreme.

This is the rule in the center I work in also. Most comply willingly. A
few we must enforce and reinforce this rule.
