Federal Center 2003
It is Veteran’s Day so 3 of our 7 Day Nursery centers are closed to observe the holiday. Our State Government Center, Federal Center and Ft. Harrison Center are closed today. This picture is an oldie but a goodie but I thought it would be good to share on with you today.

Even though I was 12 when Sesame Street was born, I was a huge fan from day one. Growing up in a house of six children our TV was often tuned to the PBS station for Mr. Rogers and Sesame Street. I couldn’t let this milestone anniversary go by without saluting the people behind Sesame Street and thanking them for teaching me that there is no age limit on creativity. Here’s my vote for Put Down the Duckie as the best Sesame Street song of all time. YouTube is featuring a lot of great links to Sesame Street songs and skits today and the baby boomers at Google are celebrating too. Today, all trips down Memory Lane will lead you to 123 Sesame Street.

If you hate to throw away eggs cartons but don’t know what to do with the stack you have stashed in your closet, here are a few ideas to support your young child’s learning courtesy of NAEYC’s Teaching Young Children magazine .
Blocks: Close and tape shut many cartons. Voila! You have a set of giant blocks.
Sorting containers: Provide lots of objects to sort by color, shape, size or texture. Children can put like objects in each cup. Offer tweezers to build small muscles and coordination. Make sure objects cannot be swallowed.
Lost and Found center: Provide cartons without lids to collect stray pieces from games or puzzles. If something is missing from a game or puzzle, children can look for it in the lost and found carton.
Measuring Tool: Cut a carton in half lengthwise to make two rows of six cups. Have your child tape rows end to end to make a long row of 12 cups. Use it to measure areas in your house and outdoors.

The turkeys have arrived! We are now in custody of a pile of fine-feathered, glittery, google-eyed turkeys. Yesterday Beth and I spread them out over the table and invited the Day Nursery and Child Care Answers staff to vote for their top three choices. We are not ready to unveil which turkey has been chosen as the “official” turkey for the Day Nursery Thanksgiving card quite yet, but since we had so many entries, I thought it might be nice to unveil a “Turkey of the Day” to showcase the talents of the preschool and kindergarten classes of Day Nursery Northwest. Here’s today’s entry:
