My sisters and I will be visiting in August, staying in Wildwood for 5 days and are looking for some fun things to do in addition to the beach, walking the boardwalk, restaurants. We’re thinking winery, escape room, sunset or whale/dolphin watching cruise? Any recommendations of specific locations? Any other ideas? Thank you!!
Also…verify who your child’s teachers are! I had a preschooler whose mom dropped kid off at before care with about 9 gifts (plants and tumblers). Not one had a “to” or “from” on it. So now I’m relying on a preschooler to decide who they all go to. I know mom thinks her kid is the smartest child ever born but he lacks discernment. He includes a couple of floaters and who were in my room a small handful of times and one admin person, but does not include 2 of his before care/after care teachers. This child is here from open to close, so goes to 4 different classrooms in the course of a day, so has 8-9 “teachers”. So now it’s up to me to decide who the gifts should go to, explain to him that he didn’t bring enough gifts to include ALL the people he’s ever had contact with, and label them so gifts don’t get confused, and deal with him being upset because he didn’t bring enough gifts?!?! And I get it…you’re busy and it was 9 gifts…but don’t be lazy. I don’t have time for this on the last day of school! Oh…and mom’s a teacher herself…you’d think she’d know better🙄

He apparently rattled off a few names to mom, she bought the gifts accordingly and sent them all in with her child.

UGH!! oh…and mom’s a teacher herself…you’d think she’d know better🙄
Teachers…what would you do?
First year at this center and pre-k graduation is coming up! We are to have our students create a graduate using skin toned paper. These will be displayed in the classroom during graduation and then taken home as a keepsake. When I’ve done projects in the past with this group, I’ve very often had children choose a tone very different from their actual skin color. No big deal, I let them choose! But for the graduate project, I’m wondering if I should guide them toward using the skin tone that actually matches them. For parents, if your child chose a skin tone vastly different than their actual tone, would that bother you? When I asked my director and other teachers, they suggested I choose the color. I just feel like the child should choose. What would you do?
