WF Daily Explorations, Friday 4.1.11

Thank you Christina and Matt for the cloth table napkins!

Today, Melinda led friends in a math exploration: measuring, cutting and attaching various lengths of string to plastic eggs, which they later hung throughout the house. They hung a stair step pattern of eggs along the art room door frame. 

Laurie led a small group creative music lesson with crazy haired sock puppets. The kids put the puppets on their feet exploring rhythm and movement while listening to a Big Band recording of “Happy Feet”.

The kids were ecstatic about meeting Taco, the new WF hamster, who arrived at lunch time.
