The children were really engrossed in playing with their baby dolls this morning. It was so interesting to watch them, and truly amazing on what they observe and pick up on. Elizabeth and Marta laid on the floor with some pillows, propped their babies up and fed them their bottles. They also put them in the baby carrier, put a purse on their shoulders and headed to the door. Of course, they told us good bye, and when we asked them where they were going, most were going to work. It seems as though most of them are up on our technology, as they were talking on their cell phones, some even taking pictures.

 

Later during outside time, the children went to the chalkboards & we discussed the airplane that was drawn on it. The children initiated conversation about the wings on the airplane and the windows. Elizabeth mentioned a butterfly in correlation with our discussion yesterday about how other things have wings and can fly. Marta made mention of a bird. We drew these on our chalkboard.

Today the children had a bear hunt, but we a little bit of a different twist on it. One of the children would hide a stuffed teddy bear, and the rest of us would close our eyes, then wait to go find it. Bubbles filled the air with lots of excitement as well.

Today we had couscous with navy beans, cantaloupe, and carrots for lunch. We had some very hearty appetites!

This afternoon we will make a runway with our blocks, and begin some discussion on how cars are also a way of transportation. Triangles are the new shape, and we will continue to explore looking for them in objects we explore and books. The children began exploring our new shape yesterday afternoon by using some new crayons that had triangles at the end of them. They were also able to get some painting in. PK enjoyed some new exploring with bubble wrap.

 

Please note that breakfast is served until 9:00 a.m. daily. If you would like your child to have breakfast here, please keep this time in mind.

Enjoy the beautiful summer day!
