Before leaving for swimming Macy and Kai scrubbed a basket of carrots donated by Cassie’s mom, Michelle. Thank you, Michelle! We are going to eat them tomorrow during our Thanksgiving Feast!

At the Y, WF swimmers continued to work on many skills. The younger class first practiced putting just their foreheads in the water. Next, the teacher sang a song about getting wet from head to toe as they took turns jumping off the edge of the pool into her arms. After that, they walked to the deep end and each WF jumped off the swimmer’s block right into the water! Kai and Simon worked mostly at the deep end of the pool. Today, they spent a good amount of time working on the back stroke.

Back at school, Melinda led a music exploration with instruments. It all started with Nate, who spent lots of time this morning belting out “Down By the Bay”.

Addi brought a matching game that everyone enjoyed playing.

We worked on our Thanksgiving placemats. Thanks to Christina and Alexandra G. for the photo and video! We will invite our friends to use these tomorrow for lunch and for their own Thanksgiving dinner!

After lots of conversation with the girls at the workbench, Kai constructed Tinkerbell.

For breakfast, we served cheerios and raisins. Lunch was whole grain rice with chicken, roasted butternut squash and bananas. For snack, we will serve yogurt and apples.

Have a great day!
