This morning we had tumbling on the blue bus! The children worked on their hand eye coordination with balls and the parachute. They played catch with the beach ball and the small balls. They used the parachute for a popcorn game and tent.

In the spirit of Christmas, we added a few new holiday materials for the children to explore: Christmas cards at the art table, Christmas cards, mail box, and mail carrier items in housekeeping, and a Christmas tree at the light table. Between these new interests and small group stories, the children stayed busy all morning long with these 4 things! We saw super long attention spans as they worked together to deliver mail and to make their own Christmas cards. It was such a nice morning!

(Side note…we would love to have your old Christmas cards for next years art/dramatic play!)

Melinda was the last of WF/WWF teachers to succumb to the stomach bug going through. We wish her a speedy recovery. We have a few other friends still in recover from a bout with it this weekend.

For lunch we had whole wheat pasta with marinara, French green beans/carrots, and my new sneaky fruit combo: avocado/apple pieces with cinnamon. Several of my friends really enjoyed it! For snack we will have pumpkin bread and raisins.
