After a breakfast of fresh oranges and toast, the children were ready to venture into the main room for our donut shop game. PK joined in today, and was grinning from ear to ear. Along with our name cards, and naming the gender of each of our friend’s, the children are also beginning to tell us how old they are.

We danced to “Five Little Monkeys,” then read one of our monkey books, per Elizabeth’s request. From there, we moved right into our ‘Chicka Chicka Boom Boom.” Jada knows the book cover to cover, and all of the children are enjoying our abc song. Today we identified the letter that begins with their first name. Ozzie, Ellie, and Elizabeth are real pros!

Miss Lisa and Miss Mindy made water bottles with a group of children in the kitchen. We added letters to them, naming and recognizing each letter before the children placed it in the bottle. After they decided there were enough in the bottle, we counted paint drops in an array of colors to the bottle. We then added some dish soap to make bubbles. Once the lid was securely tightened, we would turn the bottle over and watch the letters float to the top. The children also took individual bowls and enjoyed playing with the letters at the table.

Miss Marty read to some of the other children. Ellie is becoming quite the bookworm.

For lunch today we had ham and cheese tortillas, peas, and fresh fruit.

Please be sure to turn in your parking form to one of the teacher’s if you have not already done so. Tami is requesting that you print and write your name on the signature line.

A special thanks to Jen for providing us with enough water bottles to complete our project today. Also, for those of you who brought us plastic bags, many thanks, and do keep them coming.

Enjoy the sunshine~
