Good Afternoon All!

We started off our day with hands on activities in the kitchen. Elizabeth, Ellie, Olivia, and Lea created apples using play-dough. We put a real apple on the table so that they could compare the apples that they made. Elizabeth loved singing a song while rolling the play-dough into a ball. After everyone was done with the play-dough, Chloe and Elizabeth wanted to help clean up so they both grabbed a broom to lend a hand! How thoughtful! 🙂 Some of the children gathered in the living room to listen to a special story called “Let’s Look!”. Elizabeth, Lea, Olivia, Ozzie, and Ellie loved looking at the pictures to find certain objects. It was the ‘I Spy’ book for toddlers! We looked at different food, travel, beaches, and farm. We all loved looking at the different colors of the objects.

Music time came next. Boy do we love Miss Paulina’s music! Olivia and Chloe loved helping her play the strings on her guitar. Drums, ribbons, shakers, and bean bags were used to enhance the guitar play. P.K. was smiling ear to ear the entire time. When the children were told to laugh out loud, Elizabeth let out such a loud laugh. You could tell she was having a blast! Clara loved playing with the ribbons and using her fingers to separate the different strands of colors.

While lunch was getting prepared, we took out the name cards and worked on recognizing names and faces along with the gender and age of each child. Sloane recognized each child and stated whether they were a boy or girl.

For AM snack, the children enjoyed rice cakes with cream cheese. Lunch consisted of apples, cucumbers, ham and bean soup, and hummus tortillas.

Hope everyone has a great weekend!
