Happy Monday!

Our friends started their Monday by asking questions and having conversations about the fish tank. Elizabeth used her hands to help her talk about the different fish that were swimming around.

Marina travelled into the kitchen where she practiced her dots and circles on white paper. She made many circles one after the other.

Again, the fish tank was a gathering place today. Chloe observed the fish swimming from a distance. Marina and Ellie sat closer and pointed to the different fish that they saw. The following question was posed to them: “Can fish live out of the water?” Our friends responded with a resounding, “No!” We also talked about how people can’t live in the water like the fish do.

Marina got out colorful bowls and lined them up throughout the table. She pretended to pour water into each bowl. She bent down and scooped the water from the ground. She was very concentrated during her play.

Elizabeth and Chloe spent time together in the kitchen where Chloe used a pretend knife to cut her fruit while Elizabeth took care of her baby by feeding her an orange!

We turned music on and our friends started running. Ellie said, “I’m running as fast as I can!” Their gross motor skills are improving just by the small things they do throughout the day, such as running!

Children bent over at their waist along the window opening. They all said “Cheese” while looking at the camera.

We got out the blocks and children had a blast sitting and standing on them. We asked, “Who has the blue block?” We went through the four different colors. Children were asked, “Who has the purple block?” Elizabeth looked around at all of the blocks and said, “There’s no purple block!”

For breakfast, our friends enjoyed Chex and apples. AM snack was strawberries. Lunch consisted of whole wheat noodles with ham and cheese, fresh snap peas, and juicy watermelon. PM snack was pretzels and raisins.

Have a great evening!
