Happy Friday!

**Just as a reminder, we are only only next week Monday through Thursday. Our summer vacation starts Friday, June 29th and goes through July 6th. We will reopen on July 9th! Thanks!

Our day started off with puzzles. Children showed interest in their favorite puzzle by pointing to it or verbally asking for it. They helped one another if someone was having problems finishing it.

Ellie sat at the window opening reading, “Where Is My Mother?” After she was done reading, she asked Miss Mindy if she would read her the book.

Marina showed interest in coloring so P.K. decided to join her. They shared markers and talked to each other as well as themselves about what they were drawing.

 

Marina put away her markers and got the play-dough out. She used play-dough along with foam shapes to make different creations. She took a shape and covered it with play-dough. She let Miss Mindy know that the “heart was hiding” so we had to be quiet.

P.K. sat nears vines and trees and pointed to different things he saw. He pointed to a fly that he saw flying around.

Along the fence, there are purple flowers that are growing. Marina and P.K. used their nose to smell the flowers.

As we’re smelling the flowers, Clara points to the sky and started to laugh. Everyone else looked up in the sky and an airplane was flying by. She used her ears and eyes to notice that a plane was flying above us.

P.K worked with bouncy balls while outside. He tried picking two up at the same time and found that it was quite difficult! So, he played with them while sitting on the ground.

Marina and Ellie used their leg and arm muscles to help them as they bounced on a bouncy ball.

P.K saw his friends bouncing on a bouncy ball and decided he wanted to do this too! However, he tried it with a small ball. He tried twice to sit on it successfully but he kept falling off. He stayed determined and finally mastered it! He bounced on the little ball while using his balancing skills to the max.

The trampoline was taken out for our friends to play with. Marina enjoyed testing out the springs and the different tricks she could do.

Ellie chose to jump as high as she could! P.K. was hesitant about jumping with any force but after watching his friends a few times, he felt more comfortable about bouncing and jumping.

For breakfast, our friends enjoyed Chex and pears. AM snack was snap peas. Lunch consisted whole wheat tortillas with melted cheese, pears,banana, and green peas. PM snack was oranges and pretzels.

Have a terrific weekend!
