Good Afternoon!

Hope everyone is enjoying the ‘fall like’ temperatures! It’s great to open the windows and get fresh air throughout the house.

Zoey is continuing to strengthen her leg muscles. When she is sitting, she’ll move her legs around so that she can go to the floor on her belly. She loves to laugh and to talk with her friends. When on her belly on all fours, she is rocking at a rapid pace. She ready to go, go go!

This morning, friends worked with neon colored watercolors.

Marina used the blue paint first. She took her paint brush and painted the paper. She then took her finger and ran it through the paint which allowed her finger path through the paint to show. She lifted her finger and said, “Look, my finger! What do you think?”

Clara handed Miss Mindy the bowl when she was done. She used her words by saying, “All done.”

P.K. took his brush and dapped the paint on the paper. He enjoyed studying the paint while it was on the brush. He gently took his finger and brushed it against the paint.

Daniel used fast motions with the paint brush. The paint went all over the paper! He made sure to use the space that was provided to him.

We brush, brush, brush the paper.

Emma had a great time reading books today. She read a variety throughout the day. To relax in the afternoon, she sat and lay down by the pillows to read her books.

Daniel climbed up and down the jungle gym to work on his gross motor skills. He loves jumping once he gets to the top.

Clara used her fine motor skills as she tried to put two train track pieces together. She knew that they fit together so she tried putting them together at many different angles. If the pieces didn’t fit at one angle, she used her trial and error skills and tried to fit the pieces another way.

For breakfast, children had raisin bran and oranges. AM snack was string cheese. Lunch consisted of whole wheat tortillas with melted cheese, banana, and corn. PM snack was vanilla yogurt and banana.

Have a terrific evening!
