Good Afternoon and Happy Friday!

Stories took up most of our day. We admit it. We’re creatures of habit. We LOVE certain books. Most of us don’t care if they’re read over and over. Is it a bad thing? No. But we’re trying to get our friends to read a variety of books. I’m sure we’ll always come back to those books we’re familiar with..books that we love Smile.

Chef Eve, Chef Zoey, and Chef Emma headed to the kitchen where together they whipped up wonderful food! They shared with friends and let everyone know what it was that they were making.

Throughout the day, we get tired. Each child finds a certain spot in the classroom to rest, to take a breather. The skill of self regulation is an important one! When we get tired, we rest for a little bit.

A selection of children’s music was turned on this morning. Children wanted the circular rings and shakers out. Once those were out, we made movements and sounds of our own to go along with the music.

We did the hokey pokey. Then we shook our sillies out. To end our music time, we were a bunch of monkeys jumping on the bed!
