Happy Thursday!

Books and story time are a great way to ease into our day. It allows for bonding to happen in a quiet setting.

P.K. requested puzzles this morning. He did a great job at finishing the puzzle and taking it to a teacher to request another puzzle.

Zoey is loving being able to sit in the big kid chairs! She is so proud of herself after she pulls herself up into the seated position.

Music was turned on this morning and we got out our new scarves! Our friends LOVED exploring the new music material. We threw them up in the air and waved them around. Our new accessory put a BIG smile on our faces .

What is it? What does it feel like? How do we use it? These were some conversation starters with our friends. By the looks on their faces, they were very curious as to what these things were!

As a few friends went to other activities throughout the classroom, a couple children stayed to use multiple scarves at a time. P.K. took all of the scarves and threw them into the air at the same time! He loved watching them fall to the ground.

Emma used all of her might to throw the scarves as high as she could!

Clara was so forceful while she threw the scarves that she tumbled backwards into the basket! Oh no! It took her a little planning but she got herself out .

The abacus was a popular place today. We love looking at the different animals and spinning them around.

Friends Clara and P.K. spent a lot of time together today. They rested with each other before lunch, held hands during music time, and shared musical shakers with one another. Relationships at this age are a great thing to watch because just like any other relationship, they grow and turn into something wonderful!

Zoey loved hearing the crackling sound of the water bottle. She also liked the cold feeling that she felt on her hands.

It’s interesting to watch our friends after naptime. Some come out of the gate running, ready for the afternoon. Today, Eren enjoyed quiet time just sitting by himself.

Our Wee Friend Macy came over today to get her hair done by Miss Marty. Clara decided she wanted the same hairdo! They looked like twins!

For breakfast, children had oatmeal and apples. Lunch consisted of soy butter sandwiches, mixed fruit, and cucumbers. PM snack was string cheese and graham crackers.

Zoey waves ‘bye-bye’!
