Happy Thursday!
Our day started out with a bang! We shook our shakers up to the sky and down to the ground. Throughout our music session, friends made sure that others had shakers as well. A few of our friends shared their instruments with others.
To add to the intensity of our music time, the drums were also retrieved. We pounded on the drums softly and loudly.
Zoey added in a little piano to go along with the rest of the instruments.
Once we were done making music, we turned on the music and used the circular rings to incorporate in our music time. We used the rings to spin around our arms.
A popular toy the last couple of days has been our stackable cake. There are ten different layers of cake. The cakes are different colors and have a number on each cake. We talk about cakes one through ten.
Clara worked on her fine motor skills when she carefully built a tower using the different sized squares. She had to be very precise and gentle while building.
It happened by accident. But isn’t this how the best things in life are found?! The stairs/steps combo in our gross motor area accidently got flipped over. P.K. looked at it. He tested it out. He found out that it was sort of a teeter-totter. Friends Eve, Clara, and Eren soon joined the fun. In pairs, children took on the teeter-totter. This was difficult for our friends! Not only did they have to balance themselves but take into consideration what their partner was doing!
If someone made a wrong move, they were both tumbling down!
Our balancing skills got an extensive workout! We found that children put their arms out to the side to try and retain balance when they were struggling.
Friends grabbed a bucket to sit in to watch the show!
The mirror is an excellent place to bond with friends. It’s interesting to look in the mirror and not only see yourself but your friends as well! Daniel held onto the pole and leaned back. Children love to watch their reflection move!
For breakfast, children had whole wheat toast with cinnamon and pears. AM snack was corn. Lunch consisted of cheese pizza, mixed fruit (banana/oranges), and mixed vegetables. PM snack was Miss Tami’s homemade banana-oatmeal muffins. Yum!
Have a terrific evening!
