• Blog change…we have a new plug-in for our blog that will allow us to post all of the pictures we have taken for the day in a photo album slide show.  We have tons of great shots each day that never make the blog so this will allow parents to view them ALL and it will make the blog text easier to read.  This means that each day, you will see just a few featured pictures within the blog text and there will  be a photo album at the end each blog!
• We are on break from the Tumbling Bus for 2 weeks and today was the end of the current session.  Blue Bus will return on Monday, April 8th. 

At a Wee Friend’s request, we offered a sensory exploration at the art table. Lisa invited friends to sit down and then she, literally, sprayed shaving cream on the table top for friends to ooze, mix, squish, smell and paint with.

Whenever the opportunity presents itself, we build in a literacy lesson, particularly with our older friends who are reading or on the cusp of writing/reading.

The ice cold spritzy day kept us inside, but we worked it out, first by acting out The Wizard of Oz and Cinderella. A few friends crawled beneath the orange satin fabric and pretended to be beneath an orange tree, eating and squeezing oranges. Music ended with a sensory awareness game of passing an object around and under the blanket, then using our hands as eyes to guess what it is. Then the parachute!

For breakfast whole wheat toast with PB and fresh pear slices.  WeeSprouts were carrots.  Lunch was whole wheat pasta and tuna, peas, and pineapple/banana.

Today’s photo album!  Enjoy!
