We are looking,each day, for an opportunity to get the kids outside! We assess the temperature, starting about 10:30am, and we look for “real feel” to be a number we think kids will be comfortable playing in. We take into account sunshine and wind! Unfortunately, we didn’t make it out this am!

HAPPY BIG THREE LEO!!!!!!!!!!!!

Math FAB K.1.17 and K.1.8: Find a number that is more/less than a number, up to 10: Use correctly the words one/many, none/some/all, more/less and most/least.

Many friends worked on Leo’s Big Birthday Card.

Other friends used a variety of math manipulatives and explored the above FABS.

Elliott experimented with a launch pad.

Clara puzzled and matched rhymes. She’s also been belting out     “C-L-A-R-A!” We followed her lead and cheered the letters that make up other friend’s names.

A group of friends played Maleficent under the habitrail. When casting the roles, the witch was said to possess “a black heart because she’s a witch”. We talked about the color black and sad and angry emotions.

And we celebrated Leo, in large and small groups, with his favorite toys and his birthday kazoo.

Wee Sprouts: Carrots. Breakfast: Cereal and raisins. Lunch: Whole wheat tortillas with peanut butter, peas and pears. Snack: Birthday cupcakes and apple slices.

Hope you’ve had a terrific day and here comes the sun.
