Hello! Today was a busy day full of learning.

Many creations were made out of play dough:

The guitars prompted smiles, singing and rounds of applause!

    

Later, friends requested songs on the computer. After a sampling of Halloween songs (yes, Halloween songs already!) we got out some sticks. A Wee Friend favorite is Tap Your Sticks by Hap Palmer [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M-UKTeWNgOk]

Outside friends found a HUGE slug:

The ice cream shop also brought lots of visitors:

 

“Whoooooo wants iceeee creeeeam?!”

Kindergarten: Today the kindergarteners played a game called “Chomp!” where they reach into an “alligator” (made from an old yogurt container) and pull out a letter. Next, they identify the letter, its sound and a word that starts with that letter. However, if they pull out a “chomp” card the alligator eats all the letters again!

To also include math skills in this activity, Elizabeth and Elliott made tally marks for each letter they pulled. At the end of three games we added up the number of letters they got from the alligator and found out that 6+3+2=11!
