Hello! While the older children were at the farm, the other Wee Friends had a great morning. It started with an exploration of our stencil collection.

Friends chose a stencil that interested them and used it in the way they saw fit. Some friends put their stencil under their paper and drew on top, while others drew inside the stencil. Other friends chose to color without stencils and some used them to make specific shapes in their drawings. Each friend worked the way they wanted to and were peacefully engaged in their creations.

After our inside work, we had SO much energy to expend outside. We definitely used our voices and lungs to their full capacity this morning! These three friends had a dance/singing party as they jumped and twirled to songs of their choosing, such as “ABC,” “This Old Man” and “Twinkle, Twinkle.”

Later, friends pretended to be lions and crawled/roared their way across the yard.

Kindergarten: Today the kindergarteners spent some time outside on the bridge, reading Mirette on the High Wire. After reading this exciting story about a girl who meets a famous high-wire walker and learns to wire walk, we had a discussion about the story and its characters and setting [working on literacy FAB K.RL.2.3: Identify important elements of the text (e.g. characters, settings or events)]. We decided that it would be very scary to walk across a high wire!

Later this afternoon, we held a pumpkin meeting! Ms.Tami bought our classroom two BIG pumpkins, so Ms. Melinda led a discussion about what we should do with them.

Each friend had a chance to share and we came up with some pretty great ideas:

Have a wonderful Wednesday!–Jessica
