Happy Monday! Hope everyone had a terrific weekend.

Today, we welcomed back Ellie! She’s going to be joining us for the next two weeks!

Our imaginations were flowing this morning as many friends sat and created with magnatiles. There was an absolutely amazing tower that was built! Using their listening and communication skills, children worked together to build a tower that was as tall as Miss Rebekah! The group counted down from ten before they leveled the tower!

Owen and Elliott worked on a 2-dimensional creation that spanned the length of the carpet. They made sure that each side was a mirror of itself.

We were quite exploratory as we headed outside this morning. Many of us carried bug containers around, looking for different forms of life.

We took this ‘nature’ aspect of our morning and transferred it to large group. Elizabeth expressed interest in reading a story that she brought from home. So, we read it! After learning about different ways to help the Earth (in the Lorax’s words..), we brainstormed ways to help our Earth and make sure we keep it clean. A couple keys points that were made:

1. “Don’t smoke! It’s bad for your lungs and it stinks!”

2. “Honk at someone if they’re littering.”

3. “Throw your popsicle away.”

Breakfast: Toast with butter and pears.

Lunch: Whole wheat pasta with chicken and butter, pears/oranges, and cauliflower.

PM snack– Whole milk yogurt with homemade granola.

Wee Sprout– Cucumbers.

Have a lovely night!
