Happy Monday!
Hope everyone had a fantastic summer vacation!
We all got back into the swing of things this morning! We welcomed our newest friend, Grady, who fit right in! He walked in and immediately headed for the cars and building materials. A big welcome to his family, Nathan (Dad), Mandy (Mom) and little brother Mack who is next door at Wee Wee Friends!
We were in a creation mode this morning! Friends used various building materials to express their thoughts and ideas.
The creation station (aka art table) was in high demand this morning. This group conversed with one another and used their listening skills to take into account what others were suggesting.
Sloane and Clara asked for the art easel to be open right after breakfast was cleared off the table. Children waited their turn while their friends finished their projects.
In large group, we read a story titled, ‘The Hole in the Dike’. The story centered around a little boy who was raised in Holland. We were told what a ‘dike’ is; a border like structure that surrounds the water so that it doesn’t come onto land. Turns out, there was a hole in the dike! Friends were captivated as they listened to how it was going to get fixed! The question was asked: ‘How would you fix the hole?’ Many differing answers were given but we explained that everyone’s answer was acceptable and plausible.
We are so happy to be back.
