Hello!
We want to wish Addi a BIG happy birthday! Today, she turned five years old! We hope you had the best 5th birthday ever!
We changed up the routine today (which is always a nice change of pace). Instead of waiting to go outside until 10:30, we headed out right after breakfast a little after 9. With the given temperature the next couple of days, our outside time will most likely be limited.
Friends lined up by the front gate to help Miss Melinda water our flowers outside. Each child grabbed a bucket to fill water with so that our flowers could get a nice drink.
Once we started to accumulate a little perspiration, we decided to head back inside where different activities were started up!
A group of four or five friends started building with magnatiles before they went to the trains where they built a complex working train..together! They talked with one another about how the train track should be set up.
An art activity was made available at the art table while Miss Rebekah read a couple stories to a group of children in the reading area.
We even enjoyed our thunder and lightning show this afternoon during afternoon snack! 
Breakfast– Oatmeal pancakes with banana.
Lunch– Organic brown rice with chicken, banana, and carrots.
PM snack– Addi’s birthday snack which was different flavored fruit popsicles (YUM!) and pumpkin seeds.
Wee Sprouts– Carrots.
Hope everyone has a great night.
-Mindy
