Good Afternoon!
***We are going to have water day tomorrow so please make sure your child has a swimsuit here! Thanks!
Our day flowed seamlessly. After completely the sign in message and eating breakfast, children drifted off to various activities.
We re-arranged the habitrail area and rotated toys into the environment. The big, yellow tracks were brought upstairs which were utilized all morning long. Various configurations were made so that cars and tracks could be driven all throughout the circle carpet!
As we went outside, we found out that we had a TON of helpers on our hands. First, a station was set up to shuck corn that we had for lunch. Friends headed to the garden where they helped weed. We love going into the garden each day, seeing if there’s any vegetables ready to pick!
We needed to move our bodies before lunch so music was turned on outside. Sometimes, just a little music does the trick!
We read two stories during large group today. The second story we read was titled, ‘My Many Colored Days”. After finishing the story, we talked about how WE feel today. Everyone told the group how they felt today using colors, just like the book!
A child transferred the conversation that we had in large group to her journal. She said, “Look. This guy is blue and sideways! He’s not very happy.”
Breakfast– Whole grain oatmeal with honey and PPC peaches.
Lunch– Hummus on flatbread, fresh corn on the cob, and apples.
PM snack– Blue corn chips and refried beans.
Wee Sprout– Red pepper.
Have a terrific evening!
