Good Afternoon!
**Just as a reminder, we’re asking if parents could please leave outside toys at home or in the car. We find that children most of the time don’t want to share their special toy which can cause some issues with friends at this age. Thanks so much!
Friends took turns in the kitchen as we worked with paint this morning. We picked out five different colors to use. For most kids, it was a great sensory experience this morning as we got our hands a little messy (if you’re child’s hands are pink, the purple paint tends to stain for a little while!).
Each child takes each experience for what it’s worth. Even though Maya, Tate, Nahla, and Lucy worked with the same materials, the process for each child is always different!
Once we were finished with afternoon snack, we turned on our favorite music as of late: Frozen! It is requested at least once a day and friends are beginning to sing along. We got out scarves and danced around the environment.
The sun today made us super happy and cheerful!
A few quotes that I found today that I thought are extremely appropriate 
.
“Children learn as they play. Most importantly, in play children learn how to learn.”
-O. Fred Donaldson
“Every child is an artist. The problem is how to remain an artist once we grow up”
-Pablo Picasso
For breakfast, children had cheerios and strawberries. Lunch consisted of hummus tortillas, oranges, and tomatoes. PM snack was cheddar cheese and graham crackers. We all ate a GREAT afternoon snack!
Have a great evening!
. As a group, we belted out “let it go” in unison.
