Hello!

Today has been a whirlwind of activity. Here is a sampling of some of the things we were up to today.

This morning we continued our special paper mache project, this time adding some paint! We’re getting ready to unveil it on Friday.

Friends spent lots of time in the music area, dancing to Hap Palmer and Frozen songs. Later, we got out the instruments and strummed along with the music. 1, 2, 3, 4!

Today also brought a new addition to our classroom, a Lite Brite! Friends were very eager to explore this toy, but first they watched patiently as the teachers made a small repair: taking the Lite Brite apart to fix a loose light bulb. After it was fixed they got right to business putting in design sheets and filling them with color.

**We did have a friend go home sick today (fever, vomit). After going to the doctor, it was determined that this friend has strep throat Sad smile.  Good vibes to our sick friend and just a heads up to parents.

We started our day by welcoming Finn back to our classroom. He’s going to be visiting for the next week.

Between building structures with blocks and experimenting with paper macha, friends were quite involved most of the morning in one thing or another. Our paper macha project will continue throughout the week. The final product will be featured on Friday Smile.

Happy Monday!

Hope everyone had a terrific weekend.

Friends gathered around the art table as markers and paper were made available upon request. We focused intently on our vision and what we wanted our finished product to look like. Each child’s process to get to the end was different.

Strawberry muffins were whipped up in housekeeping. A friend said, “These are strawberry muffins. We are baking them in the oven.”

Once friends got outside, a few children decided to run off some energy. They did several laps around the circle. Friends ventured into the grass and played follow the leader. One friend started jumping so everyone started jumping!

It was the morning of Wee Friends creatures! A yellow caterpillar was found! Friends made a habitat for it and walked it around the yard making sure to show every single friend.

Someone shouted, “Look! There’s a blue butterfly!” A group followed the blue butterfly around the yard until it eventually flew out of the yard.

The teeter totter was a popular activity this morning! The dilemma: enjoy the teeter by yourself or ask a friend to join!?
