A day with Genevieve!

                Today Genevieve from the infant class joined us all day. She’ll be in our class very soon. She had an excellent day and everybody enjoyed her company.

                This morning we played outside until we were ready to go in for snack. We did the calendar and then circle time, in which we sang the Hello song and talked about cats. We looked at several pictures of cats in different books (thanks, Ancel, for sharing two cool books with us) and we signed “cat,” as well as meowed. Then we sang about how Old MacDonald had a cat and Daniel the Dinosaur gave everybody kisses on their feet and foreheads. Then we headed back out to the playground.

                While outside Sophie went up and down the stairs. Clara played with a bubble container. Genevieve explored the playground. Ancel pretended to talk on a phone with a wheel from a toy truck. Noah, Gage, Olive, and Wynn played together in the sandbox.

                Later on, Ancel carried around two balls, Sophie played with a ball, and Lizzie played with Olive and Genevieve by bouncing some balls around. Wynn used a cookie cutter in the sandbox, Clara explored her surroundings, Noah scooped soil with his hands, and Gage watched the toddlers head inside.

                We went inside and had an incredibly pleasant lunch. We talked about the food everybody was eating and made sure to say their names several times (developing awareness of others.) Then we looked about book before going to sleep.

                After nap we had a little dance party and touched some rocks before Spanish class with Leona. While the tots ate snack, Leona, Arielle, and Cherokee sang some Spanish songs that they really enjoyed. Afterwards we had a tickle fest then headed outside to wrap up our day. It was beautiful out and we really enjoyed the cool breezes and bubble machine that Dom brought out. Let’s hope it rains the evening!
