Dance Party!!!

Happy Friday everyone! Today we started our morning off by jamming out to some Yo Gabba Gabba and having a school wide dance party! Almost all of our little guys joined in on the fun; even little Genevieve was getting down. Hunter enjoyed the music so much that she shaking her whole body while holding on to a bar on the dome. Sophie was part of the action too and joined the toddler mosh pit! I captured a lot of the footage on tape and hopefully I’ll get to use some of it in our music video!

Miss Toni joined us shortly after and introduced a game where the kiddos jump through different sized hula hoops one-by-one. Some of our guys like Gage and Olive seemed to really enjoy this game and some of our older friends from the toddler and primary rooms helped them go through the hoops.

Noah really likes to say the word bubble. I was changing his diaper and all he would say was “bubble, bubble, bubble,” it was too funny!

After our little dance party outside we all headed in for snack. During snack we sang our “Days of the Week” song and then counted the number of days. Then we looked at the weather chart as well as outside the window to see what type of weather we are having. After snack we had our circle time in which we all sang the “Hello” song. Then we brought our friend Fish, who is a beta fish that lives in a fish bowl in the toddler room, to the center of our carpet for everyone to see. I also showed a picture of a reef fish and did the sign for fish. Ancel, Olive and Wynn did a great job of imitating the sign for fish which is basically moving your hand like a fish swimming.

After circle time, half of our class went out to the backyard with Miss Lizzie, who was filling in for Arielle while she was doing Kinder Blossom. The other half stayed inside with me and did made pasta art. They all practiced placing the dry pasta onto the spot where I had placed the glue. Some wanted to eat the pasta, but once they saw that it didn’t taste as good as cooked pasta they spat it out.

After nap, the other half of the class that didn’t get to do the pasta project in the morning will be able to do it in the afternoon with Miss Arielle, while I take the other half out to the deck.

Next week the animals that we will be learning about are penguins and owls. We will also be doing some artwork that involves gluing, painting, peeling stickers, and stamping.

I hope everyone has a fabulous weekend, and we’ll see you on Monday!
