Hide and Listen

Happy Tuesday ya'll!

I hope that everyone had a lovely 3 day weekend.  We came back to the sprout ready to have some fun!  This morning we sat outside on the big table and painted some pictures.  It was a nice transition for our recently returning friends; what a relaxing way to start the day.  After we were finished, we hung them up on the rope for everyone to see.

This week, we are learning about our ears.  During circle time we read, "Eyes, Ears, and Nose".  Our friends really enjoy this book because it allows them to peek under hidden pieces of clothing to reveal body parts.  They asked to read it over again of course.  We also looked at photos of ears including a kid's ear and a dog's ear.  Everyone was able to point out their ears and their friends' ears.  We also sang, "Do Your Ears Hang Low".  For our activity today we played Hide and Listen.  I hid Cherokees phone in different spots around the room and called it with my phone.  The children were encouraged to use their listening ears to find where the sound was coming from.  It was a bit challenging at first, but after a few tries they got it.  They were so excited to do it over and over again. We might have to play this game again this week.  

We had long, lazy 3 hour naps today and everyone woke up so relaxed and calm; just in time for yoga with Miss Amelia.  We went through our usual routine of songs and everyone enjoyed trying to sing/dance along.  They are really getting comfortable with Miss Amelia and getting to know the songs pretty well.  They even started singing them at different times throughout the day.

I want to remind everyone to please sign in and out everyday and please bring a hand towel for the week if you have not done so already.  I hope you all have a lovely week.
