Hi friends,

I hope everyone had a good weekend! It was great to see those of you who came to the potluck; it was a lot of fun!

We were very busy today. We are still learning about our community helpers, and we talked about doctors, teachers, firemen and farmers during circle. We also took the corn that we sprouted last week and planted it in our garden. Some of the kernels had sent out really long roots, and we talked about the roots and the shoots of the plants. The children loved helping me loosen up the dirt and add compost to it. Then we carefully placed the sprouts in the ground. Hopefully they will continue to grow!

In the afternoon Ms. Abby came for yoga. As always, they had a wonderful time stretching like butterflies, jumping up and down, and giving big hugs. 

After snack we brought out some play dough and some sticks to use for "construction." They all really got into sticking the sticks into the play dough and making different little formations. It was so much fun to see them explore these materials. 

Have a great night!
