Missing them already

Hey guys!!! It has only been 2 days of not being around our little guys and I already miss them like crazy. It’s crazy to know that they are so close and yet they seem so far. It makes me sad to think that I won’t be able to see them as much as I’d like. On the other hand, I got to be with them all day today and will be finishing out the rest of this week with them; yay!!!

We began our morning with outside drop-off, and despite the fact that it was a little bit chilly out everyone was in good spirits. Hunter and Wynn both played with the mini kitchen and were placing little bowls in the little oven area. Genevieve hopped onto one of the push cars and tried scooting herself across the mulch on the playground; it was a struggle but she kept with it for a good while before going to something else. Jackson played peek-a-boo with me while on the playscape and would poke his head out at me a few times. When Noah arrived he went straight for the radio flyer push-car; it’s usually one of the favorites among the kiddos. Olive arrived shortly after and played in the sandbox for a while and practiced pouring sand into small containers. Sophie was being an awesome little helper and was pretending to sweep the playground using the little broom.

Afterwards, we all headed in for snack. During snack we went over the days of the week and sang our days of the week song. When I asked what day it was today Genevieve said, “Monday!” Once snack was done and everyone cleaned up we were ready to head back outside for some chalk art! This time I placed the chalk in some water before handing it to them and the color and texture of the chalk was a little bit different for them. They all seemed to have a blast coloring on the wall outside on the playground. Once they were all done with the chalk activity they all dispersed and found other things to do on the playground.

Also, Miss Arielle spent her day with the primary class so she can learn their routine and Mr. Nick spent his day with us! The kiddos loved having Mr. Nick around, Sophie, Wynn and Genevieve even tried saying his name.

In the afternoon we will have some snack and then wait for Miss Leona to come and sing Spanish songs with us! Afterwards, we will be gluing some pasta to paper for our sensory/art activity. Then we will end our day back outside and enjoy some free play.

Tomorrow we will be using paint for our art and playing with soapy water for our sensory activity. We will also be going over all of the body parts we have learned so far which include head, nose, eyes, ears, mouth, shoulders, arms, and hands.

I look forward to seeing everyone tomorrow!
