Ocean Daze

Happy Tuesday everyone!

Welcome to another fabulous week at the GS. I hope that everyone had a lovely 3 day weekend. This week we are focusing on the ocean. Today we spent time reading books that our friends brought in to share with the class. We talked about water, sand, and different types of fish that you find in the ocean. Tula shared her stuffed dolphin and Magdalen brought in some seashells for everyone to explore. We had an extra long circle time examining shells; feeling the different textures and looking at all the pretty colors. We even put our ears up against them to see if we could hear the ocean.

During our outside time we got down and dirty with some paint. We used blue and green paint to create the ocean. Everyone was really excited to get their hands nice and dirty. It was also nice to focus on two colors during painting; a good review on blue and green. After painting we filled up the water sensory table with water and soap and washed our hands and bellies!

In the afternoon we had yoga with Chelsea. Abby is sick so she could not be here today. Chelsea was very nice and in tune with the kids interests. She brought a tibetan singing bowl to class for everyone to take turns tapping and listening to the sound. We sang Old McDonald and a few of our regular songs before tapping the singing bowl one more time. All of our friends were so sweet and nice to Chelsea; they even gave her hugs at the end of yoga like they do with Abby. It was really adorable.
