The middle of the week!

            Today Olive, Ancel, Clara, Hunter, and Noah arrived on the playground. When we went inside for snack we noticed that Sophie’s mom, Anne, had dropped off some photos of Sophie, so while our friends sat and waited to wash their hands we all looked at the photos together and talked about them. Sophie was so proud.

            We did the calendar and weather during snack and circle time afterwards. During circle time we talked about sheep, read books about them, looked at pictures of them, showed the tots the sign for sheep, and made sheep sounds. We even sand Old MacDonald had a Sheep a few times. Then Daniel the Dragon puppet gave everybody kisses on their tummies! Then we cleaned up and went to the deck.

            We went to the deck and Ancel arrived at school! He rode the eggplant and Hunter played with a scoop she found. Olive received tickles from Arielle and Noah played with an alligator toy. Clara relaxed on a boppy and Sophie relaxed in one of the red chairs. Later on, Olive, Clara, and Noah took pictures with Arielle, Ancel gave Clara hugs, Sophie rode bikes, and Hunter cuddled with Cherokee.

            During lunch all of our friends stayed in their chairs the entire time and everybody fed themselves very nicely. When our friends woke up from nap they stayed quiet on their nap mat until nap was over. Then they ate snack and did some stamps with Cherokee and Lizzie while Arielle went to Kinder Blossom. When Arielle returned (thirty minutes later) Leona arrived and we had Spanish class. Usually our friends eat snack while Spanish is taking place but today we sat in the chairs at the table and participated without eating, which was very successful! We’re so proud of how our tots are maturing and becoming more and more responsible and grown up. J
