Turkey time!

Hello friends!!! We started our morning outside in the backyard as usual with all of our school friends and enjoyed some free-play. Ancel wasn’t able to join us today and will not be here tomorrow as well because he is visiting family for the holidays. This morning Gage spent some time playing in the sandbox with his toddler friend Paislie; those two are becoming such good friends. Noah enjoyed some time rolling a little red ball down the ramp on the play-scape. Olive and Hunter seemed to be having their own little conversation underneath the climbing dome; it was so cute. Sophie walked around the entire playground waving and smiling at all of her friends and teachers. Shortly after, we all headed in for snack and circle time.

As we were walking in for snack our friend Wynn joined us. During snack we sang our “Days of the week” song and counted the number of days we are up to. After snack Wynn took interest in a large acorn that Miss Arielle brought in to show all of our friends. Then during circle time we sang our “Hello” song and talked about Turkeys. We also showed them pictures of different types of turkeys. Miss Arielle even brought in a very old book back from her childhood that had a picture of a turkey as well as other animals that we have introduced to them. Then it was time for us to head out to the deck.

While on the deck, little Miss Hunter played with the bead coaster toy that we have out there and it sounded to me like she was counting the beads, as she would move them. Sophie spent some time pushing around one of the little cars we have on the deck. Then the real fun began when I pulled out the bubbles. Once I started blowing the bubbles they all began to chase them and tried popping them. Olive wanted to try blowing the bubbles too, so I placed the bubble wand in front of her mouth and told her to blow. She did an excellent job and was very successful at blowing bubbles. Sophie and Noah wanted to try too, so I did the same for them. It was cute watching them trying to blow the bubbles. Noah just put his lips against the wand when I told him to blow, and Sophie tried putting the wand in her mouth every time I held it up to her. Wynn spent some time playing with one of the many balls we have out on the deck and throwing it. Gage walked around the deck with a bucket on his head and was doing his little growl, which I found very funny. It wasn’t long after before it was time to head back in for lunch and nap.

After nap we will be making hand turkeys and gluing feathers onto them for our art. Tomorrow we will continue to learn about turkeys and play with dry pasta for our sensory, and use watercolor for our art.

See you guys tomorrow, and if we don’t see you tomorrow, we wish you a very happy holiday and a safe return from your travels.
