Ben's 4th Birthday (May 26-30)

Monday:  No school in honor of Memorial Day

Tuesday:  We started our short week back with a rainy Tuesday.  This morning we worked with Play-Doh as all our friends arrived to school.  We then had group snack and Montessori work time.  Jasper, Ben and Dax focused their time working with shapes with MIss Lizzie, while Asher, Teo and Sophie worked on puzzles with Dom Dom.  We then broke into our small groups. Miss Arielle was out today, Miss Liz was subbing, and there was only 1 Kinder Blossom kiddo here so they combined with Miss Lizzie's group.  We discussed what the meaning of Memorial Day is what activities we did to celebrate. Dom's group brainstormed words beginning with Yy. Miya said she saw fireworks!  This afternoon we decorated rocks as little bugs and leaves to hang in our classroom.  We also enjoyed yoga with MIss Liz.

Wednesday:  We welcomed to sunshine and Miss Arielle back this morning out in the backyard.  After snack and Montessori work time we broke into our small groups for Show and Tell.  Colette's Show and Tell was a story about her being in San Angelo and hearing a tornado siren!  We are all so glad they are safe and sound back in Austin!  This afternoon we did not have Spanish because Miss Daphne is in Mexico for the week.  Dom Dom gathered the Sunflowers on the deck to practice the songs we have learned with Miss Daphne.

Thursday:   We spent the morning outside, enjoying snack with the pre tots and toddlers on the picnic table along with some water coloring,  Kinder Blossom went to the deck to have a Rody party while Lizzie and Dom's group had a scavengtar hunt for objents in the backyard that were yellow.

Friday:  This Friday was picture day.  We started off our day inside so we could stay fresh and clean for our pictures.  Once the Sunflowers had taken all their pictures we headed outside to run around until lunch.  Paige's dad, Skip came to visit us while we were outside.  He put on a puppet show for the kiddos.  All the Sprouts absolutely loved it and couldn't stop laughing.  This afternoon we had a dance party to makeup for not having one this morning.

Have a great week!
