THURSDAY - First official day of Splash days!

outside play in the baby pools, sprinklers, and outdoor sensory tubs! Friends patiently sat on the edging of the playground, and listened while Ms Toni gave directions and explained


After nap, we joined on the carper for secret sack, then made our way to the art area for our daily Art Project! today Ms Arielle set up cars, trains, and trucks, some paint and paper, and had friends make "Tire Tracks" with their vehicle. We recognized the smaller tracks compared to the larger tracks and which vehicles made which track!

FRIDAY -
Splash Day and Dance Party! We started outside, exploring the garden, went in for a quick snack, then came out for some Splash fun!!! Paige chose to hula hoop before getting in the water, while Jasper, Byron, Miya, Addie, Ivy Hank, Teo, Dax, Elliot, and Tristan opted to hang underneath the Sprinkler. Friends migrated from astro turf to baby pool exploring their options in water sensory. Some friends found cups or buckets to fill up with water!
after nap, everyone got their napmats and loveys in their cubbie, then we got ready for family meeting time. We discussed how it was Dax's last day at Green Sprout and how Elliot's birthday was this past week!  Dax chose to make cookies for his last day, so Ms Liz found a vegan raw cookie recipe, which included almond meal, rolled oats, agave nectar, chocolate chips and some vanilla extract. I went around the table, having friends take turns mixing the dough, then when it was all ready, i passed it out and friends got to use their hands to form it in any shape they wanted. After we had a delicious vegan cookie, Elliot who made sugar free cupcakes, and a few vegan for our non dairy friends, went around and shared his cupcakes, as we sang Happy Birthday to him before heading outside to end the beautiful week!!
