Girls just wanna have FUN!

Today on this terrific Thursday it was all about the girls!  This morning we started outside exploration with an obstacle course Leina and Paige made to try and stay out of the "lava" on the playground!  We set up yoga mats and trays to get from one end of the playground to the other!  The girls did a very good job and didn't touch the lava one time! Mrs. Jackie brought out a book to read to all the kiddos in the Toddler and Shining Stars.  All of the classes enjoyed our snack of watermelon and apples together on the playground!  How special! The kiddos absolutely love eating snack outside and enjoying the weather.  Once we all finished snack we continued our outside play. All the girls played as if we were a family; Leina was the mom, Colette and Paige were babies and sisters.  

We decided to come inside to do Show and Tell.  Colette brought in a puzzle of farm animals and a make up brush she said she uses to clean her face.  Paige brought in a plastic sword that has magical powers, and Leina brought her phone and showed us a new feature the phone has which is the camera.  She took many pictures of us on her phone. :)  After Show and Tell the girls wanted to do the puzzle that Colette brought.  We showed an amazing amount of teamwork when we put the puzzle together, so much so that we did the puzzle multiple times.

We then moved to the art table where we began our time with drawing pictures individually then glued kernels made out of tissue paper on our cobs of corn.  Eventually we will make a cornucopia as apart of our decorations for Thanksgiving! We cleaned up our area in the art center and made our way back outside.  While we were drawing and making our corn on the cobs we were listening to the Little Mermaid Soundtrack, the girls wanted to go outside to try and get Ariel's voice back from the witch!  

We came in early for lunch to prepare for the picnic we had on the deck.  The girls all ate most of their lunches, cleaned up their areas and continued to play "baby" on the deck.  Imaginations were flying with ideas and concepts learned through interactions with the younger kiddos at our school.  They love patting each other to sleep, preparing bottles, reading stories, and taking care of one another! These girls are going to make amazing mothers one day! :)

We had nap time in the Toddler room once again today, once we woke up from nap we came back in our room for a dance party! All the girls loved dancing and moving around to wake their bodies up! During our dance party we acted if we were birds that were hatching and flew around to the songs of The String Cheese Incident! After a few songs we sat down for snack and played a game of I Spy! 

 Mrs. Leona came for Spanish so we came back in our room to play in centers while the Toddlers had their time for Spanish.  When Mrs. Leona came in our room we had such a small group each girl got to pick what songs they wanted to sing!  Even though there were only 3 girls in Spanish today we let our voices be heard by singing and dancing extra hard because we had so much space to move and dance around!  

See everyone tomorrow!
Much love
