Imagination Exploration Thursday

Thursday was a fun day. We went inside for snack and the show and tell. Miya had a giraffe that walked and talked which was the biggest hit during S&T, some friends just wanted to play with Merly, the giraffes name. The weather was great so we did a lot of guides activities outside after show and tell. We pretended the log outside was a school bus and we were leaving the school and going to the park, and the playscape was a big playground. Then we would come back to the log and head out to another destination. We used most of our early outside time doing things as a class which was a lot of fun for everyone.
With the conclusion of outside time we went in for lunch and nap.
One by one our friends started waking up and had the choice to read or do their notebooks at the big table until all our friends were awake. Once they were up we did an art activity to draw simple shapes like circles, triangles and squares. The point of this exercise was to work on the muscles in the hands and the coordination to draw strait lines. After a few tries the shapes either improved or frustration set in so we moved on to another shape. Thursdays we also have Spanish at 3:30 and so miss Leona came and read two books in Spanish asking what the English equivalent is to certain words. After half an hour of Spanish we went outside for our outdoor exploration.
