Sophie and Byron's last week

Monday:  Welcome back everyone! We have two visitors with us this week. Leina and Maya, both Green Sprout graduates, and both older sisters of kiddos in the Sunflower room.  We are all so excited they are spending the week with us!  We had snack outside on the picnic table this morning with the Pre-Tots then headed inside for Montessori work time.  Kinder Blossom and Lizzie's group were given presentations on new Montessori works, therefore extended their work time while Dom's group were introduced to the letter Rr.  This afternoon we enjoyed yoga with Miss Liz, practicing animal poses with partners.


Tuesday:  What a beautiful, cool morning we had today!  We enjoyed a picnic outside once again this morning, taking advantage of the gorgeous weather.  We then headed inside for Montessori work time.  During work time the Sun Flowers were still exploring and receiving presentations on the new Practical Life lessons we made.  We then broke into our groups to begin working on our Father's Day gifts.  All the kiddos were very eager begin making their gifts for Dad.  This afternoon after nap we began an art project.  We colored jellyfish, octopus, and sea horses to put in our ocean scene.  We then enjoyed yoga with Miss Vanessa.

Wednesday:  This morning we cut out Montessori work time short so we could have time for Show and Tell and to finish up our Father;'s Day gifts in our small groups.  This afternoon Major stumped everyone with the item he put in the Secret Sack, even all the teachers!  It was a paint brush! Great job Major!  Before Spanish we began to paint our box that we are going to make into our Ocean scene.  During Spanish we continued to learn new hello and goodbye songs with MIss Daphne. Also continued to learn our body parts in Spanish.

Thursday: This morning  during Splash day we dedicated part of our time to discovering which objects would sink and which objects would float.  After snack the Sunflowers picked objects out around our classroom to take outside for our sink and float activity.  This afternoon we made good bye cards for Sophie and Byron and glued noses, eyes, ears, and hair on paper with MIss Daphne as we sang songs.

Friday:  This is Sophie and Byron's last day at Green Sprout.  Byron requested a black light dance party.  Miss Toni spent the morning with is  and lead the Sunflowers in stretches to get our bodies ready for the black light dance party.  Byron and Sophie both wanted to dance to their favorite, Gongham Style.  During our dance party Miss Toni recorded us for a music video!  We all loved watching ourselves in the video.  We then headed outside for Splash day!  The Sunflowers had the whole backyard to ourselves for awhile.  
This afternoon we all gave Sophie and Byron lots of extra love.  

Have a great week everyone!

Love, Miss Lizzie
