Thursday!

Today Arielle was back (and still having issues uploading her photos from her android phone to a pc..advice, anybody?) She was feeling better today after experiencing a 24-hour bug (sore throat, fever, aches.)

We had three special visitors in our class today from the toddler room: Theo, Teo, and Alanna! They are getting used to our routine and did a great job of being part of the Shining Stars group. Our older friends did a great job at setting an excellent example of life in the primary room for them.

We reviewed the letter Mm box and watched the letter Mm video during morning snack (lots of friends were asking for it and already excited about letter Nn, which we will prepare for tomorrow.) Leina led circle time and we had a quick black light party afterwards, in which we admired our black light art from yesterday (now hung on the wall!) During the party kinder blossom hid sea shells on the deck, and after the party our friends searched for them. Then we all took them to the playground and kinder blossom re-hid them in the sanbox for the entire community (except the infants, who were sleeping) to find. All day we've been finding ways to pretend we are at the beach, and a seashell hunt was perfect!

After nap we wrote the letter Mm and decorated a banner for Rhys, who's last day at Green Sprout is tomorrow. We also enjoyed splash day and talked about the costumes we would like to wear tomorrow (it'll be another official costume day!) We look forward to all the partying we will do tomorrow and all the hugs and love we will be giving Rhys (we are going to miss him so much!)
