Cloudy Friday

Ahhh, it was a great start to our Friday outside on the playground. Toni brought out the boombox for some awesome Yo Gaba Gaba jams. Every one was super excited to skip, jump, run, wiggle, dance, and STOP! Jasper, Koichi, Ben, Paislie, Joey had a great time. We went in for snack. When snack was done, we went back outside and Teddy came to visit. Alanna, Jasper, Teo, Ben, Wren, and Jasper had fun chasing him around and petting him softly. Annabelle spent lots of time observing, Ivy was busy hoarding objects, and Koichi was pushing hula hoops around while Teddy was out. Later, Cherokee brought out some purple water with soap and every one had fun using sponges and cups to play with the water. Then, we all settled down to read another book that Teo's family brought for us. This one was about a garded.  Every one sat down to read, listen, and identify plants, animals, and colors in the pictures. Before we went in, we had some fun music time on the guitar and sang If You're Happy and You Know it.

We went in for lunch and nap. After nap, every one had a chance to play with playdough. We shaped the playdough to be the first letter of every one's names, and then let every one use popsycle sticks and connecting cubs to stamp, cut, and mush their playdough. Wren, Alanna, and Annabelle spent much of their time observing and talking about the first letter of their name. Ivy got busy making many small pieces. Paislie made many small worms. Teo, Joey, and Ben wanted to make balls over and over. Koichi, Jasper, and Paislie stayed focused on their playdough longer than every one. Finally, we headed outside. Alanna's mom, Erika, said "hi" to every one from the window. The day came to a close. It was a happy friday.


Love,
