Diggers and Race Cars!

IT was a happy Monday as all my friends arrived; glad to be back from their Thanksgiving break! As friends arrived, we talked about their thanksgiving and all the fun they had with mom, dad, and other family who were here to celebrate! As soon as Jackie arrived we marched inside for snack and circle time! Jackie brought out the “Race Car Alphabet Book” and found a seat on the carpet, as friends were all done and washed their hands; they made their way to the carpet. Everyone was entranced as Jackie went through each letter, telling the story, which used words that began with the letters of the Alphabet, it was fun and we even started a game, of naming the letters! Once she was all done, we looked at the different race cars, naming them and their colors. Our friend, Ben, was also very excited, because he brought a digger from home to show and share with his friends. And as we got outside, Ben approached Gage, our pre tot friend, and showed him the digger, and how it worked! So cute!  We then talked about our community at Green Sprout and how we can all help out! I had several friends ask to help water the garden, and explained to them that that are in fact a way to help out! They found cups, buckets, watering cans, and about almost anything you could put water in to help water the garden, plants, and trees. We also talked about picking up trash to help our community and environment stay clean! We soon marched in for hand washing, lunch, and nap.

After nap, friends sat on the potty, had cuddles, and found fun books to read. They all soon found their place at the table for some water painting art! Annabelle, Koichi, Alanna, Paislie, Ivy, and Ben all sat at one table, while Wren, Teo, Theo, Jasper, Joey, and Asher sat at the other. They sat, focused, on their painting and paint brush. Ben and Koichi sharing colors, using brown, black, and green, While Wren discovered how much more interesting it is to use his fingers. Ivy drew lots of blue circles, Alanna and Annabelle explored all of the colors, and Paislie felt the need for a little face paint J  They sat working busy for quite a while before most friends said all done, and washed their hands ready for some snack. We sat and had snack, then got our shoes on. We marched outside for free play/pick up!

Much Love

Dom and Jackie
