Dinosaurs and Diggers, Oh My!

Beginning our last Monday of February outside with the beautiful weather identifying those trees with new leaves! Ms toni and mrs Jackie went around giving lessons on some new toys that were outside, we all took turns watering the garden with our new squirt bottles, Teo and Theo were especially excited to carry around their butterfly bottles. We made our way in for hand washing, snack, and potties, before starting circle time/centers. The letter of the week is "D", so we focused a lot of our conversation on words that start with the letter D, and creating a story/rhyme using The letter D! Ms Jackie then sat with all my friends and read a book on Dinosaurs, one of our favorites! We talked about herbivores and carnivores, spiny Dinosaurs and long tailed dinosaurs. We closed it out with days of the week and our fun weather song! Since the letter of the week is D, we made our way to table to explore with play Dough! Koichi, Theo, Olive, and Ivy were at one table while Asher, Alanna, Teo, and Ben were at the other. Noah and Paislie were busy cooking in the kitchen! :) Theo wanted to make a pancake while koichi just wanted to smash and tear it apart, Olive followed along, patting the play dough and twisting it in half, Ivy pinched off small pieces and made small balls with it. Asher and Teo were busy in the construction area, exploring the digger, dump truck, and race cars. It was soon after, time to clean up and wash hands for lunch.

We woke up from nap, routinely did potties and milk, and our favorite, books! By the time most of our friends were dressed ms Abby was making her to the room for some afternoon yoga! We all sat Criss cross apple sauce, as we say, and began to sing. We did our favorite, ring around the yogi, and this time tried airplane pose with both legs! Many friends were successful, while a few did tree pose, another favorite pose of the kiddos. We closed out with breathing exercises, then said goodbye, and sat at the table for a yummy snack before heading outside to end the day!

Much love
Dom and Jackie
