One, Two, Tuesday!

When I got to school this morning, I stuck my head out the window to see all our kiddos huddled under the dome! They were busy shooting a fun music video that Cherokee is putting together, where the classes will be featured doing every day activities! So much fun! Well, I guess the huddle made for some warmth, too, as this morning it was soooo cold! We came in early to begin our snack and wash up. Had a lovely circle time where we repeated yesterday's fun book Racecar Alphabet. Every one seems to be into this book. We all practiced driving (moving our hands on the steering wheel) honking (pushing our hand forward and saying beep beep) and turning on and off our head lights (opening and closing our hands). These guys are great drivers! We sang a few songs and quickly moved foward to our snow man creations using cotton balls! Teo was interested in shredding the balls, Theo made a big pile out of his, Paislie was busy picking off small pieces of cotton from her sticky hands, Joey had fun putting the top hat at the top of his snow man, and Alanna was just excited to peel off stickers and put them on her shirt. Jasper was interested in putting the cotton balls on his head, Asher was quickly ready to be all done, Wren was having a sensory experience, seeing how soft the cotton was, and Ivy of course, had her little focus face on and was really into the project. We continued with our projects as we got our jackets on and headed outside to search for small twigs that we will glue to our snowman. Then, some fun fun free-play, and every one came in for lunch and nap.

 Every one fell asleep a little later than usual, so we woke up a little later, had some free-play and dance party, ate, and got dressed to go outside!

A video, how intriguing! Another example of Green Sprout teachers going above and beyond...
The alphabet is really big around our house lately; Teo is singing the song and talking about letters all the time. Thanks for all the great ways you find to make it fascinating.
The snowman project pictures are super cute and it is so much fun to read how everyone's personalities emerge during a group art project (my little deconstructionist).
When we came to pick Teo up this afternoon, Scott looked out the classroom window in time to see Joey handing Teo a toy. He commented on what a sweet and sharing little boy Joey is. When we got outside, Teo was still playing with the toy, a little train car. He quickly wanted to go but informed us he needed to find Joey, and flipped the train over to show us his name written on the train. He found Joey, thanked him, and hugged him, and Joey smiled and hugged Teo back. I don't know which is sweeter, Joey voluntarily sharing his personal toy, or Teo being concerned to make sure he returned it to his friend. How blessed we are to be part of this community!
