Terrific Thursday!

Our Thursday began inside, as we brought out the play dough and awesome tools! Ben, Ivy, Alanna, Koichi, Theo, and Paislie were working hard, poking, bending, and pulling the play dough, attempting to make animals! Alanna focused hard as she worked with the scissors, Ben used a pick to make “tracks” on his play dough, and Theo and Asher really wanted to make “pancakes”, patting the play dough down, flattening it. Cate filled in for Jackie today, and when she arrived, we made our way to the carpet to read a book and have circle time! Theo suggested we read his favorite book, “There’s a Nightmare in my Closet”! So we all sat around, and pointed out the monsters in the closet! Theo then explained to everyone, there were 2 monsters at the end, not one! As we ended the book, the kiddos all got up and made their way to the table for snack! We quickly transitioned outside, to enjoy this beautiful weather! Ms Toni brought out new plants that needed to be planted and we got to work! Teo, Theo, Paislie, and Ben all wanted to help pull weeds, and crush up soil and dirt, searching for earth worms and roly-polies! We then planted broccoli, cabbage, brussel sprouts and more! They were very gentle and loving to the plants, and we all said “We love you plants, and hope you grow big”! Once all was planted, we made our way inside for lunch and transition to nap!

After nap, we got ready for Spanish and snack! Ms Leona came in, and put on a CD to sing and dance to! She then showed us her bag of awesome instruments! Teo used the bongos; while Theo sat back observing, Paislie banged on a big drum, while Ben shook the bells, Alanna shook the maracas, Ivy used a tambourine, and Asher was clinging the chime! We closed out Spanish, sang goodbye, then made our way to the table for snack! We cleaned up, got shoes on and marched outside to bask in the amazing afternoon weather!

Much Love

Dom and Jackie
