The Mellow Monday

We started out the day with a load of freeplay, hangin' out outside in the beautiful weather. Every one took turns calling family members on Theo's phone from home (an old cell-phone)! We decided that the weather was so nice, and every one was having such a great time, that we needed an outdoor picnic. We enjoyed a magnificent snack of raspberries, bananas, and oranges. Every one inhaled their snack and Wren mentioned the compost, so Dom invited Wren, Joey, and others who expressed interest to throw their banana peels into the compost! Later, some of our guys climbed onto the stairs at the entrance, so we decided to take some class photos! Then we march march marched to the deck where we drove cars and sang songs. We brought out the tunnel for some fun. Every one was in a great mood.

We went in for lunch and nap. When every one woke up, we blew up a bunch of balloons and had an awesome balloon dance party. We had fun throwing them up, and yelling out the colors of the balloons in the air. Teo showed his friends how to play catch with the balloons! After a couple of balloons popped, Joey said "balloons pop....and bubbles pop!" Annabelle took this time to solve some puzzles, and Asher spent much of this time vacuuming. After our dance party, we washed and sat for snack. Toni came in to "play pictionary" and talk about some words. She drew a circle on a board and asked the class what it was, every one screamed out "CIIIIRCLE!!" She drew lines around the circle and it became a sun! She drew a triangle and a circle to make a fish. Jasper and Ivy were very excited to say "sssssssssss" and "fffffffffff" for the class, and we all had fun playing this game.

ahh, it was a very lovely day!

Love,
Jackie and Dom
