Welcomed Wednesday

We started off snack with the challenge of peeling our own bananas to eat! Every one worked hard figuring out how to get their fingers into the peel just right. Others (mainly Paislie) decided to hollow out the peel using her sharp teeth! Every one had the responsibility of putting their left over peel into the compost! Theo was the first to show us that we could dump all our left overs into the compost as well! Then, we made it to the rug to begin Circle time. Teo, Ivy, and Alanna started a beat for us and we sang the days of the week three times! We asked, "What's the weather?" and figured out that it was breezy and partly cloudy. Then, Joey and Koichi requested the shark song, which includes members of the family, like baby shark and Grandma and Grandpa shark! We swam away in a hurry and then had a dance party to Spanish music which would prepare us for the afternoon. We all had fun pretending to sleep as Jose Luis Arozco sang "ahora vamos a roncar" which means to snore! As soon as our dance party was over, we noticed large pieces of paper on the tables and some cylinders with holes in them and paintbrushes. We used the cylinders as stamps and rolled them in the paint! Every one got their focus face on working hard on their creation. One by one we washed hands and prepared to march outside.

Teo, Theo, Joey, and Koichi were the first to notice paintbrushes in the water sensory table outside, and soon every one had something to use. We all painted the fence, reaching for places that no one else had marked yet. We transitioned in for lunch and nap and every one was in a great mood. While we were eating, Ms. Leona came to sing songs with us. At first every one stayed in their seats, but by the time we got to "Mi Cuerpo" every one was stomping and clapping with the song. Sandy joined us at this time and we all danced around together. Joey and Koichi sang along to all the songs! When Ms. Leona left, we had another rockin' dance party to Jose Luis Arozco, we got our shoes on, and headed outside. Wow, what a productive day!
