2 horns, green grass and a new reading nook: THURSDAY G WEEK

Our Thursday “Blue Day” Class welcomed November with play inside and outside today. It was their first time to notice all the things that switched from orange to brown around the room. We have kinetic sand that got a lot of use and then used our hands to be a pretend turkey! In our class, everyone’s hand had 4 fingers but this poem can be adapted to any hand shape.

4 little feathers on my back,

I gobble-gobble-gobble (x3)

and then I take a nap!

Here are 5 questions to learn more about today…

What G things that we have for snack today?

What did you put on your G to make it represent a goat?

What color is the new color of the month?

What kind of grass did you draw in your journal?

What did you get to take home from the playground today?

1. What G things that we have for snack today?

Green grapes, Teddy Grahams, and ghost cheese from Ella and Everett. We also had Halloween rice crispy treats from Grandma Bonnie and Cheerios from Zander. Thank you, friends!

2. What did you put on your G to make it represent a goat?

Horns! Then we discovered that Alfonso the goat in our book, Goat’s Coat, also has horns!

3. What color is the new color of the month?

Brown!

We had friends playing with the tiny brown things, the brown things in the tub table and making things with her brown collage supplies. Someone found the new reading nook UNDER the Tiny Things table. So cozy!

4. What kind of grass did you draw in your journal?

There were a variety of techniques: shark teeth zig zags, up and down scribbles, coloring in the pre drawn grass shape and individual blades of grass.

5. What did you get to take home from the playground today?

A gourd and a pumpkin!

Thank you to Grandma Brenda and Grandpa Kelven for bringing them to us from Stutzman Garden Center! There was a lot of play with our gourds in hand as well…rolling on the pumpkin, building the playhouse, walking on benches and more.
