Our sweet Wednesday class was together for THE FIRST TIME in 2024 today. We welcomed a little brother who turned three and celebrated another friend turning four! Due to the cold wet weather we were inside all day, but you’ll see how we can take care of our bodies’ needs for movement!
Some exciting moments:
Exciting #1: completing the huge Solar System puzzle:
Exciting #2: moving all the lights from the fireplace to the Tub Table:
Exciting #3: tending to a hurt pet:
Exciting #4: building a tower taller than self…3 stages:
Exciting #5: discovering our second wave board:
Exciting #6 and #7: standing on a chair to make a taller sculpture AND getting a movie of it falling:
Exciting #8: jumping on the pole and sliding down:
Exciting #9 watching the birthday candles change colors
Read on for 5 more questions and answers about today:
What project did you do today?
There were a lot of different things going on at the tables today. We had watercolor painting, alphabet project gluing and some Names and Numbers writing.
Where can you run in the classroom whenever you want?
On the running track! Today we had a lot of runners with one of our youngest in the lead.
In our ongoing talk about nighttime and discussions about it being dark, one friend remarked on fog also making it hard to see. That prompted me holding a white silk scarf for them to run through. Over and over and over!
What ocean thing did we have for snack?
Nori seaweed! This was a first for some children and a favorite for others.
With 2 birthday candles lit, we also had Nuts and Nibbles, (pea)Nut filled M&Ms and birthday cookies along with honey Nut Cheerios. Thank you Max and Malcolm!
What did Ms Kristin bring over for Show and Tell so things could roll or slide?
The wooden board! We had a lizard, cars, cheetahs, helicopters and lego creations move on it. The other things had a smooth place to rest for the picture.
During Journal Time, what did you say you liked to do at night?
The answers varied from sleeping with mama (which inevitably brought a smile) to staying up all night playing.
We ended the day with night time books and Journal Time at the Circle Time rug. The second to last page of our book about Lala shows her reading a book. There were great expressions of recognition at the illustration of “Goodnight Moon”…I didn’t catch it on video, but just before this moment one friend had called out, “Raise your hand if you know this book!”
I say it all the time, we’ve got a school full of future teachers in the making.
