Our clever Thursday class finished the day outside with the children doing another “undercover” safety practice by going to the fence. Little did they know what an incredibly important skill this is should I ever need them to all be in the same place at the same time.
Thursday class also welcomed in February with a lot of pink things! Despite my best plans, we ended up surprised when it was 11:45 and we were still cozy visiting around the snack table. This is after a busy morning and a very engaged Circle Time.
Read on to find out more about our orange mouths, ice cream for breakfast, geography in the bathroom and not enough ice skates.
Why did we keep saying “orange mouth” at Snack Time?
Because some friends would put the orange in their mouth and it looked like their mouth was an orange! We also worked with the concept that an orange is orange (whereas a banana is yellow, our cookies are brown…). Mind blowing!
We also had cookies, nutella and breadsticks from Scarlet! Thank you, Scarlet!
Our snack friends were very helpful with Grandma Bonnie today too:
How many limbs did you glue on your octopus today?
Check your backpacks to find out! We continued our important conversations on limb differences and at Circle Time, talked more about physical disabilities. I’m curious how your children will answer the next question…
What is happening in these pictures?
In short: In the first picture, if the worker had shoveled the ramp first, everyone could go in at once. In the second picture, the children had many ideas of what the teacher could do instead (get more skates or take turns so the octopus could have enough, etc). Watching their faces consider these concepts was beautiful.
Who said they’d be having ice cream for breakfast on Sunday?
Wilmer! During Show and Tell, friends can have an item to show or something to tell that Ms Kristin writes down. The upcoming treat of “ice cream for breakfast” got some surprised responses! Here are the rest of our Show and Tell things that we then got to see and hear in action outside:
Where is there a map at our preschool?
In the bathroom! Today I had the delight of overhearing Ms Brenda giving a spontaneous geography lesson in the bathroom while children were washing hands. This is the epitome of taking the opportunity! I only got a snippet of it but you’ll get the idea:
Happy Thursday, everyone!
