Once upon a time there was teacher who never called children “bad.” She never even said that what they DID was bad. She never said that anything was BAD. Then one day during clean up she laughed and said, “Oh no…the Family Corner is BAD.” Why in the world did she say that?
Read on to find out why she said it was bad, the teapot mystery, the changing tree and our triple T snack along with an update on our treehouse.
Why did Ms Kristin say the Family Corner was bad?
Because it was so messy it made her laugh. We played hard in this corner today!
We talked about what I meant: that the mess was so big I called it “so bad.” Making a mess is never bad, being messy isn’t bad. I used the word “bad” to mean “a big challenge.” Bonus: these kids know how to clean up quickly and effectively!
What did Henry R bring that matched our song?
A real teapot with a handle and a spout!
We had just finished singing the song “I’m a Little Teapot” (and debating the language like curious preschoolers will) before Show and Tell.
We did the telling part of Show and Tell on the steps inside, then did the showing part outside! When we went outside we found out that Henry had something in the teapot as well.
What are the pink things on your Spring Tree?
Apple blossom flowers! We looked at all the phases of an apple tree during Circle Time and compared them to our book from September about Apple Farmer Annie before making our own Spring trees.
Look at those light green baby leaves and pale pink flowers.
What did you do with your tropical umbrella today?
Malcolm and Max brought tropical fruit cups, turkey on tortillas and toffee filled chocolate bars. Thank you for the tasty treats!
Some friends used their umbrella as a toothpick to eat the fruit, some put them in their cup, some put them in their backpack right away.
Treehouse update:
So far we have toys, snacks, drinks, cups, a broom, pet fish, a fan, a steering wheel, a trampoline, furniture and more.

Pictures of things to show their siblings at home.
Believe it or not there are 5 children in the above photo.
We were gifted a cardboard house from a former preschooler and church friend, Dominic. It has been so very busy and a bit like a clown car with how many friends can fit inside! This week we have markers inside so there is a lot of scribble work going on.
