a real dream with real drumsticks was a pretty exciting part of d week show and tell.

a dictionary with body parts also proved exciting.  so is simply watching an older friend write.

just a few images not linked to anything but random preschool goodness.

i know grace and mercy have a lot to do with the wonder and safety that is preschool.  i know that we prepare spaces for children to explore in.  i know we can often sit back and watch them take those spaces over.  today i recognized how much there is to be grateful for.  two little boys found themselves in the middle of the fairly busy street that runs next to our playground.  thankfully one of the boys’ moms was driving by.  thankfully the oncoming truck stopped.

when i realized what had happened, talked with the mama, i made a plan.  i could promise that what happened today would never happen again.  i know where to stand.  i know where to make sure the kids are.

 

i am grateful it didn’t take tragedy to remember how easily accidents happen.  and how often grace and mercy do too.

we spent c week with the book corduroy.  since corduroy lost the button for his shoulder strap, we used buttons in our room.

there was a lot of scooping and sorting this week.

i taped colored paper to a piece of plexiglass (simply because that’s what was handy) for another sorting spot.

i think it is sad but true that there are no photos of the completed green overall project we did.

the children painted a big piece of paper green, then we cut it out to be little overalls.  there was already one button glued on.  then the children acted like lisa from the book and found corduroy another button.  mr. rob was the button store owner, i was the hot glue sewer.  good corduroy fun.

quite simply pieces of cut cardboard on a c shaped glue line makes a cardboard c…or even a cardboard capital c!

i love the look of these walking fingers…
