Love the Sunshine

The sun was shining and really helped to keep a smile on our faces. 

Outdoor Classroom:  Mrs. Whiteman pretended that she was a sleeping giant.  The children would sneak up on her and wake her up.  Then she would chase them as they ran around the yard.  Not only did the children enjoy this game, but it kept them moving.  It was good to be outside!

Circle Time:  We read the story "Llama, Llama Learns to Share".  Many of the children said that they had heard that story before.  We also repeated the story "Pete the Cat and His Four Groovy Buttons".  It has become a fast favorite of the class.  We sang our fall songs before we got into line.

Snack Time:  Today was Cooking Day.  We gave each child a bagel, a butter knife (nothing sharp) and some whipped cream cheese.  The children were to open the bagel, spread on the cream cheese and enjoy.  It was harder than you think...some said that they had never used a knife to spread anything before today.  On Tuesday, Olive's mom came and helped us at school.  Thank you!

Free Play:  The children were given an opportunity to make a monster out of Play Doh.  Many children participated in the art activity today. 

Please remember to bring in Food Pantry items to the next class. 

Now that the construction is done, please use the Tanglefoot entrance for drop-off and pick-up.  Thank you for your cooperation during the long road work process.

Book orders are due by Thursday, November 21.  There are tons of great Christmas gift ideas in those catalogues.
