Today we listened to the story of Noah and God's promise to never destroy the Earth by flood again.
We had another very busy morning. We enjoyed time in the bat cave, spray painting outside, a science experiment, and a special visit from a storyteller. Our outdoor time provides some great opportunities to work our gross motor skills. The girls love to swing, climb, balance on garden borders, and even climb UP slides. Back inside we gathered with the Giraffe and Zebra classes to share chapel time. Each Friday we gather with the song "Come, Let Us Worship". One of our praise and worship songs this month is called, "Absolutely Nothin'". The girls are loving it and I caught them singing it throughout the day. You might notice them singing along to this catchy tune at home and wonder where they heard it. The link is below for both songs. Today we listened to the story of Noah and God's promise to never destroy the Earth by flood again. After chapel we returned to the room for some art. Today we decided to take art outside. We spray painted bat silhouettes. While each girl had her turn at the spray paint, the others had water bottles which they used to water the plants in the garden. Squeezing those water bottles make for a nice fine motor workout! As our art was drying outside we headed in for some science. Yesterday, I had mixed some baking soda and water into a moist paste. I hid mini erasers in the shape of bats, spiders, and webs inside and allowed them to dry overnight. The girls were tasked with freeing the "gems" inside. They could used vinegar and pipettes to "melt" away the baking soda. I did tell them that if they found a surprise inside they were allowed to keep it. Most chose to put their treats in their lunch box for safe keeping. We cleaned up and headed to the special guest Storyteller. Last year the Tobin Arts Center piloted this early education outreach program and we were fortunate enough to be one of the test schools. Our staff was so impressed with the quality of the program and the developmentally appropriate material we were excited to welcome them back this year. The focus of today's presentation was to tap into the children's storytelling and imagination. "Ms. Pocket" came and told the girls a wonderful, interactive story which required their participation and use of their imaginations. I think they all enjoyed going on her adventure. On our way back to the room we stopped for a quick photo opportunity. Next week we will be talking about feelings as we dive into Happy Monsters Week. The firefighters will also make their visit on Wednesday. I'm looking forward to having all the girls back together. We missed our friends who were traveling this week.

Why Blog?Here you will find little snippets of our days together. When my children were in preschool and would come home I would always ask, "So, what did you do today?". All they ever said was, "Played." That didn't tell me much. I hope this blog will be a place to share what we have done and help you ask more directed questions of your child. You will see first hand just what we do after you kiss your little one goodbye in the morning. It will also be a great place to visit and see just how much your child has grown and learned throughout the year. Archives
