Overheard today...
"Cupcakes are ready! Hot!"
"Blow the candles."
"The cupcakes fell on the floor. Awe!"
"I can cut the cake."
"It's the baby's birthday."
"Beep! Cake's ready."
"Look out this is hot."
"Can I try the oven this time?"
Wow! I can't even begin to express the amazing growth I have seen in this class. Today the dramatic play was alive and well. The children were engaged and communicating with one another like I haven't seen with this group before. I had to call Mrs. Kunkle in to see. The conversations with one another were precious and watching the kids play with the props and immerse themselves in another world was inspiring. Some took on the role of mommy or daddy while others were bakers and cake decorators. If you are looking for Christmas ideas anything that inspires this imaginative play will be a big hit. We also enjoyed some fun fine motor work on the trays. We also painted birthday cakes for Jesus. And added special royal sprinkles for our new born King! Keeping with the theme of babies, I thought it would be fun to have a baby food tasting. To my surprise the boys and girls were really into it. We tried carrots, sweet potato, applesauce, blueberries, and a combo of pineapple, pear, and avocado. As you can imagine the fruits were a hit and not so much with the vegetables. I had a story and play dough time planned for the end of the day but the children were drawn back into more dramatic play so we went with it. Overheard today... "Cupcakes are ready! Hot!" "Blow the candles." "The cupcakes fell on the floor. Awe!" "I can cut the cake." "It's the baby's birthday." "Beep! Cake's ready." "Look out this is hot." "Can I try the oven this time?" We will continue with our play on Friday and Ms. Rebecca will be joining us again. We will also engage in a really fun exploration as we dissect diapers to see what is inside them and how much liquid they can hold!

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
