Community: we sang our favorite songs, read our written names on the wipe off board and did jumps and karate kicks one by one, we read The Very Hungry Caterpillar, Does a Kangaroo Have a Mother, Too?, I Hate my Bow, and our new favorite, No, David. We discussed how to use our new miniature wipe off boards and wipe off markers. We talked about the word "hate", and thought of some more appropriate ways to say that we didn't like something.We also discussed all of the wonderful rain last night, and how fire ant piles are evident after a rain storm.
Fine Motor: writing and drawing on wipe off boards, drawing with our new fine point markers, pouring water from a small pitcher into a bowl, then refilling and trying again!
Art: painting
Pretend: cooking in the play kitchen with new food, playing king and queen--dressing up, building a huge farm with all of our play animals and our two barns
Cooking: made tuna salad for lunch, set the table and handed out napkins
Outside: wore boots and enjoyed squishing and splashing in the mud and the wet grass. We found a couple of fire ant piles that emerged overnight. We enjoyed a game of chase, which made us very thirsty for our water bottles.
Notes: Splash Day was cancelled since it still looked like it might rain. We were able to purchase almost an entire garage full of great Montessori and preschool materials from a school that closed recently in Austin. The children really love all of the new surprises around school!
Breakfast: peanut butter banana shake, buttered English muffin
Lunch: tuna salad, toasted whole wheat bread, baby carrots, peaches, milk
Snack: granola, vanilla yogurt, water
