School Announcements: Don't forget the Evening of Indulgence this Friday night from 6:30-9:00. Enjoy a massage, a glass of wine, and appetizers--a great way to start the weekend!
The farrier came yesterday to work on the animals' feet--only Queso had a trim as Lily and Abby were having no part of it!
A sheep and two goats are coming soon courtesy of Dr. Vasut and arrangements by the Carter family. We are excited to meet them all! Our kittens, Peachy and Aurora, are getting more and more accustomed to people and are venturing futher from the feed barn each day. Queso is doing well, and has a bigger area in which to roam. Sir Benito and Milkshake, the new rabbits, are easily handled and loved lots of fresh veggies yesterday afternoon!
Thanks to Andrea Acosta, Lora Keane, and Stacy Wooster for all of the great donated crafting items! The kids are really enjoying all of the new treasures!
Highlights from the Infant Room: The children enjoyed riding in the pack and play crib to see the animals. Ali and Gage sat in Bumbo seats, and Alex held Gage's hand. Ali and Gage held on to the fence on the rabbit pen to get a closer look. We hope our friend Jack feels better soon! Liam, Mattvey and Landon from the PreK helped Caprice push the crib around the school grounds.
Highlights from the Toddler Room: We took a big wagon ride around the farm and visited all of the animals. We examined leaves on the play yard, crushing them in our hands. Kai enjoyed ringing bells outside from the center of the labyrinth. The teepee was lots of fun in our classroom. Vivian likes the soft soccer ball and scooting from place to place watching the activities of the classroom. When no one is looking, she plays and has a great time, but it's secret. Kai still loves Brown Bear, Brown Bear What Do You See? more than any other book!
Highlights from the Twos Room: Waylon, Gavin, and Mason enjoyed a wagon ride with Heather. They enjoyed exploring the texture and sound of the new dyed pasta in a sensory box. With Heather's help, the boys took time to craft with glue! Everyone was ready for a good lunch and a good nap!
Highlights from the PreK Room: Today the PreK was busy! Inside we read No David!, The Grouchy Barnyard, and The Story of the Gingerbread Man. We crafted with wooden sticks, glue, and some great pasta dyed by Liam's mom. Small groups of children took turns working with Mr. Jamie. We worked in small groups all morning with Michelle and Leslie! It was a busy day at farm school! Work inside included: chalk/chalkboards, wipe off boards and markers sorting, dress up, construction set, and pour/scooping/tongs with the great new pasta!
