Tuesday and Wednesday at School, 9/22 and 9/23/09

Two rainy days are welcomed after a long hot summer, but they certainly have created a lot of mud--we like to think of it as an opportunity to put on our rubber boots! PreK enjoyed working with playdough this morning, and both the Twos and PreK class baked bread to take home. The Twos helped wipe the table after playdough and before lunch, and Gavin even went to get the broom and dust pan! The Toddler group loved having the windows open in their classroom, listening to the rain and feeling a cool breeze on their skin. They had a step stool available so they could see out the window a little better! They were able to play with bread dough as a sensory activity. PreK enjoyed yoga and indoor activities with Tabitha this afternoon. Needless to say, these days are made for sleeping. Everyone wonders how we get all the children to sleep, and how the little ones who still sleep in cribs at home do on our nap mats. Enjoy a few snapshots of nap time!

Oh, and our staff is exceptional and so loving and appropriate--thanks to them for making the children's days good, rain or shine!
