Thursday, October 2

Community: We had a shortened community time today in order to allow each child plenty of time to create their pizzas. Books read include Olivia the Pig, Chicka Chicka Boom Boom, sang circle songs
Fine Motor: The children used their hands as well as a rolling pin to stretch out their pizza dough, folding silks and nap blankets, Montessori materials with pegs of different length and circumference
Outside: The children created drums using cardboard cylinders and marched around the yard, building roads and trails for the dump trucks, swinging, cooking and selling food at the play kitchen
Cooking: The children each took turns rolling out their own pizza crusts and topping them for lunch. Iris set the table for lunch and the children served each other during mealtime.
Indoor: Created capes using play silks, built a farm using blocks and animals, cooking at the play kitchen--today's specialty was tacos

Breakfast: raisin bran, organic milk, bananas
Lunch: homemade cheese pizzas, mixed vegetables, tropical fruit salad, organic milk
Snack: veggie sticks and dip
