AM Snack: "clean out the pantry day"--organic raisin bran, organic Z bars, Cheerios, graham crackers, water
Lunch: Asian noodles--roast chicken, organic spaghtetti, school-grown zucchini, organic milk
PM Snack: organic popcorn and trail mix, water

Infant Room: Today we opened the windows and enjoyed the sound of the falling rain! We played with sensory bottles, sang "If You're Happy and You Know It" and "Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star".

Toddler Room: Our class loved watching the rain fall outside the classroom window. They laughed at the water pouring from the gutter. The children built with blocks, read several books, and ate a huge lunch--we love Asian noodles with chicken!

Twos Room: The class enjoyed pretending to go on a bear hunt, searching for a bear. The class played "pow wow teepee time". They loved wearing boots and the mud outside. We sang "Oh Where oh where has my little do gone?". We had a short lunch because we were so sleepy!

PreK: The class sang ocean songs and did ocean fingerplays. We made sand starfish for our craft today as well as an "ocean in a bottle". Lots of pretend play today! We had a class full of horses. Thank, Sarah Justice, for sewing halters for pretend play! They are a hit! Thanks to Siler for bringing champagne grapes ("baby grapes") to share with her friends.

Summer Camp: Today Allison Sutton helped the children sew their own aprons, with a sewing machine! Thanks for your patience and planning, Allison. The kids are really proud of their creation. We tended tended to Queso after the rain, and did a little school clean-up--sweeping the walkways and such. The kids enjoyed volleyball before rest time. Lots of pretend scenarios made the day fun, especially with our toddler friends visiting this afternoon!
