Happy Thursday Middle Toddler Families!
Lauren, Kyler, Nathan, Ben, Theo, MacKenzie and Rose all
made it to school in time for a delicious breakfast of Cheerios and bananas
this morning. We all ate a big breakfast
which gave us a great start to the day. After
cleaning our faces and hands, we grabbed our jackets to head outside to the
playground.
It was a little chilly this morning but we were happy to be
outside. Nathan, Ben and MacKenzie all
climbed onto the ship structure right away.
MacKenzie and Ben leaned out the windows to smile and wave at the
friends running by while Nathan turned the steering wheel and looked through
the telescope. Kyler and Theo sat down
under the tree. Kyler grinned and said
“Melissa, I’m just sitting here” and Theo said “I’m hanging out with
Kyler”. Lauren raced Claire down small
slide. Rose found a shovel and made big
piles of bark chips all around her on the ground.
After coming in for a quick milk break, we made our way back
outside for curriculum time. Today we
talked about our sense of smell. We made
scent cups with different smells for the kids to sniff. We combined all 4 of the toddler classes
together so that we could experience many different smells. We had a great variety; cinnamon, allspice,
vanilla, vinegar, lemon, lime, onion, and several different perfumes! We talked about how we smell with our noses
and practiced sniffing. Then we passed
around the cups and bowls and everyone had a chance to smell them.
After curriculum time we decided to head out on a buggy ride
to explore the neighborhood. We love to
get out and see new and different things.
We smiled and waved at people as they worked in their yards. We are quite charming as we make our way
around the neighborhood! We saw two
dogs, a cat, a boat and Mr. Tim’s class.
Soon it was time to head in for a little free play time and
lunch. We played with the wooden puzzles
and the hats before heading into the lunchroom.
Pictures will be posted tonight of our fun with hats this week! After a wonderful lunch of burritos and
oranges, we made our way back to the classroom for rest time.
This afternoon we will be rediscovering our mystery sensory
boxes from yesterday. We will feel
scratchy sand paper, soft cotton balls and light and soft feathers. Then we head outside for even more sensory
fun with the water table and the sandbox!
Have a wonderful afternoon and evening!
Melissa and Rebecca
