Hello Parents!
We had just one main curriculum goal today, which was to have fun in the soap and water sensory table bin! But the unexpected curriculum and learning we had been just as fun! You’ll see what we mean if you keep reading!
This morning was full of help from our classroom! After manipulating some playdoh, we had our breakfast, then made our way out to the playground for early morning gross motor activity. But, a couple of our kiddos insisted that Jane’s brothers are to be helped out the door onto the playground! So, Jane took one of her brothers, while Mr. Tim took the other, both by the hand. She and Eli and continued to help her brothers battle through the tough times of being a toddler, and having to work so hard to reach their objective! :) Next, Clara came through the door with her patchwork elephant Elmer! It was a big hit in the class! :) Evie and Gabe came next, wanting to go potty after Gabe gobbled down the rest of his breakfast! So, we went potty and got an unexpected visit from a very unexpected guess- a slug!!! Mr. Eli, came up to his teachers, telling them he has something on his foot. The teachers couldn’t make out what he stepped in, until they saw the big yellow slug on the ground! It was great for a curriculum topic regarding slug defensive ooze, but a pain to clean up! :) Teachers grabbed the slug, and showed the kiddos what the slug looked like before putting it back in the side yard (grassy side yard).
Mason came into action, immediately trying to inform teachers of what other children were doing, even if they were walking! :) Mason told Ms. Kelsey that Eli was under her legs, so Ms. Kelsey asked Mason what she should do. Mason said “move you body”. And as she moved her body, Eli followed under her legs, until Mason met Eli halfway, having a laughing fest right beneath Ms. Kelsey’s nose! After awhile, it was time to head inside for curriculum!
Today was soap and water day!!! Grace helped Mr. Tim fill up the water tubs (with dashes of real soap and bubble liquid) and put them in the bin! Hailey then came over to help figure out what should go in the bin. We all decided that fish, turtles and other animals don’t live in soap water, but ours are pretend and wouldn’t mind the soap today :)
We got ready for nap, by putting out beds and pulling out story time books (we are trying to implement (slowly) more story time sessions, as the children are becoming much more attune to the length and meaning of stories, keeping their interest that much longer:). We had a fun and long story time before we headed for potty! Mr. Tim and Ms. Kelsey were discussing how fun it is to think of how much younger they really were, and how fast they are all growing!
Have a great mid-week, we will see you soon,
Kelsey and Tim
