Pre-Preschools Journal "Dancing = Fun"!!!


Happy Tuesday Everyone!

It’s been a fun Tuesday morning!  We have done a lot in such a short amount of time!

In the morning, we had our early morning art, using colored pencils and our choice of paper.  We made a lot of designs and markings that look like specific letters of the alphabet!  (so the kiddos say :)  Yet, some of the marks look just like letter of the alphabet!  Then we danced, jumped and exercised our loud voices!  We are sure to remind our kiddos that loud screams are for outside, while talking quiet is for inside.   During free play, children chose to use waffle blocks to create long: trains, roads, walking places, etc :)  Dinosaurs were another favorite choice, as were scarves and ribbons for dancing!

After taking our boys and girls potty, we continued our dancing marathon!!!  They must have known, because they came ready for dancing today!  We used tambourines (not the ones we made, as they are still drying), bells, shakers and our bodies to make noise and dance with :)  After a good 20 minutes of dancing our feet tired, we thought a god reward would be a… Buggy Ride!  We only have a couple more weeks of buggy ride time before it starts getting to cold to go all the time :(.  However, once our winter clothes are here, we will be ready to go on them once and awhile still (preferably when the sun is shining:).

On our buggy ride we passed a large stone sculpture of a worm, a basketball court, a soccer practice, and a radar checker (check pictures).  We were apparently going 7mph past the sign :) 


Buggy Remarks/Daily Memories-

Clara- "But I WANT to stand up in the stroller!" Yes, we know :)

Erin- When asked what she wanted to do when our buggy ride was over- "More buggy ride please".

Evie- "My baby rides in my buggy?" 

Grace- "Whoa! That was a fast birdie bird!"

Hailey- "I can push the buggy now. I can practice" (We wouldn't have minded some help with those heavy strollers today! :)

Jackson- "Hi Kelsey, Hi Tim, Hi Buggy ride"

Jane- "Faster, faster. No, FASTER!"

Kyler- "That's my car" pointing to car driving past.


Heading back into class, we chose to use more dancing items (and dancing feet:), fruit and vegetables and books to read for our activity while other went potty and got their beds ready!

We hope you all had a great day!

FYI- Mr. Tim will be taking a short vacation starting  this Thursday @ 12 (noon) through Friday (all day) (AUG 23-24).

Have a great day!

Kelsey and Tim
