Tuesday's Journal/Music Together & Hot Potato Day!


Hi Everyone!

Ms. Kelsey was not feeling well today, so Ms. McKenzie joined us for class today, with the help of our younger friend, Ms. Alex!  

The kiddos had a great time this morning learning with number and letters on the magnetic board, while others used dress up and pretend play in our dramatic play area :)  We had mathematicians and bookworms in one corner, and fairies, dinosaurs and lions in the other!  Eventually all of the kiddos joined forces however to discover and play with our plexi-glass colored blocks!  Oh what fun we had, telling our friends and teachers what color the room was “now”! :)  We also continued to color our stick people with markers!

Then, for our curriculum, we took a step back and learned about a game called “hot potato”.  We discussed how sometimes food is too hot to eat, and how we can cool it off.  We came up with blowing on the potato, and tossing it back and forth with our hands would be some great ways to cool it off.  However, the best ways to cool it off would be to hand it to another friend!  We had lots of fun learning our new game, and may have discovered a new way to instantly cool potatoes!

Before lunch and nap, we sat down for Music Together with Mr. Craig!  We sang songs including “Two little Blackbirds” and “Ten Little Fingers”.  It was our newest classmate Kyler’s first Music Together with our classroom!  He had a lot of fun, and we had a blast showing him what we do as a class, and how to have so much fun!

Have great rest of the day!

Tim and McKenzie
