Today we did a lot of reading! Busy Fingers, Hands Can, Tickle Tickle, and Animal Noises were some favorites today. We sang and danced to our favorite kids songs. "Ring Around the Rosie" was a favorite song today. We also celebrated one little friend's birthday!

Playing Ball and Popping Bubbles!

Today we tried out a new activity we have never done before! We played with foamy bubbles and had a blast! First we just played and felt around in the bubbles. Things got really messy when brought our spoons, whisks, and cups into the mix. We talked about sharing with friends, ways friends can look different, and how good it is to have friends.We danced to Jack Johnson's "The Sharing Song", sang "1,2,3 You Are Friends With Me", and read Shades of Black: A Celebration of Our Children. 

Helping Hands!

Today we found a new way to paint that our little friends really enjoyed. We mixed flour, salt, and food coloring to make our paint. After painting our pictures we put them in the microwave for 40 seconds and the paint puffed up! It made a very neat textured painting for the kids to feel. One little friend decided it would be nice to help out her friend with her painting. We also played Peek-a-Boo, follow the leader and  read our book My Friend.

Working together as friends!

 We learned about cultural differences by reading Global Babies today. We looked at the different cultures, and races of babies around the globe. During art we paired up to work on a project together as a friendly team. We helped each other out to get our picture accomplished

Hugs and Hopping!

This weeks is Friends Week. Today we talked about nice gestures that friends share such as hugs, helping hands, smiling faces, and lots of giggles. We had a friend who really liked to give out hugs today! We sang and danced to our friendly song "You Are My Sunshine" and read the book as well. We also read Owen and Mzee Best Friends. Our little friends had lots of fun with Mrs. Lynn reading and participating in our active book Llama Llama Hoppity-Hop.

Friends hug!

Llama Llama, touch your toes!

Firetrucks/ Towers

Fun, fun, fun is how our day went. This tower was our favorite toy for the day. We all worked together taking turns to play with the tower. Today we talked a lot about emergency vechicles. We got out our firetruck and all the children went to our dramatic play area and grabbed costumes. We had  a chef, firefighter, police officer, mail lady and a doctor. The firefighter got into the drivers spot and we took a trip. Singing a song to the tune of the wheels on the bus, but changing out the words to the wheels on the firetruck overall a really good day.

Roll,Roll,Roll

"Roll, Roll, Roll"is what the children said all day today.
We got out our ramps and had some fun rolling
 our cars down to the bottom.

 A few of our friends stopped by to stand on the side lines and watch as we started the race.

Racing our cars down to the bottom with our little friends on the side to watch and cheer us on.

We talked today about things that go fast, slow,up, down and transportation that is big and small.
 Also today we had a blast singing and dancing to Great Big silver Airplane by Big Smith
