Katlyn's Class: Wednesday

I guess they all missed their friends yesterday, because the children came in this morning roaring and ready to go! We had our morning meeting followed by Jahanvi's show and share. She brought in a Disney Princess book with twelve princess stories inside. The children had magic in their eyes as I read the story of Aladdin. Soon thereafter, Pattie came in to read to us. Autumn has been quite ill for a few weeks and Pattie has been her substitute. Pattie read Thanksgiving Mice! by Bethany Roberts and Doug Cushman, Clifford's First Autumn, by Norman Bridwell, and Happy Thanksgiving, Biscuit by Alyssa Satin Capucilli and Pat Schories. After being an awesome audience for Pattie, we washed up for fruit break, followed by our Fruit Break Recess.

Our class went to Music with Kim along with Tulie's and Ruth Ann's classes for our Early Learner Music class. They learned a song about germs, be sure to ask your child to sing it to you! When arriving back at the room, I had a new activity the children have never done before. To strengthen their fine motor muscles and control, I had play rocks (much like ones you find in beta fish bowls), an ice tray, and tweezers (a kid-friendly kind) sat up at the tables. The children were to fill up their ice trays with the rocks using only the tweezers - no fingers allowed. They all did awesome! We'll continue to do things like this when we have extra time between activities. We then scooted out for recess followed by Lunch-A-Month. Today's LAM was a hotdog, chips, jello, and lemonade. Several children decided to take their chips home and eat something out of their lunchbox instead. We had a wonderful, peaceful afternoon.
