  Building
Castles with foam Blocks




 Baking Cookies
 



 Block circles!  (Clever boys/shape finders!)





 








 Babies! (Great moms and dads in the making.)

Snack: Gold fish, Nilla Wafers, Candycorn pumpkins, cheese cubes, and Twix candybar minis.


Recess:  We enjoyed playing out in the sunshine today with jumpropes, balls, the airplane teeter-totter and ride on toys.
  Jump-rope fun!

Each child received his/her own container of playdough to take home to celebrate the triplets (Ava, Cole, and Henry's birthday) today!

B Bear's Bubble Art: Brody demonstrates how to make B the Bear's Bubble Art (or Bubble Stationary). Mix 1/2 C. water, 3 T. Tempera Paint, and 1 T. liquid dish soap in a cup. Put a straw into the cup and gently blow into the straw until it makes bubbles at least an inch over the cup. Turn the piece of paper over and let the paint bubbles pop on to the sheet. Enjoy!





Triplet's Unbirthday Celebration:
Ava: Favorite color is PINK!  She likes to eat noodles and loves to play with her Little Mermaid Doll.
Cole: Favorite color is white, he likes to play with airplane toys and be captain of the airplane teeter-totter.
Henry:  Favorite color is green, he loves his green shoes and to play with airplanes and Thomas the train toys.

 B Show and Teach: Oops!  We had so much fun finger painting and doing Bubble art that we forgot to get out the Show N' Teaches for letter B today.  Please leave them in the back packs and we will do them on Thursday.

*Children play to learn and it IS their work!  We had a lot of fun learning together today.  Some children might enjoy a "Quiet Time" after lunch to rest and process what they learned.

**Remember for next time to send your student with a bear and bag snack lunch (and possibly a light sweat shirt/rain jacket if the weather is cool).
