Friday January 13, 2012

Today we had a full house and it was a lot of fun! We did all this, plus even got outside for about 20 minutes!
We had a couple of circles today including creative movement- we wiggled our waggles out, did the hokey pokey and even had enough friends for The Farmer in the Dell- but Charli didn't like being the cheese! :-)
We read several stories including Abiyoyo and a photographic book of baby animals.

Breakfast
Charlotte tries some cantaloupe
Brendan glued his snowman name

Joey says "Who wants to be in my band" They make a parade
It was hard to photograph them all together, so here they are one at a time- Alanah
Phaedra
Addison-- Brendan joined in but stopped before I got his photo
Another Joey idea-- the parachute!
We added some foam blocks and pretended it was popcorn- Brendan preferred to watch
The Boog enjoyed watching too
Later we moved into the living room and listened to a color song using the parachute
When your color was sung about you needed to stand or sit down


It's a fun way to follow directions, learn colors and Move!

I put on a puppet show of the 3 little pigs- then it was Joey's turn
Alanah's hand next to her green  hand print at 7 months old!

Phaedra's hand now,  next to her green hand print at 1 year old!

Alanah has been wanting a new hand print. Today she made one and even wrote her own name under it

Joey's hand next to his hand print from when he was 2 years old!
Phaedra writes her name under her new hand print

Joey signs his new hand print

Getting ready to paint the castle

And where is everyone else? Shhh it is naptime

The big pieces of the castle

This went well til the paint got spilled- oh well :-)
