We heard two great stories today. We Are All the Same, We Are All Different is a book that celebrates each one of us as a unique individual. Some of the things it discussed were how we all have hair, but the colors may be different. We all have skin, but some of us have lighter skin and some of us have darker skin. We talked about how we all have birthdays but not on the same day and we all have feelings. It was a wonderful book that helped generate a really good discussion.
We fed our African Dwarf Frogs, Avis and Scooter, this morning. They get fed twice a week, on Tuesdays and Fridays. It's fun to watch how much they swim around and move when it's feeding time!! We passed around our talking stick and created a class list of pets. We had hamsters, fish, frogs, cats, kittens, dogs, puppies, snakes on our list.
After singing and moving to Shake Our Sillies Out and Head Shoulders, Knees, and Toes we sat down to hear Sesame Street's Pet Show. Bernie's pet was kept in a brown bag for most of the story. See if your child remembers what Pet Ernie brought to the show and what prize he won!!
The weather was so gorgeous today we went outside around 10:30 to plant our class chrysanthemum. Each of us put in a scoop of dirt as we transplanted the flower into a bigger pot. Then we each took a turn using the watering can and giving our class flower something to drink! It's right outside our classroom now so we can watch all the blooms open during the next few weeks. We counted and found out that 8 blooms were open today, I wonder if any new ones will open tomorrow? It will be fun to count the blooms before coming into the class in the morning!
We stayed outside for the rest of the morning. We ran around, played on the equipment, used balls and sidewalk chalk and had a lot of fun! We ended our morning by getting into a big circle and playing Mouse, Mouse, Cat! What a fun day!
