A New Friend, and Old Friends Back Together



Our morning began with much laughter and excitement, as friends reunited and explored some new elements in the room.




The castle - complete with dragon - was a huge draw all day long.




Our new Catbirds was eager to join the fun.













The puppies returned, and were well cared for, as were the babies.









In the Science Center, magnets and magnifiers were explored.







We had snack, and then...


Aedin came in for music class. We warmed up first.







Then learned some new songs - one about the weather that seemed quite appropriate for today.




Aedin read us a book about clouds, accompanied by music. Then, we danced and pretended to be clouds.







We headed outside for a bit - long enough for many friends to discover the Giant Puddles out there. After many of us got pretty wet, we headed inside to dry off and gather for Morning Meeting. We had our Moment of Silence, and sang some favorite songs.








Then, each Catbird took a turn getting up and finding something new in the room. We guessed what each object might be called. Here is our list:

New Things

Necklace
Turn Arounder Pot
Another Necklace
Number Board
Fire Truck
Dump Truck
Unicorn Puppet
Dragon
Castle
Little Person

 Ask your Catbird to show you some of these, next time you're in the room.





We had one new item that the Catbirds found really fascinating, so we passed it around, and took guesses about what it might be called. These are the names:

Really Pointy (2)
Sticks (2)
Popping Beads Up (2)
Finger Print Sticks
Popping Beads
Box of Sticks
Stick Box with Pegs











Then it was Choice Times. These are some of the things friends did:
