Collecting Treasures

This morning, the families gathered - today they were preparing for a big storm.

Meanwhile, friends decorated the clips we will be using to hang art up on the new art board.

After snack and the making of maps, we headed out on a big adventure to gather to treasure.

We found some interesting signs.

We found so many big sticks.

And other treasures, like crunchy leaves.

And tiny flowers.

There were paths to run on and trees to climb.

Then it was jumping off time.

When our wagon was full, we headed back.

We got to use our treasures for ingredients, before heading in for lunchtime.

Inside Outside Day

Our day began with sign in and free play. Both tigers and dragons were threatening our babies and their families.

 

Friends revisited some of our new books.

And worked together to dig and build in the sandbox.

After clean up, we sat down together for a snack of oranges and crackers with sun butter.

We gathered for morning meeting and read our book of the week: "Children Make Terrible Pets." Friends gave this book many "moose ears" (our highest rating).

Then we headed into Choice Time. This included:

Hammer Art, where friends can make pictures and patterns with geometric shapes that they nail into the cork board.

We had inside/outside choices today. Outside, trampoline was a popular choice.

Others built with magnatiles, opened an ice cream stand and cared for babies - often all at the same time.

Just before lunch, we gathered for story time.
