Seeds Are Planted...

Due to illness, I was unable to post for Mon. or Tues.
Here are some seed cups we decorated with Sonya on Tuesday.
We're watching closely for sprouts.

TODAY'S ACTIVITIES

Our activity period had three favorite stations that students freely rotated through:
  • Beading on elastic string - fine motor skills, color sorting
  • Shaving cream on trays - sensory experience, drawing and writing with fingers
  • Washing the babies in the water table - more sensory play, with loads of bubbles.
PIZZA PARTY - Thursday, November 16th!
Please mark your calendars for this get together for all the families of Room 4. It is a great opportunity to meet new families and visit with old friends. Watch the blog and the classroom board for more info.

TODAY'S STORY
The Day The Babies Crawled Away, by Peggy Rathmann. Dramatic silhouettes illustrate a story of a young boy's recovery of a gaggle of curious, adventurous babies. They sneak away while the parents are in a pie eating contest. They crawl through the grass, forest, cave, off a cliff and into a tree. By some resourceful tying of diapers and T.L.C. he affects a rescue and becomes hero of the day. All the parents give him a trophy in gratitude for his heroic deed.
