Rock 'n Roll Ball

TODAY'S ACTIVITES
Today the Raccoon group had their turn to make pink plydough with Sonya. In the morning session, we took turns working in pairs to make "Rock and Roll"paintings. Place paper in large shallow boxes, add paint and some golf balls. Rock the box, the balls roll, making and mixing interesting rhythms of color. Loads of fun, with the added component of sound.

CALASTHENICS
Usha led the enthusiastic Squirrel group through a routine of varied stretches and jumping jacks. While they were complaining of being tired (bored at the end) the ensuing outdoor play was notably more agile and energetic, their appetites at lunch heartier and their rest time welcome.

TODAY'S STORY
No Girls Allowed, by Stan and Jan Berenstain. Let's begin by noting that the opinion of girls and boys alike in OUR CLASS was, "NO FAIR!". We're proud of them. Brother bear and his friends don't mind Sister tagging along, until she bests them at every activity and boasts about it. Seeking refuge from her bravado, they build a clubhouse and form the "Bear Country Boys' Club." Sister is understandably upset and forms her own "Bear Country Girls' Club" in a tree house. Mother explains that the boys didn't like her being a bad winner. The Girls' Club invites the boys to join for an opening celebration with food. The boys invite the girls over for a dessert of berries. Each clubhouse revises their sign to invite members of the other.
