TODAY'S ACTIVITY:
Today we painted our remaining boxes with rollers - an altogether different experience than brushes, requiring different techniques and movement. Now that our source cardboard is all painted, we can begin cutting and assembling our fire engine/ambulance/bus for use in the classroom. It'll be interesting to see how our lettering on the side comes out.


TODAY'S STORY:
I Don't Want To Go To Bed, by Julie Sykes and Tim Warren. A tiger cub resists his mother's insistence that he go to bed. She relents. The tiger cub gleefully bounds from one friend to another, only to be rejected one by one. Fortunately, a nocturnal bush baby leads him home just in time to fall asleep as the sun comes up.
