Summer is FINALLY here and happenin'! Our spirits were high with energy to match! Here's some of the plans we made on our first day back. The sand wheels and cups were turned into a Juice Factory where drinks were served complete with straws and fuzzy stick adornments. ;)
Friend "Hammer" worked on magnatile floor plans, Friend "Kangaroo" built pyramids with wedgits, and Toddler "K" and Friend "Sandwich" used cusinaire rods to fill in the maze. All of these awesome plans really stretched the friends' spatial awareness and fine motor skills.
Friend "Sunflower" and "Sandwich" couldn't wait to get to the House Area where they enjoyed playing baby and doctor. Their collaboration in this role play activity was extensive as they worked through an "appointment" and then traded roles.
Friend "Hammer" first found his favorite pink hiking boots, then took care of the babies in the nursery, and even cooked dinner. It is quite impressive to see his expertise in cooking, and how carefully he rocked his baby in the cradle. That is a tender heart right there. :)
Lastly, we moved outside to play in the water, mud, with brooms and books, and also with gross motor equipment. Ms. Harmony recently fenced in the playground area so that Outside Time could be a more developed part of our day instead of just a few minutes in duration while we wait for our parents to pick up. It was really humid today, but none of the school friends even mentioned the heat. We were too busy having fun! Can't wait till Thursday!
