Thursday

We had a great day today. We talked a lot about recycling and went to work cleaning up our yard and ended with a picnic to celebrate the warm weather! It was fun to lie on our backs and watch the clouds so swiftly moving across the sky and we wondered if we could jump up, grab onto a big cloud and take a ride with them! There was a lot of earnest work going on with shovels, scoopers, and buckets of all shapes and sizes. The children also enjoyed playing with the Tangoes tangram shapes as they constructed many pictures and we played the board game, Labrynth, where each person takes a turn building a maze to go through. This inspired the making of our own mazes outside to challenge each other!
We ate veggie burgers, pita chips, salad, and hummus and heard the story of The Moon Princess.....ask your little one if they remember the little girl who shared her jewels with the sky to help light up the darkness. We will hear it again next week and focus more on recycling in art, music, and activities.
A very Happy New Year to all of you!
