Choice time was filled with some different activities today. While some friends worked excitedly with the letter stamps, others decorated the climber (and a great deal of the classroom) with "spiderwebs" for the Fall Festival. We also were happy to put the finishing touches on our beautiful Turtle shirts.
After some yoga and stretching, we settled in for a new story:
How I Became a Pirate, (Melinda Long & David Shannon), with the Turtles playing the part of the pirate crew.
Next, we went on a Big Walk - first stop, our favorite tree. The Turtles were amazed to discover that our tree was naked and almost all of its leaves were on the ground. Then we remembered that we needed to find something for Scarecrow Bob... a spine! We searched through a variety of sticks - long and short, fat and skinny - until we found the perfect one to take back to Bob (which, hopefully, will help keep his head in place). The Turtles were really enjoying the beautiful day, when we realized that it was raining leaves! What followed was a dancing, leaf chasing and catching extravaganza. A lovely morning adventure.
The leaf picture is awesome! Thanks for sharing!
