The Turtles had a lot to do today, so we got started right away. First, we had to get our Fall Festival shirts ready for tie dying, so each Turtle carefully (or not so carefully) twisted their shirts and wrapped them in rubber bands.
Meanwhile, Choice Time was filled with a wide variety of artwork and dramatic play - including more music and even a magic show.
At Morning Meeting, we had a special visitor - headless Bob, our scarecrow. Bob expressed his ongoing concern about his lack of head, and the Turtles were eager to help. To help decide what Bob's new face should look like, we got to use an exciting new tool - our Smart Board. While we have used the Smart Board a couple of times before to watch ourselves on video, this was the first time that the Turtles got to actually move things around on the board. First, each Turtle got to "make a face," by choosing from various mouths and eyes. Then, we talked about each face and what the person might be feeling or thinking. Next, all of the Turtles helped decide what Bob's face was going to look like.
After a delicious snack of broccoli, pita, hummus, ranch dip and bananas, we headed outside. While some Turtles played on the playground, others went in to tie dye their shirts. Naomi's mom, Michelle came in to help us get our shirts together. After they were all finished, she stayed to read us a "Toot and Puddle" book. The Turtles enjoyed having Naomi's mom with us.
