Rockets and Rock n' Roll

Choice time was filled today with rocket ships. We're not sure how it happened, but almost all the Turtles were either building or flying or repairing or launching magna-tile rocket ships - and some were even astronauts in the climber-ship. Other things were also going on, like art and drumming, but things kept circling back to rocket ships.
After yoga, we had Morning Meeting, where we continued our sound and rhythm study. Each Turtle got to make up a beat and then everyone worked to play it together. Soon, the Turtle Band will be ready to go on tour!

Outside time was spent in dramatic games - many of which involved making a variety of concoctions using very wet sand. After everyone was good and chilly, we came in for storytime: Pinkalicious and Chicka Chicka Boom Boom (this book is a good way for kids to get familiar with their lower case letters, and its a fun read).
