Play It Again, Sam

The Turtles were so  busy this morning! The early morning free choice stretched on and on because the childen were so productively engaged in puzzle making, boat building (complete with a cd player that would allow them to "have lots of music!"), playing the piano, and writing and drawing.
When we finally did clean up for Morning Meeting, the Turtles continued in their enthusiasm as Carol demonstrated our new music! We have color coded our piano, and introduced sheet music with the same color code. We also talked about our plan to make our clubhouse out of our climber. We quickly transitioned to Choice Time, and the Turtles jumped into action, transforming the climber and practicing "Mary Had a Little Lamb" and "Twinkle Twinkle" on the little piano.
Movement with Missy was fun as the Turtle continued their paper-plate skating moves and the soccer stylings.
We had a short time outside made fun by the snow. The children went "off-road" with the trikes, turned the easel into a "ice cream store," and made the swings into a rodeo ride.
