The Sun Came Out Today!

After taking care of our pets and making some art, the Turtles had Morning Meeting. We sang our new favorite silly song, "My Name is Joe," and did some yoga with jumping beans, we had found in our invisible pockets. We played around with the letter "P" and discovered that it is part of many of our favorite foods - like peaches and pizza and pretzels! Kailyn then took the Storyteller's Stool and told us about a favorite toy that she'd brought in. She passed it around for each of her friends to play with and then answered their questions.

We had a couple of visitors from the Sunflower Room, so the Turtles explained some important things about how we do Choice Time - particularly about the sign-up sheet for the keyboard and about hitting the gong after we make our Choices. It was fun having new friends in the room and introduce them to all of our favorite activities. There were some new and challenging puzzles out today, and lots of imaginary play in the clubhouse. 

It was a beautiful, sunny day, so the Turtles were glad to be out playing in the melting snow. Many of the Turtles turned into baby birds - particularly talented ones who could fly and go to school and ride bikes. We also discovered a lot of ice and found out the you could use it to write and draw pictures on the stone. Good books and good-byes took us into lunchtime and an happily crowded table.
