Totally Backwards Day


There were so many things going on this morning, that we decided to declare it "Totally Backward Day." First, we went outside on a stick hunt, to make a new frame for our wire art. Then we had Morning Meeting and told friends about our topsy-turvy schedule.


It was Max's turn to bring in the Treasure Box, and he shared four of his superheroes and villains. While the Turtles got to look at all of them, he called on many of his friends to answer questions about where he got them and why he liked them (mostly because they were "awesome").


Next, we headed outside for snack at the picnic table and some time to swing and ride the bikes.


After some time to run around, Alison appeared on the playground with her guitar and we had music outside!


We sang and danced under the shelter, and then Alison led us around the playground like the Pied Piper, as we sang The Ants Go Marching. 



Back inside, Choice Time began. The Turtles worked on puzzles and wire art, and continued to work on their still lifes. Others packed up and went on a vacation/picnic/photography trip - some as people, some as cats. While we were working, many visitors from the Delaware Valley Association for the Education of Young Children came to peek in and see what we were doing here at AFS. They were so impressed with all the artists.

After we cleaned up, Tamara and the Turtles read No David No, as our friends are working on recognizing a variety of words.
