Camping In


This morning began with some surprises for the Turtles, as they found an intriguing pile of nylon and sticks in a pile on the rug. Before long, they worked together to turn these into two tents. It was then that the adventures began - camping in, hiding in, building fires and "sleeping," were all part of the games.


At Morning Meeting, we talked again about developing our core muscles and this lead to a discussion about how we change from being very floppy babies, to strong kids who can run and sit up. The Turtles had fun acting out the process - from not being able to hold up their heads to learning how to crawl.


Today was Miranda's turn for the Treasure Box, and she enjoyed sharing some stuffed animal friends from home, as well as answering her friends questions.


At Choice Time, the tents continued to be a popular choice. The Turtles also worked on puzzles, and played with making words with wooden letters in the Writing Center.





The easel was also open today, and friends had a blast experimenting with big, bold colors.



We had some time outside, and then Movement class with Missy. Today, we got to chase bubbles, and then played a game of kickball.






Max's mom came to read us a couple of good books: Beautiful Oops (about making Art out of what might look like a mistake), and Only One You.
