Thursday, October 30th

In anticipation of the Halloween party and parade, I thought it would be a perfect time to try some backing with the Tuesday/Thursday crew.  I also thought it would be a good idea to do a bit of a dress rehearsal with our duck costumes.  So, we put on our costumes and headed to the store to get some ingredients first.  It always tickles me how much the students love to stir and mix.  Was a fun day!

    Wednesday, October 29th


    What I had planned for the day, didn’t interest the boys nearly as much as the sad box or block area.  So, I just let them play in those areas as each wished.  For me, It was a lot of fun to paly in the block area with the boys.  In the past my groups of toddlers have not cared much for block play.  Janet has suggested for some time now that we review blocks as a class to inspire more interest.  It was the perfect opportunity to do that with the boys today!

    "Hi!  Hi!  Hi! HIIIiiiiiIIIII!" - Flynn  
    Both Ethan and Flyn seemed particularly interested in interacting with Sophe and some of the tother preK kids.  I suggested that the boys introduce themselves, trying to get the Pre-K kids to staty alittle longer.  

    Flynn and I talked about bellybuttons.  Then he ticked me.  

    Flynn turned TWO last week!  So, we had a little celebration for him during lunch using the fire hydrant water bottles he gave Misha and Ethan and Noam.
