Working on Being Friend-ish


 Yesterday we read the story of The Little Gingerbread Boy and we loved it! So we started off our morning with one of our new favorite stories! The great thing about this story is that we are learning the words which makes it fun because everyone can read it together!



While others were reading some of us choose to play in the leaf table, as well as paint. 




 Today we had music with Jenny. We learned a song about going to the Aquarium and all the fish that live there. We really enjoyed this song because Jenny had puppets that went along with the song!


 We went back to our classroom where we had Morning Meeting and our Moment of Silence. We decided that it might be fun to read our book while we ate our snack. So Carol read us a book called Ten on a Sled.




 After snack we went on another adventure. We found a tree that had puddles around it and sticks that were stuck in the ground.


 We split up into two teams and quickly raced through the other building to see whose team could go faster. When we finally meet up with one another and caught our breath we went to the Lower School Playground. This playground is not only fun for us but challenging because it is meant for the five year olds.

We were able to practice our gross motor skills here by climbing, digging, sliding and building with the big blocks.





 Most of our friends are now able to climb on the climber all by themselves!








 We ended our adventure at one of our favorite spots, THE ROCK PILE!




 The Little Frogs are working really hard on learning to play with one another. But since all of us have ideas that we think are really fun, we tend to disagree. So we had a discussion at lunch about what we could do to help solve some of these problems, since we love playing together. Some of our suggestions were to say "No Thank You"or "Stop", when friends are being unkind or rough. Others were to give hugs and kisses while some were to just take turns and share. Next week we are going to practice some of our great ideas to see what may work best!
