It was a chilly and off schedule start to our New Year, so there were only a few Frogs back with us today. Those who came had a lovely reunion - with lots of hugs and laughter and storytelling.
Carol and Danielle were also in over break, so there have been some new additions to the room. There were firefighter jackets.
This turned out to be fortunate, since a GIANT FIREBREATHING DRAGON has moved into our room!
There are also some new problem-solving puzzles that needed figuring out.
And, of course, our friends the guinea pigs were eager to see their friends and be fed (after sleeping under several blankets last night).
We had Morning (or Afternoon) Meeting. Everyone criss-crossed and we had a very beautiful Moment of Silence.
Then we read a new book called, appropriately enough, If I Had a Dragon."
We ate a leisurely lunch and shared stories about what we had done over break. At the Frog's request, Carol told several "monster Halloween stories," and we were all scared together. Danielle read another new book called, Piggies, while friends finished their lunches.
Then, the Little Frog's got out their sleeping bags and we read, sang songs and listened to music until everyone fell asleep for a short nap. When the Frog's wake, we'll have snack an make ourselves some new playdough!
We cannot wait to reconnect with the rest of our friends!
