Taking Care


We spent some time this morning taking care of our favorite furry friends. We cleaned out their cage and then took turns giving them some TLC.






We got some new sunglasses.


Then we headed off to Movement class, where we stretched, ran, played catch and worked on our t-ball.






Back in Froggyland, we had snack, then gathered for Morning Meeting. While we were waiting for friends to settle in, we told a round robin story that involved to bees, named Floor and Mason, and a car-driving horse named Kevin. I won't tell you the whole story, but I will tell you that Kevin's driving skills left something to be desired!


After our Moment of Silence and Moment of Loudness, Danielle read us a new book called, An Alligator Lives in Benjamin's House. We got to make lots of animal sounds and were amazed at how many animals Benjamin had. At Choice Time, friends could pick between the sandbox, books, the Store and musical instruments. Lots of friends rocked out with the musical instruments, as we took turns counting off (then we tried to figure out why musicians count off).











Then, we headed outside fo a few minutes on the playground before heading out on an adventure. We set off to find the school store, so we could get some ideas for our own store. However, on the way...


...we stopped to fish in the creek, and discovered something new there - Green Slimy stuff! We investigated, but we are not sure what it is or how it got there.






So we headed on our way. Until we got to...



..the Big Kids' playground. This ended up being a major detour, as friends were very invested in testing their skills on this tricky equipment. Balancing on the Jiggly Bridge was popular, as was trying to figure out how to get up on the high platforms. Climbing up and down the ladders was another challenge, and some friends even tried pulling themselves across the monkey bars.








By the time we had tried everything, we realized that we had completely forgotten about the store, and we were out of time! After a brief stop to climb on our rock pile, we headed back for lunch, with lots of stories of our weekends and a new round of knock-knock jokes.
