Building Steps

The Little Frogs day started off visiting our friend Missy for Movement. We had lots of fun! Missy taught us a game where we pretended we were bumble bees, and we buzzed around the room. When Missy said "Freeze!," we froze and did what Missy said. Missy had us match up our elbows, toes and fingers to another friend. The Little Frogs especially enjoyed the part where we had to give hugs!

Next, Missy suprised us with a parachute! We made the parachute look like the ocean as well a Merry-Go-Round. Then, we each took a turn sitting underneath of it as our friends made it go up and down. 

It was hard work playing with the parachute, so we laid our bodies on top and took a quick rest! Before Movement was over, we finished up with our favorite activity, playing with the balls!

We headed back to our classroom for Morning Meeting and Moment of Silence.

During Morning Meeting, we found more purple objects! We then talked about a box that was in our room when we got in this morning. Danielle read the box to us, and it said, "To: The Little Frogs From : Carol." The Little Frogs were so excited Carol left them a present! Friends were trying to figure out what was in the box. Some friends guessed it was lots of toys, a nut cracker and a huge crocodile. Friends are going to keep guessing what they think it could be, and then we will open it on Thursday. 

While some friends were playing this morning, they found a big green cricket! We measured the cricket and placed it in a jar full of water to see if anything might happen (we explained that we do not put real crickets in water, only FAKE!). Stay tuned because the cricket should make some changes by tomorrow!

Since it was so beautiful out, we suited up with our safety gear, hard hats and goggles, and headed out for an adventure. We walked across campus to the Tyson House where we found Aaron building steps! Since we came prepared, we were able to help him build! Since the Little Frogs were so helpful, the steps will hopefully be finished by the end of the week!  

We then headed inside the Tyson House to say "hello" to all of our friends that were working.

To finish up our day we went to the Lower School playground to play. The Little Frogs are now experts on most of the playground activities. It is a good thing that they have been eating their growing food because they are getting so big...they barely need help! 

Friendship Parade

The Little Frogs' morning started off with Morning Meeting and a Moment of Silence. When it was time for our Moment of Silence, we took a deep breathe, closed our eyes and thought of... Carol! We then sang our song. Some friends pretended they were monsters, cats, dogs and race cars. 

We also hid to suprise one of our friends, but he found us!!

The Little Frogs tried to figure out what this spot, marker, play dough, scarf and frog all had in common. They guessed it! They are all purple! We then celebrated by dancing to the "Purple People Eater" song. During Morning Meeting, the Turtles came in to invite us to the Friendship parade they were having. We happily accepted the invite! 

We then read Down in the Cool of the Pool. This book was a Froggie Favorite because it recieved thumbs-up by all! Our choices for Choice Time were Flubber, Books, Blocks, Dramatic Play and Flag making. We made beautiful flags for our Friendship parade. Some of the flags said, "I love you," "Do you want to play?," and one flag had monsters and pirates being friends. 

We went outside to find big sticks for our flags but ended up running away from a monster, shark and giraffe! Once we ran far enough away, we started our stick search. The Little Frogs taped their flags onto their poles and were ready for the parade. 

We met the Turtles and Sunflowers on the playground. The Turtles brought out the sign they had hanging in their classrooms that had all of the mean words friends would say to one another.  Dave brought over his bulldozer and picked the sign up to take it to the dumpster. We followed behind him shouting "Kindness!" We all cheered very loudly when the Meanness sign was gone and the dumpster was shut.

We finished our morning playing together nicely at the playground!
