A Traditional Day

The Little Frogs started their morning out nice and early! We had our Morning Meeting and Moment of Silence with another special visitor, Evan's dad! He read us a book about Hanukah and taught us about the Menora. 

 When we finished reading we got to play with dreidels and he gave us gold chocolate coins for snacktime.

 We then went out to the playground to play for a little. Our tire swing is broken so some friends were pretending it was a basketball net. 

When we were finished playing we went to the Hallowell Gym for Winterfest. Everyone in the entire school was there! We were able to sing, dance and even help decorate the Christmas tree. We sang lots of songs about all the different holidays!

The Upper School students put on some skits for us! Then it was the Early Childhood's turn to decorate the tree.

We even bought Hoppity and Bumpity along with us! They were singing and dancing too!

On our walk over we found some more frogs hidden out back!

When we were finished having a blast at Winterfest we came back and played in our room for a bit!

To finish up our day we meet the Chipmunks, Turtles, Sunflowers and Caterpillars in the John Barnes room for music with Jenny and her husband. When they sing together they are called Two of a Kind. 

We had so much fun singing some silly and holiday songs with everyone!

Jenny and her husband were wearing such silly hats that they made us laugh!

During music class we had a big dance party with all of our friends.

We said our goodbyes and told Jenny we would see her next year!! The Little Frogs are now napping and resting up from their busy day of dancing and singing!

A Pirate Treasure Hunt

The tiny frogs came out this morning, and then they disappeared! Next the Frogs began to draw treasure maps and search the room for hidden treasure.

After Moment of Silence, we read a book called, Pirates Don't Change Diapers, and then discussed our plans to go out on a treasure hunt.

After snack, Danielle had some terrible news - pirates had came and kidnapped Hoppity and Bumpity, as well as a bunch of their tiny frog friends! We would need to go out to the cemetery with our treasure maps and track them down! We were Frogs on a mission!

With maps and binoculars and bags in hand, we set off and quickly began locating some of our tinier friends.

It was not easy to juggle all of our equipment, but we persevered.

We finally located out friends up in a tree, and there was much cheering and celebration.

Then we headed to the playground, where we enjoyed revelling in our new levels of friend-ishness.

We also worked a bit on our stick house....

and carefully examined and dissected our bird's nest.

Inside, we read, The Paper Bag Princess, to generally good reviews and sang goodbye to our half day friend. Lunchtime was a silly mix of laughter and singing some favorite songs - many times with new, made up lyrics!
