The Shows Must Go On!

After taking a few pictures of friends through the box, the Little Frogs felt a musical urge. So we got out some instruments and jammed to some of our favorite tunes.

This got us right in the mood for Music with Jenny. We got to play our shaker eggs, and dance around a bit. Then, she put on a pirate hat, read us a pirate story and then sang us a pirate song. We got to say, "ARRRRGH."

We headed back for Morning Meeting. We talked about the exciting activities we had planned for today. First, we were going to take the two colors of flubber that we made yesterday and do an experiment with them. We were going to find out what would happen if we put one at one end of the water table and the other color at the other end. The Frogs were pretty sure that the 2 colors would mix to make a different color, but they had many opinions as to what that color might be.

We were pretty excited about the whole process, so we moved the water table over near the snack table, so we could study the process.

After snack, we had time to help the process along. We love flubber.

Then it was time for the next exciting event of our day - the Theater! We headed over to the Upper School auditorium to watch the Middle Schoolers rehearse, "Suessical, the Musical." The Little Frogs were pretty amazed and enjoyed the singing and dancing. They asked lots of questions about the stage and sett and props. We are hoping to return again to see some of the dress rehearsal.

We stopped to talk about it afterwords, and then it was time for the next exciting part of our morning, Lunch in the Cafeteria!

We found ourselves a table in the middle of the action, and unpacked. It was pretty exciting, and kind of noisy, and the Little Frogs did a great job of eating with the big kids. Most friends said that they would like to go back and do it again. After lunch, we headed back just in time for nap and we were tired!

Teddy Bear Day!

Today was Teddy Bear Day! All of our friends were able to bring in one of their special stuffed friends! Since our special visitors never had Morning Meeting or a Moment Silence before we had to explain to them what we do. Our stuffed friends are great listeners because they were able to do the Moment of Silence. 

Next, we headed outside before it began to rain.

Katy brought her polka dot bear.

Tori brought her elephant.

Alexander brought his big brown bear.

Kevin brought his Red Dolphin.

Miles had his Moo Cow.

Elise had her Orange Turtle.

Evan brought his Camel.

Mason brought his puppy.

Our stuffed animals loved swinging on the swings and sliding down the slide! Some had so much fun they may need to take a bath when they get home!

We then headed inside to have a dance party with our animals! 

Some of the Caterpillars came to our room to visit Princess Froggie and Nellie. 

Danielle read us a book called My Friend Bear. The Little Frogs are getting good at looking at the pictures to figure out how the character may be feeling. 

Not only was today Teddy Bear Day but it was also Kevin's birthday! He is now four years old! Kevin's mom brought in delicious cupcakes and juice boxes for us! The cupcakes had Lightening McQueen and Mator rings on them! We got to lite a candle and sing Happy Birthday!

After we were finished eating out snack and got all cleaned up, Kevin's mom read us a book! We love it when our family members come and spend time with us!

Before Choice Time we got out the drums and played. This a great activity because it helps work our fine and gross motor skills! We are also learning about rhythm and how to play together.

Our choices for Choice Time were Flubber, Books, Blocks, Dramatic Play and Animal Making. 

While some friends played with the blocks others helped make enough flubber to fill the water table. This was a lot of work as well as messy! (If your Little Frog comes home with Flubber on them, in their hair, or on their clothes, it comes out with vinegar.)

For safety we wore our safety goggles when mixing. Friends had so much fun getting messy!

One friend made his Giraffe out of different shapes, while another started work on his character, "Mrs. Icicle."

When then cleaned up for a quick story and to eat our lunches. We did not want to get our animals dirty so we had them eat at another table. We told them "NO GROWING FOOD!" but they did not listen.
