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!

Sword Fighting, Fishing and Goodbyes!










The Little Frogs morning started off with a quick dance party with block guitars. We then headed to music class with Jenny. Jenny told us that we were leaving to go on a quick vacation to Jamaica! When we got there we met a man who "Tallied Bananas" and we got to swim with the fishes "Under the Sea". We also had two special friends that came to Jamaica with us that made it lots of fun!















Jenny also taught us how to do the limbo. The Little Frogs had a lot of fun!







































After Music we headed out to the playground. Some friends built thrones out of the blocks and pretended they were Kings of the playground. 




We had our Morning Meeting and Moment of Silence on the tree stumps. The Little frogs made Carol a   Bon Voyage card with their pictures so she can take us with her in her suitcase!







The Kindergarteners were walking by and joined us for our Moment of Silence. The Little frogs explained how they did their Moment of Silence.  The Kindergarteners were very impressed with how quietly and still we were able to be.


















We then worked together and came up with a list of what toys we wanted to bring outside to play with. The list consisted of balls, animals, swords and cars. We then headed out to the soccer fields behind our playground to spend the rest of the morning.




















We had one last sword fight with Carol, and Carol lost!


















After we rangled all of our animals, parked our cars, played our soccer games and won our sword fights we had our lunch picnic style outside.




We finished up our day fishing off the bridge. We did not find any trolls but we did catch very big leaf sharks!

After we woke up from our naps we sadly said our goodbyes to Carol. We are going to miss her very much! The Little Frogs will be counting down the days until Carol will be back and dancing to Dynamite with us! 

WE LOVE YOU CAROL'D!! WE HOPE YOU HAVE NO FUN!!!! ALSO DONT WORRY WE WILL NOT EAT OUR GROWING FOOD!!!!
