A Day in the Magic Forest

This morning we did some housekeeping around the room...

...then made plans for our big adventure. We had to decide if we would take the big bottle of ice. Friends had a lot of opinions, and finally concluded that we should take it along in the wagon.

The Little Frogs learned about the Magic Key, that would open the gate into the Magic Forest. We were very excited about going.

While we got everything ready, we had some time out on the playground.

Then we got our buddies and headed off.

We stopped by some of our favorite places.

Checked on our ice.

Then we had our Morning Meeting on the stage. Friends listened carefully and heard birds singing.

Then we saw some flying.

Next, Danielle conducted some advanced, "Roll Down the Hill" Lessons.

We all passed with flying colors.

Next, we checked the map to try and figure out where the Magic Gate to the Magic Forest might be.

We found it.

We played some music on the fence with our sticks.

And found a GIANT SNAKE, that had been turned into wood. We bravely climbed on it.

We took many photos.

And learned about a plant that has prickers on it.

We found a spider web...

...and a lake.

Before we knew it, it was time to head back.

But first, we stopped to check on our ice. Some of it had melted, so we all had a drink. It was a beautiful day in the Magic Forest. We are hoping to go back tomorrow...and maybe take our lunches!

Architects

Our day started out with a quick Morning Meeting and Moment of Silence. Friends are becoming pros at taking deep breathes, closing their eyes and sitting nice and still. We thought of family and friends that we had spent the weekend with, and put them in our hearts! 

When friends arrived there were new toys for us to play with! One was a wooden circus animals that friends could stack and build on top of one another. This was a fun game because when it became super high some friends got nervous and would cover their eyes! Other friends enjoyed playing with the boat, stuffed animals and beads!

WATCH OUT!!! IT MIGHT FALL!!!!

The tray to our Easel was broken, so some of our friends helped replace it with a new one. The Little Frogs love helping out like this because they can use the tools! This allows them to practice some of their fine motor skills as well as hand eye coordination!

We then headed outside to hang bear shaped bird feeders! Friend got to chose where they would like their bear to be hung and Carol helped tie it to the tree! We can not wait to see all the birds that come!

After hanging up our bears we headed to the Turtle Room for Inside Outside day. Inside some of our friends played in the Dramatic play area and some took off their shoes and pretended they were ice skating.

Outside friends pulled other friends in wagons or chased others around the playground.

Some of our friends placed big blocks and boards together and walked across them. The Little Frogs are using their imaginations more and more - it is exciting to see what they will come up with next!
