Today we found mini-brooms for the kids to use. How did they use them? Creatively of course! Some of the kids swept up rocks, others used them to beat the bushes and some worked cooperatively to move water in puddles from one area to another. Children always come up with a way to use a tool that I had not thought of. While I thought of riding around like cowboys, they were changing the flow of the water together-and very intently at that.
At circle time we worked on our raindrop's song again. Here are the words if you want to sing with your child at home:
If all the raindrops were lemon drops and gum drops
Oh what a rain that would be
Standing outside with my mouth opened wide
aa aa aa aa aa aa aa aa aa aa
If all the raindrops were lemon drops and gum drops
Oh what a rain that would be
If all the snowflakes were ice cream and popsickles
Oh what a snow that would be
Standing outside with my mouth opened wide
aa aa aa aa aa aa aa aa aa aa
If all the snowflakes were ice cream and popsickles
Oh what a snow that would be
If all the sun beams were bubble gum and milkshakes
Oh what a rain that would be
Standing outside with my mouth opened wide
aa aa aa aa aa aa aa aa aa aa
If all the raindrops were lemon drops and gum drops
Oh what a rain that would be
If all the snowflakes were ice cream and popsickles
Oh what a snow that would be
Standing outside with my mouth opened wide
aa aa aa aa aa aa aa aa aa aa
If all the snowflakes were ice cream and popsickles
Oh what a snow that would be
If all the sun beams were bubble gum and milkshakes
Oh what a sun that would be
Standing outside with my mouth opened wide
aa aa aa aa aa aa aa aa aa aa
If all the sun beams were bubble gum and ice cream
Oh what a sun that would be.
Standing outside with my mouth opened wide
aa aa aa aa aa aa aa aa aa aa
If all the sun beams were bubble gum and ice cream
Oh what a sun that would be.
On our hike today, we decided to all stick together. We had fun counting and recounting up to 10-the amount of children at school today. We went on a hunt to find both of our decomposing pumpkins-the children knew just where they both were. They were both pretty gross and squishy!
Pretty soon the kids were getting hungry. We decided to stay near the Blue Group's pumpkin because the area was so cool. Full of hiding places, logs to balance on and good places to hide beads.
The book was about snow-not sure if we'll get any this year-but we are talking about it a lot. The kids used digging spoons, bug boxes and found the beads Teacher Ann and Jen hid about the spot. The time went quickly till it was lunch time.
Next week we'll be talking more about where snow comes from and why. See you then!
