Group Time: Our message board reminded us that today was picture day. The children took turns getting their pictures taken in the "picture bus" with Mrs. Lehenbauer as an escort. The message board also told us that tonight is Family Night. Everyone is welcome to attend between 6:30-7:30 p.m.
Story: Our story today was Hooray, It's a Pinata. This story is about Clara who is planning her birthday party. She wants to have a pinata. At the party store, she selects a dog shaped pinata. As the days pass getting ready for the party, she becomes very attached to the dog, taking it for walks, pretending to feed it, and brushing it. She realizes that she isn't going to want the children to break it. Her close friend, Samson, notices that she is upset. He decides to buy her another pinata for a her party so that she can keep the dog pinata. After the story, we talked about friendships and how nice it was for Samson to buy a new pinata for Clara.
Small Group: Yesterday, we talked about circles and how we can make pictures using circles. Today, the children selected a circle to glue on to a piece of paper. They used crayons to make the circle into a picture. We will use these pictures to make a circle book.
Large Group: We played Follow the Leader with a partner. The children selected partners and took turns being the leader. The person following had to do everything that the leader did. Then, they traded places.
Snacks: The morning class had cheese crackers, marsh mellows, and milk brought by Grace. The afternoon class had cheese sticks, club crackers, and juice brought by Leigha.
