Thursday January 26th POD A

Hello Everyone!

We had an eventful day today! In the morning we finished up wire appointments with Mr. Jonaitis, working with tools to help us bend and curl the wire. We're also continuing with bend and stretch every morning, the children come back into the classrooms after bend and stretch excited for the rest of their day.

We've been having a lot of fun in the centers as well! We've been experimenting with powder paint and seeing what happens when the primary colors are mixed together. We have also introduced some new tools with the floam at the texture table; rolling pins, cookie cutters, and imprint designs have been very popular. Pretend gets more intricate all the time, the children have been talking about going to the doctors, taking medicine to feel better, and treating the baby dolls and stuffed animals with "medicine" so they feel better too. 

While playing outside today the children noticed that there was ice on the sidewalk and it made riding a bike through that particular spot challenging. So we had a crew of children that decided to shovel the ice off of the ground and get it out of the way so that the bikes can still pass through.

Have a great weekend!
