Puzzles, Puzzles, and More Puzzles

Today some of the children put together puzzles. There were two large floor puzzles of a train and one of different dinosaurs. There were smaller puzzles that showed the process of getting dressed. Another puzzle had the process of a duckling hatching. A foam number puzzle was also included. The children worked in pairs or small groups to complete the puzzles.



To complete the number puzzle, P.J. and Micah counted out loud.




Aidan and Andrew worked together to find the colors that fit together.




Tommy and Danny completed to dinosaur puzzle together.

Fun with Musical Instruments!

Today during large group Ms. Weller passed out musical instruments to use during a walk around the room. Some children chose to use the instrument Ms. Weller handed to them and some children chose to switch with another child. We all walked around the Walnut room making music using our instruments to get ready for the day.
Getting ready to make music with our instruments!

Having a conversation about our morning activity!
