Even though today wasn't so pretty outside, it was a very fun and busy day. We definitely took advantage of the weather and made the day a very positive day! We really enjoy picnics in the Oak on rainy days!

In the Oak classroom, we had several activities available today! At the collage table we had a variety of different art materials to choose from to make projects! The children really took advantage of this! There were so many different art projects done by the children today at the collage table!

In the Walnut classroom, the children was just as busy! In discovery, the children played with special marbles! These marbles a special because they were squishy and clear! You didn't know that they were in there until you put your hands in water! The children really took advantage of the discovery area!


Our rainy day felt like sunshine when we went on our scavenger hunt today! We stayed inside of the building but we got to actually walk around where the college students study! We walked up and down the stairs looking for different colors, letters and numbers! The children were so excited about the scavenger hunt! We concluded our adventure by eating lunch under the stairwell on the first floor!
