Pod A: Pretend

It was another busy day in Pod A. The children continued with wire and pottery appointments. There was also bend and stretch in the morning and rough and tumble in the afternoon. Some of the children went down to the kitchen in the morning with Mrs. Kauppi to learn about the food groups. In the afternoon at small group the children continued to talk about their families.

Today the pretend area was very busy. There was a big bad wolf and bear that were coming after the children. They decided that in order to get away from the big bad wolf and the bear they had to get on a plane and take a very long ride to Mexico. However, the big bad wolf and bear got on the plane, but the children still got away from them. Some children were also acting as dogs and other children were there caregivers. They gave their dogs food and made them beds. 

The baby dolls are still popular with the children. The children dressed the babies and put them in a stroller or a car seat and packed a bag with snacks. They took their babies to the movie to see Beauty and The Beast. 

Have a good rest of the week!
