Happy Tuesday!

Today, the children, as well as the staff enjoyed another fun filled day!

In the Oak Room the children worked on finishing up some projects. Talia and Kelly worked on making water for a special project and Jeremiah worked on a solar system.

  

They were also really into the foam today, building different things out of it! 


 

In the Maple Room children were busy making tracks for the buses, and hammering and sawing away at the woodworking area!

 


In the Pine Room some of the girls helped replenish the jewelry bin.
They also took a lot of car rides!

 

 In the Indoor Movement Room some children played Charades!
Since numbers were low we decided to eat as a whole school! 
We also enjoyed the warmer weather, and went outside in the afternoon again!
 
We hope you all have a wonderful rest of the week & weekend! 
Enjoy the sunshine!

Happy Monday Everyone!

Today in the Walnut room we added color to the clean mud, the children enjoyed mixing the color, water and baking soda together.  There was also dirt added in the dry sensory table with flowers and pots so the children can pretend to garden.


In the Oak room floam was added for the children to work with as well as paint rollers instead of sponge painting.  At the light table the children were able to make things to hang in the black light hallway with different colors that would glow.

In the Maple room Mr. Potato Head was added, the children enjoyed building and playing with him.  The children also played with the big yellow school buses, trains and built different towers and things with legos.

In the Pine room they played with the big box using it as different modes of transportation going to different parts of the country.

We were able to go outside twice today, the children enjoying the bikes in the morning and then playing with the bouncy balls, soccer balls and basketballs in the afternoon.  In the hallway the children enjoyed the many instruments as well as the black light.

Happy Thursday everyone!

Today we were fortunate with very warm weather which the children enjoyed being outside being able to go outside again at the end of the day.

"We need more dry dirt!" -Sidney G.

In the Maple room children looked over past pictures of structures and ramps and recreated it with others in the classroom.


"I'm gonna make this ramp again, I really liked it!" -Mitchell


"Oh, it fell.. but that's okay we can build it again." -Mark


"The car can go down this ramp!" -Vance

In the hallway children discovered different types of instruments where they pretend to have a parade as well as making up different songs with the bells and drums.


"It is called a cowbell because the instrument is shaped like it's horns see?" -Lysander

Have a wonderful weekend and remember Monday and Tuesday are the only days the children come to the CDLL!

Happy Tuesday Everyone,

Today was our field trip to the Discovery Museum.  All the CDLL children, teachers, and families had a great time during our three hours there.  We're going to let the following pictures show you what our trip was all about.

















When we returned from the field trip, we enjoyed a nice rest time and had very short centers before going outside for the rest of the afternoon.  Many children played hide and seek as well as tag with their teachers.

Hi Families and Friends!

Today at school we had a lot going on! In the kitchen some CMU students came in and showed the children how to make play-doh out of oatmeal. 

In the indoor movement room the children did yoga in the morning and did gymnastics tumbling in the afternoon!

The hallway was a busy place too! Under the black light the children liked to look at their glowing clothes and at all of the highlighter drawings that they have done. 
"Look, my shirts glowing" -Remy

They also had a traveling band in the hallway today!
 


In the Walnut room the kids used the rulers to make shapes and to draw straight lines on their papers.They had to tape pieces of paper together so the whole rule would fit on the page.


Also in the Walnut room the water wall and the wall with ramps and balls was very popular! They loved making new paths for the balls and water to travel down, to see if the path would work or not. 
 


 We hope everyone has a great weekend!
HAPPY SPRING!
