News of the Day 9-16-2008

• During arrival we worked with play dough and talked about the giant pumpkin that arrived with Elena. We're still not sure if Cormac is in it or not. We didn't see him anywhere...
  
• During Hello Meeting we sang "Where is ____" (Frere Jacques) and some of us hid so we could pop out and say "Here I Am!" Slipper greeting of course. We also talked about our survey of 'Who likes crunchy cereal and who likes soggy cereal'
  
• During Explore Andy introduced new watercolors! We spent much of our time creating beautiful artwork that will be amongst the first artifacts to be included in your child's portfolio. We also worked in the kitchen and served food to Andy
  
• For snack we had tings and melons. We counted 3 melons and 6 tings and then passed it on...
  
• For Morning Meeting we read Part 2 of 'Poppleton in Winter'. We told our News of the Day and sang a Twinkle Twinkle, by request of Nico.
  
• Outside we planted "stick gardens" in the sandbox for the whoooooooole time (now I have to go take the sticks out)...
  
• After lunch we read Part 3 of 'Poppleton' and finished it! We love Poppleton!!! Ask to see if your little person remembers who knocked down Poppleton's icicles and how he reacted...
