Day 4:
Circle Time, 9:30: Lorien, Darius and Anne sat in a circle and talked about the letter B. We found more words that start with B. Our word of the day was Beseech, meaning to beg. I think the work should have been beg. And the Spanish word was Buho which is Owl. Then we had sharing time. Darius brought a bag that he uses to carry everything in. Especially cars. Lorien brought her Barbie, and a butterfly finger puppet she got from Armstrong Grove. We then moved to the table (so the babies couldn't get in the way) and did math with buttons! I used flashcard with addition equations. They both knew all the numbers and made piles of buttons for each number and then counted them all together. They had a hard time starting on a number and counting from there. They had to start from 1 to be able to find the answer. We'll have to work more on counting, starting with a number other than 1, in the future.
Free Art time, 9:50: Lorien painted and made sure there wasn't any white showing (She had to leave it there 'cause it didn't dry on time.) Darius drew a picture on lined paper and cut it out to paste it onto construction paper. That also was super wet, so it had to stay on the counter to dry. They they got the play dough out!
Science, 10:15: We studied the different types of bark. Bark is the outer layer of trees. They took paper and crayons all around Farah's backyard and set the paper against the bark so they could rub the crayon on it and see the design it made. They had lots of fun. They found some trees that were rough and some that were smooth.
Reading, 10:30: Soon Baboon Soon, by Dave Horowitz and The Secret Science Project that Almost Ate the School by Judy Sierra Pictures by Stephen Gammell. We forgot to do the calendar at the beginning so we did it after reading time.
10:45: Wash hands, eating, free play time.
Field Trip, 11:30: We all piled into our own cars and drove to Petco. We looked at lizards, turtles, fish, snakes, hermit crabs, mice, rats, guinea pigs and forgot to go look at birds. After talking about what needs to be done for fish and hermit crabs, the kids finally decided on hermit crabs. We picked out water bowls and food bowls, new shells, and of course the hermit crabs. Lorien and Darius got to choose the ones they wanted. It was limited to the ones that came out and moved around! We'll keep you posted on whether they survive or not!
