He really is having fun!
Very serious buisness!
Chillin' at snack time. . .
Yeah, they're done!
This is Darius' project. I would have had to dig Lorien's out. 9-22-08
9:30am Circle time: Sing good morning songs,Talk about date, Letter of the week, words of the day (Delta, Dinosaurio). Go over day on the Calendar. 10:00am Color letters in book and Spanish page.
10:15am Science: Talked about Fossils and how they were made. Fossils are made when a plant or animal dies and the mud around it hardens. The plant or animal or insect deteriorates. That leaves an empty space, which forms an imprint of a fossil. Sometimes that space is filled up with minerals that become hard rock, that’s called a fossil. I brought plaster mix and jewels and shells. This kids grabbed rocks from the yard. They had such a fun time stiring the plaster. And of course it got all over the work table! But I think the best part was puting the jewels in it. Lorien's shell was too buried in the plaster to work, but Darius' worked just fine!
Math: Work on adding and subtracting things. Have the kids go out into the yard to find rocks or sticks or leaves, bark. Write problems down on paper. So this kind of worked. We'll have to try again on Wednesday. . .
11:00am Exercise: We pretended that the rocks were lava and we couldn't step on them. It was fun to "explore". Darius led the exploration first and then Lorien got a turn. We played Duck Duck Goose. It was a little tricky with just 3 of us. Maybe we'll get the babies to help us out next time. I couldn't get them to stretch with me. Oh well! Too many things to do.

11:30am Read two books. The Dragon Nanny by C.L.G. Martin illustrated by Robert Rayevsky and There's a Dragon in My Sleeping Bag by by James Howe illustrated by David S. Rose. They really enjoyed both books. They asked questions and I'm pretty sure they used their imaginations to see the story. It was great!
11:40am Wash Hands and eat, free play time.
12:00pm Closing Circle time: Talk about assignment to bring something that starts with “D” on Wednesday. I read the following nursery rhyme and tried to sing Do Your Ears Hang Low and Down by the Station. They did not know the songs very well. I'll have to do them again on Wed.

Diddle, diddle, dumpling, my son John,Went to bed with his trousers on;One shoe off, and one shoe on,Diddle, diddle, dumpling, my son John!
Do Your Ears Hang Low?
Do your ears hang low? Do they wobble to and fro?
Can you tie them in a knot? Can you tie them in a bow?
Can you throw them o'er your shoulder like a Continental Soldier?
Do your ears hang low?
Down by the station early in the morning, See the little puffer bellies all in a row.See the engine driver pull the little throttle:Puff, Puff, Toot! Toot! Off we go!
