Circle time: We figured out the day and recited the days of the week in English and Spanish. We sang our good morning song. We said the Pledge of Allegiance. We talked about "H" words and our Happy Day picture. I introduced the words I should have on Wednesday: Helado means Ice-cream in Spanish, and Harmony in English. Darius said he already knew what Harmony meant. It was almost right. But they understood very well once we were done talking about it.
Free Craft time: We didn't have much time for this one since we were going to the Library, so Lorien finished writing "H's" in her Journal and Darius worked on a craft with popcicle sticks.
Science: I asked Darius and Lorien to add four drops of food coloring to the glass of cold water and hot water. Then we watched to see how long it took for them it to mix completely into the water. So it appears that this doesn't work. But if you look closely, Darius' color sinks to the bottom (cold water) and Lorien's mixes throughout. (Lorien didn't put her drops of color in the cup at the same time, either). They had a lot of fun with this experiment.
We also discussed hard and soft water. Hard water (we added salt to tap water) prohibited the soap from creating many bubbles. The soft water (just regular tap water) produced an inch more bubbles than the hard water. Lorien and Darius loved shaking their water bottles as hard as they could.
Snack Time: They washed hands, ate, and got to play for a little bit.
Library Time: We forgot to do closing circle time. But the kids are really getting the routine at the library down. They both listen to Story time (Darius sneaked away to give Leilah a kiss). Then they pile into the children's area. Darius heads straight for the computer to look up "Pokemon" and Lorien went to the librarian at the counter to ask for the princess book. She can't check it out since it's reference. Leilah and Vanessa both get board books and read while in the Duo Glider. All while the mommy's look for books that will fit the preschool criteria for the following week.
