Thursday!

Today was all about CORN CORN CORN! When I brought out an ear of corn at circle time the girls were clueless of what it was! I asked what they thought it was and Josslin said a Banana. Kendyl and Ashlyn's faces were priceless as they stared at it. All the children felt it, but Ashlyn didn't really want to have anything to do with it. We read a book about the different senses on the Farm. After circle time we removed the husk and silk from the corn. The girls loved this part! We cleaned the corn and made Corn Pudding! For art today we painted with corn. Cecelia and Josslin loved creating art work, while Kendyl, Alyssa, and Ashlyn enjoyed feeling the textures of the corn during the art project. We had a wonderful day in the Playroom!

Wednesday!

We had a great day! We read the story 'The Very Hungry Caterpillar', then we all created a Caterpillar on a leaf. When it was time to glue out Caterpillars on our leaves I said to Alyssa "Okay press down", she then took both of her hands and pressed down on her Caterpillar! Kendyl did a great job at creating her Caterpillar with the Paint dots she is getting the hang of the motion you have to do when you use the Paint Dots. Cecelia and Josslin enjoyed us sing 'Five Little Monkeys' today. They decided to climb up on the slide and act like Monkeys. We got the Bean Bag out and everyone took turns jumping off the slide on to the Bean Bag. We hope Ashlyn is feeling better, we missed her today :(

Tuesday!

I hope everybody had a wonderful Labor Day Weekend! I am glad to see everyone did their homework! I love how all the Piggys turned out different. Today we started talking about the names of baby animals such as Piglets, Lambs, Calf, Ducklings etc. I was so proud that Cecelia has learned all of them already! Josslin did a great job on the potty this weekend. She is officially in Big Girl Panties! She is getting so big! Today during art we painted with Cotton Tails :). Alyssa sis a great job dipping the Cotton Tails in white paint then dabbing them across her paper! Ashlyn enjoyed taking a walk today. The weather was beautiful outside with a nice breeze. The sensory table was filled with wild seeds last week and we left it out for the animals to enjoy, and boy that have! Every time we look out our window it looks like a Wild Kingdom! We have all enjoyed watching the different animals that come into the yard.

TGIF!

We had a wonderful Friday! We countinued talking about Farm Animals today. We talked about the different senses that are on the Farm. We enjoyed looking out of the window at watching all the animals eating the food we left outside yesturday. Today Cecelia and Josslin made Piggys. Alyssa, Kendyl, and Ashlyn will be making Piggys this weekend. I can't wait to see them next week! Have a wonderful Labor Day Weekend! Wish us luck Josslin should be in Big Girl Panties come Monday!

Thursday!

Today we were visited by Kendyl and her Mommy, on her Mommy's day off! We sang 'Old Mcdonald', the girls have a wonderful snort for the Piggy! We talked about how horses eat hay and we painted our own hay by using Pipe Cleaners and orange paint. We speant some time outside enjoying the fresh air. The girls enjoyed playing in the sensory table, it was filled with wild bird seed. We talked about the different things inside the seed: corn, peanuts, sunflower seeds. We enjoyed the Princess Pig book again today, it is a really cute story about a Pig that thinks she is a Princess.

Wednesday!

Its sad to say there will be no more Wacky Water Wednesday :( Its getting to chilly outside to get wet. So instead of Wacky Water Day, we went to the Playground. It was a nice walk up to the school and back. Walter was able to join us too! Before we went for a walk we read a few books about Farms. We also painted with paint rollers today. Everyone enjoyed painting with different colors and patterns! I thought I would make today's blog special by putting in a movie, this is just a glips of the movie I am putting together. Hope you enjoy! We had such a blast today!

Tuesday!

What a beautiful cool breeze today! The girls enjoyed spending some fresh air time outside. Kendyl walked around in the walker. Ashlyn took a ride in the pink car. Cecelia and Josslin played basketball with their Daddy and the basketball hoop. Everyone had their Lunch outside today which was a special treat. We read the book 'Princess Pig' and the book 'Farm Senses', to go along with our Farm theme this month. The girls also enjoyed talking about the Calendar today. We learned a new song today called 'Days of the Week'. The song goes to the tune of the 'Adams Family Theme Song'.

This is a song we will be singing everyday during Calendar Time. Its a fun song that you can enjoy with your children at home too. Ashlyn, Cecelia, and Josslin painted with the Paint Dots today. It was there first time painting with them and they had a blast. Kendyl was taking her nap during art today so she will be doing her art project this afternoon. We would also like to give a HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY to WENDY (Ashlyn's Mommy)!
