What a gorgeous day, the sunny is shining (at least this morning) and you couldn’t ask for anything better then that! I cleaned up the backyard today; put away the remaining tools, sprinklers, and other garden implements that were over looked from summer. Also took out the center tiles for the patio table, and brought them in for winter, which didn’t get much use this season. Hopefully next year…
Today in school, the kids got to feel the inside a pumpkin. Isabel said that it was slimy inside and the seeds were hard. Mrs. “W” and Ms. Calvert put an electric light inside their pumpkin, turned off the classroom lights and the kids got to see the glow from the pumpkin. They sang, “This Little Light of Mine” and read “The Pumpkin Patch Parable” by Liz Curtis Higgs. Isabel was thrilled that it was the same book that she has at home!
They went to Chapel again today. Isabel couldn’t remember what they talked about but did remember Mrs. Scott was there and they sang songs. She learned a new song that she’s been singing all afternoon…
Goodbye! Goodbye!
To you… and you… and you.
Goodbye! Goodbye!
May God watch over you!
They played outside on a different playground again today. But all they did was run on the sidewalk because they weren’t allowed to go on the grass because it was wet. During free play Isabel played at the sensory table, that is now filled with sand. She said she built a sandcastle and cupcakes. She was even blowing sand on people and making a big mess (we had a talk about this, because come to find out, she was blowing it in the other kids faces…not good!). It’s alright to play with the sand but keep it in the bin and NO blowing!
Isabel talked with Zachary and Makayla today and told Makayla, that she made banana bread yesterday. They sang the “Beaver” and “Sally the Camel” songs. Some of the kids brought leaves in to show the class, Makayla brought in leaves and an ACORN!
The special helper today was Eden and she’s a girl with blonde hair. Eden brought Minnie Mouse in a white flowered dress AND a lion whose name was “Noah” for show and tell. For snack they had fruit snacks, fishy crackers, and juice to drink. Ms. Calvert helped Isabel open her snacks and juice because she said, please.
