The Older Infants have had a busy morning reading books about spring. They learned about being on the lookout for robins, worms and the like. They carried this further by looking for these signs out their own classroom window. And that was followed by playing in oatmeal in the texture table - maybe they were digging for pretend worms! Oatmeal everywhere, boy it's fun to be 1.
The snow is finally melting in the back field and the Toddlers are taking full advantage of this by hiking waaaaay out to the back of the hills. This feels so good after so many sub-zero days where we were cooped up inside. You should see them eat lunch and sleep after that - wow! There's nothing like fresh air and exercise to zonk out the little ones (big ones too)!
The Kindergarteners are having a special event this week. They are hosting a reading/pizza party and inviting some of the senior citizens from Wescourt to join them. It is so sweet to see the children paired up with the seniors and reading the beginning reader books to them. Their skills are really taking off this week as they add second vowels to words. Readers are leaders!
