Thursday already! We finished up our boats this morning to hang up, Kylie had the idea and we went with it! Here's what they look like:


We also found baby rabbits this morning while on a walk. They talked me into letting them keep them in a box and feeding them... hopefully they survive until Friday!

-Tuesday-

Hope everyone had wonderful weekends, it sounds like most of the kids went fishing yesterday!

Today, we were kinda lazy:) A few of the kids colored this morning, otherwise we spent the morning learning thru play... The big kids put on a few different puppet shows for us. They are now busy setting up the resturant for after nap! Oh, the things they talk me into:-))) Their restaurant will feature 2 tables so they can have an option on where to sit, so they don't have to sit at the same table everytime they come!!!, or so I'm told!!!

Breakfast: cereal, apple
Lunch: chicken & cheese tortillas, lettuce, grapes
Snack: fruit pizza

Robots

Here's pictures of our robot theme! Enjoy:)

Robot treats that will go home on Friday



Robot snack



Instead of Simon Says, they played Robot Says


Construction Paper Robots... Love them! I wrote their name "robot" style and let them trace it!

Who's missing game
shape robots

Tin can robots, turned out super cute. I also saw another idea where you put magnet buttons on the nuts and bolts so they can re-arrange them as they wish.





They also had fun playing with nuts and bolts in the sensory table, sorry I forgot to snap a picture!

Friday

Happy Friday! Today, we talked a little bit about Memorial Day, but it's something that they don't understand very easily. We made flags and attached a poem with our handprint below... Very cute! They thought it was fun to paint over the tape and then remove the tape to see the red and white stripes! Magic!!!

So much fun playing outside this morning, we re-filled the water tables. They also played with the "store" at the end of the road, so they could have a drive up store:)

HAVE A WONDERFUL AND SAFE WEEKEND! I will see you all on Tuesday!

Breakfast: french toast sticks, grapes
Lunch: ham sandwiches, baked beans, strawberries, grapes, chips
Snack: sugar cookie bar's

Pretty sure the 2 little ones didn't enjoy this as much as the 2 big ones!

Wow! Can't believe it's Wednesday already! The kids played so nice this morning, we didn't have time to do a project, which is ok too. It was fun to watch them all interact together and find everyone a person to be, one was the griller, a mom, the kids, the money taker, etc!

Rosie was out to read stories and we went out to play in the wind!

Breakfast: waffles, grapes
Lunch: pizza hotdish, california blend veggies, peaches
Snack: doritos
