Out in the Woods

We began to brush our teeth. The children listened as we talked about not sharing our tooth brushes with others. In fact we talked about the fact that germs are not for sharing more then anything. This is one of my biggest issues with brushing teeth. The kids are all so proud of their tooth brushes that we are making sure that they don't share them with their best friends. Most of the children enjoyed the spitting out the water part. We are encouraging them to brush their teeth after they have had snack.

We are still working on colors and letters. Many of the children are able to recognize the letter that begins their first and last name. We are leaving this work out for the children to do on their own. Debi and I have watched some of the children do this exercise with their friends. It is fun to watch.
The sun made an appearance. We were so excited that we went back out to the woods for another hike. The early morning class threw snowballs at Ms.Mary Lou's windows to get her attention. She was pleasantly surprised. With our second class everyone was fully dressed for a walk into the snow. We went in a new direction deeper into the woods. The kids sat on a few fallen trees and we found some deer hoof prints in the snow. The kids were very excited about this. We headed back into the classroom after 30 minutes of being outside. Everyone was tired and hungry. The children had snack and worked on their self portraits and headed home for the weekend.

Remember to come visit the other classrooms it will be time to register for fall very soon. The auction less then a month away. This week we are making our second project for your bidding pleasure so remember to get a sitter and come out to the action.
