Shiney Raindrops!

Hola! So. Today wasn't really all that amazingly interesting in the morning. I got there before the kids so I got to help out with getting stuff together and hang out. Then the kids started coming in. We were missing a lot of kids either because of the weather or because they were sick. There was roughly about 5 or 6 kids missing in the morning class, which doesn't really leave a lot of kids left. So once the kids got there, they played until their first circle time. When they got to circle time, they talked about the normal stuff like the day and month and pattern and weather and yada yada yada. They read the book, "Peterkin's Wet Walk" by Emilie Boon. The theme was raining, which I found very entertaining because there was still a TON of snow on the ground. They talked about their daily projects which were to glue together an umbrella and put one shiney raindrop on it and some clouds and stuff like that. Then they were allowed to go and play and be merry until it was time to go to the rumpus room.

None of the kids really seemed to want to play anything with me today. They all seemed pretty tired, which i can understand because of the time change and what not. Once they got back to the room, they played until it was the second circle time. Once there, they read the book, "Caught in the Rain" by Beatrize Ferra and Michele Sambin. While they were doing that, the helpers set up snack and then the kids were allowed to go and eat their snack and get ready to go either home or to lunch bunch.

After l;unch, the afternoon kids came in. They like me to play with them. My goal of the day was to get the little girl who is always really quiet (it seems) to talk more about anything I could think of asking her about. And it worked. So wohoo to me. I got her to just go on and on and on and on about her favorite color and if she likes big dogs or little dogs. As I said. Random stuff of doom (it's very doomfull). Then it was circle time, where the kids talked about the month and day and all that other good stuff and read their book and talked about their daily project. Then they went to play and the kids all wanted me to play with them. So I built a rocket with them out of blocks and a tower and a little town and I colored with them and made snowmen out of play dough and played house.

Then, we went to the rumpus room where they wanted to play hide-and-seek and tag. I've noticed that there is a difference in some of the kids. The kids who are smaller and have shorter legs like to play hide-and-seek, while the kids who are taller and have longer legs like to play tag. Interesting little observation I think. Anyways. After we got back, they played some and did circle time and got ready for snack and then sadly, I had to go. But I told them I'd come and play with them again on Thursday.
