First Day!

 We have pictures from our open house last week, but they aren't actually on my computer yet ;0)  We had a wonderful first day today - so much fun!  I think the open house was a great way for everyone to get a taste and be excited to come back for more.  We have a terrific group of children and families!
Ezra at the chalkboard

Our  class: Mandolin, Silas, Rachel, Josie, Gigi, Isaac, & Ezra. Today we had organic oat groats with homemade yogurt, blueberries, and honey for snack! 

Washing our cups...everyone loved this job :0)
Josie, Rachel, Isaac, Mandolin & Gigi love fingerpainting!  We talked about friends at storytime & read Little Blue & Little Yellow (they hugged so hard they turned GREEN!).

Silas & Gigi discovering colors

Rachel LOVES to paint :0)
Isaac was eager to see what would happen if we mixed our playdough, too!

More chalkboard fun

Josie was adding to Silas's writing!

Ezra enjoying the trains & trucks

Miss Abbie helping to hang some new shelves for the kitchen area

Mandolin marks where to put the nails while Miss Abbie & Josie hold it up...

Isaac did the hammering!

Who is this beautiful ladybug??  Hi Rachel!
I think Mandolin said she was "Tigris" (from Kung Foo Panda!)

Another lovely ladybug - Gigi!

We also read "When Fall Comes" & talked about things we do in the fall & the changing weather.  Here is Josie, Rachel, Ezra & Miss Abbie wet felting colored wool into little balls to make.....

Acorns!  They glued them into acorn tops - if you did not get yours today they will be dry by next week ;0)

Some funny tea?

Lunchtime!

We started our second outdoor time on the playground, but someone noticed the bridge - I think it was Isaac - so we all decided to hike up there to see what there was to do.  Amazing...they started collecting acorns, then they all played in the dirt til it was time to go!

Abbie & Ezra made an acorn racetrack & had a race









Ah, yes, Miss Shannon is actually in some pictures, too! 
Here we are setting up a tic tac toe board & playing with acorns & acorn tops - Silas beat me so then he got to play Isaac!
What a fun day!  Abbie & I loved playing and learning with your children today & are already planning for next week - see you all soon!
