Happy Birthday Grace !

Grace is 3.

We had "Two bite Brownies" and Bananas. The big hit was the pink napkins,
as you will see!

Snakes Alive!

Snakes were not part of the lesson plan today, but the tables were separated,
the children noticed and voila!

Still a little zig and zag in the line.

A new toy!

An old favorite!

The Pumpkin Patch is Open!

After 25 years of selling pumpkins on Johnson Ferry (almost literally on the road),
the pumpkin patch is now safely located off the lower parking area...

Mary had a little lamb

Wheels on the Bus

Emily was the line leader of the day. She brought an Elmo, lift the flap book,
check mix and fig Newtons...a huge hit.

We also read "Small Pig" a story of a farmer and his very tidy wife who cleaned up the pig sty and caused the pig to leave the farm in search of mud. Here we are in our mud puddle getting very dirty. Today's opposite: Clean and dirty.

Under the boardwalk

Suddenly the children have discovered there is more to the
playground than they originally noticed

The Zoo

When is a tire a door?

Puff the Magic Dragon!

Puff the Magic Dragon was today's story brought by Sam . He also brought yummy homemade cookies that his Daddy baked! Oh yeah, the book came with a CD and hear the girls are rocking out to Puff...not the original PP&M version, but groovy transcends generations.

Chapel Time with Pastor Steve

Today we went to the Sanctuary for Chapel Time with Pastor Steve. he read the story about the loaves and fishes and the importance of sharing. The children were amazingly well behaved.
We also sang, "He's got the Whole World in His Hands" and "This little light of mine, I'm going to let it shine!"

Kate was today's lineleader

Kate brought a great snack that kept everyone at the table for 20 minutes.
We had cheddar popcorn, banana chips and chocolate graham cookies.
The book she brought was Dora's Halloween ....seems we will have 11 Dora's and one swiper for Halloween.

7 is the new 9

Marlene is teaching them the days of the week...first in English.

Jumping with 2 feet

Charting their abilities

Here Ann is checking to see who can jump with both feet.
(I don't think Gabriella was actually hit)

Style points!

Intro to Lacross 101

Ann Sands is taking movement to a whole new level ! Today she dressed in all of her Lacrosse gear to show the children what it looked like and let them touch it.

Then they had a chance to scoop up the balls and carry them a distance before dumping them in a bucket.

And they're off....!

Learning to scoop up the balls
