Just Keep Swimming!

Thursday, May 9th : Just keep swimming! 


Happy Thursday!


T, Y and A were back again today and both did a wonderful job of using their fingers to decorate their special surprise for their moms! Nice work! At the first activity table this morning, there were our favorite animal puzzles set out, ready for us to solve! N and M both worked together to complete the cow shape! N made animal sounds as M giggled. Great teamwork! M also came by to try her hand at the sheep puzzle. She loves the sheep shape! Baaaaaa!


At the second activity table, was our beloved play doh. I and L made animal footprints in their clay together! I made pig tracks and Louis stamped his giraffe’s hooves into the clay too! L noted, saying “the giraffe stamp is bigger!”. I also used the cookie cutter to make a flower shape. He really enjoys squishing the clay in his hands! It’s lots of fun!


In the free play room, the animal toys sat ready for adventure! P showed T the snake and how he can stretch out super long! Wow! I brought his goat friend to trot along, trip trapping across the floor. Does he know the Three Billy Goats Gruff? T galloped with his horse friend under the table and found some delicious grass for it to eat! Munch munch!


Pretty soon it was time to clean up and sit down for circle time, where we had the final practice for our Mother's Day routine! The buds friends are so excited to share with moms tomorrow! We read the story “Swimmy”, about a little fish who used teamwork and friendship to stay safe from a big hungry tuna fish! Gulp! Just like the Buds friends, we are stronger together!


After we enjoyed our snacks, we left for a big stroll outside! We saw lots of flowers and it was very cool outside! Where is summer?! We eventually made our way to the fire station, where they had all the trucks out on display! D jumped up and down with excitement at the sight of the beautiful big red fire trucks! After seeing Doheon, everyone wad filled with excitement too! NEE! NAA! NEE! NAA!


See you tomorrow!


Love,

Buds
