We had a very messy Wednesday in our classroom! At our center with Miss Kathleen we dipped yarn in glue and then spread it around on wax paper pumpkin shapes. Some of us really liked getting all gluey and messy! We worked on our field trip t-shirts with Mrs. Hennessy. She painted our knuckles orange and we stamped them on our t-shirts to make pumpkins. It's going to be really fun to wear them on Monday. (Remember our class doesn't come to school on Monday. We meet at the Y pumpkin patch at about 9:50.) Our last center up on the rug was playing with housekeeping. We had baby dolls, kitchen sets, and cars. We made a mess, but we were really good at cleaning up when we finished!
When we went outside today, we played all over the playground, but then some of our class got together to do a show. We've done this a couple of times over the last few weeks. We sit on the steps and then we take turns performing. We always clap for our friends--and sometimes jump up out of our seats to perform right along with them. By the time we finished today we had a lot of friends from other classes who had joined us. (This is a completely kid-driven activity. They invited me over to watch, but they were definitely in charge! Kathleen)
Then when we came back in for snack we had another treat! We sang "Happy Birthday" to Leighson and she shared some delicious cupcakes with us. Some of us needed spoons to eat every last bit of ours!
