We were all ready for our morning work as soon as we came in to the room. Some of us didn't even take our coats off first! We especially liked some of the new scraps in our cutting basket!
After cleaning up our morning work, we did our calendar, said the Pledge of Allegiance, and sang "Salute the Flag" before taking a bathroom break. We came back and started our centers right away so we would have sometime to go outside. We worked on geoboards with Mrs. Hennessy; did some cutting and pasting with Miss Kathleen; and played with our pirates, castle blocks, and doll house up on the rug.
When we came in from outside we had music with Miss Caitlin. We sang Happy Birthday to our 3 birthday boys (https://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/8myGBI4QCW7ZUDFy6qEicGDenxmP95iCM-kDm9HJmgg?feat=directlink) and some Valentine songs (https://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/0xDRUo8DBsec1WIad5xhpmDenxmP95iCM-kDm9HJmgg?feat=directlink) including "Do You Know My Valentine?" Then it was time to have a special treat for our birthday boys!
After most of us had finished our snack, most of the girls came up on the rug with the magic wands that were in their birthday goodie bags. While we were waiting for our story, there was an island-wide power failure. We tried to use our magic wands to make the lights come back on...Sure enough, just as we finished saying for the fifth time, "Abracadabra, lights come back on!" They came on! We decided that maybe our wands really were magic!
