When we first came into the room we played with puzzles, built with our little ladders, and drew/colored with crayons. Then we all came up on the floor with Miss Kathleen for circle and practiced sitting criss-cross applesauce on our own spots. We read the story of the Gingerbread Man and helped by chanting, "Run, run as fast as you can. You can't catch me, I'm the gingerbread man!"
Then we held onto our walking rope and went down to the bathroom for the first time as 3s! We all practiced going in and sitting on potty, washing our hands with one squirt of soap, and using one (or two) paper towels to dry our hands. We waited in the hall until everyone was finished, then walked back to the room and went to centers.
Some of us stated out by working on our calendars with Mrs. Hennessey--we loved putting the stickers on them! Others worked at playdough or building with our giant legos. Then we switched and switched again. By the end, everyone got a turn to do everything!
It was almost the end of the day, so we came back up to the rug for our ending circle. We talked about the fun things we had done and sang a song about the gingerbread man. You might have heard us singing it when we got home.
Gingerbread, gingerbread, turn around.
Gingerbread, gingerbread, touch the ground.
Gingerbread, gingerbread, climb the stairs.
Gingerbread, gingerbread, say your prayers.
Gingerbread, gingerbread, turn out the light.
Gingerbread, gingerbread, say goodnight.
