We were very busy during morning work! We had our gear plate out--and a lot of us built gear chains and made them move.
It was beautiful on the playground this morning! We spent a lot of time on the bridge of our playground equipment. We read The Billy Goats Gruff from our new box of books (Fairy Tales and Nursery Rhymes--marked with an F) and reenacted the story on the playground with our own bridge! Of course, everyone wanted to be a billy goat!
When we got back to the classroom we counted to 22 for our calendar, said the Pledge of Allegiance, sang Salute the Flag, and got ready for centers. At our rug center we played with big LEGOS and housekeeping again. We've really enjoyed this center!
At Miss Paula's center we made billy goats! Then we retold the story of the billy goats crossing the bridge using our billy goats!
At Miss Kathleen's center we played in our sensory bin. While we counted "treasures" and scooped up beans and corn kernels, Miss Kathleen started doing some evaluations about our knowledge of colors and numbers.
