Our focus today was Squares. We talked about various items that are square shaped and had each child share a little about what square item they brought.
I gave each child a square sewing card. They really took their time lacing the wholes and then asked me to undo them so they could sew them again. It's interesting how some things can really keep their attention while others don't.
We then went to the table to make Square Robots, we cut and pasted square shapes for the bodies and then added google eyes and different foam shapes for buttons. They really got into the foam stickers.
They then played outside while I cleaned up and got snack time ready. At the kids request Uncle Mark did bubbles with them again and they jumped on the trampoline.
For snack time Aisa was our helper today and he was such a gentleman passing out a bowl to each of them. They sure remember which helper they are even when I can't! ;) We had square peanut butter crackers, cubes of cheese, grapes (I know they are not square but went well with the cheese) and lemonade.
After snack time we talked about the number 2 and watched a clip from classic Sesame Street "Toucan Two Step". They were so cute dancing along with the clip. They can really move! :)
We also counted and talked about having 2 eyes, 2 ears, 2 hands and 2 feet. For our art project we made sack puppets and the kids glued on 2 of each body part.
We then sang songs about 2. 2 little speckled frogs and 2 little monkeys teasing Mr Alligator. We used the puppets from the FunBox, they were adorable and the kids had a blast!! I wish I had taken a picture of the kids sing the songs, they really loved taking turns being the alligator and snatching the monkeys up.
Kuulei brought fruit snacks to share, so they sat pretty still and ate them while I read a story (Thanks, Kuulei). Then their parents showed up and it was time to go.
Well it was another great day at school, Kailia had fun having everyone come to her house. Can't wait until next week!
