First Day of School!

 Ernest signs in first thing.  We all did such a great job with our morning routine...especially writing our names!




Friends make placemats to use during snacks and lunch.  This will make it so that our morning and afternoon snack helpers can start recognizing their friends names.  What a great way to encourage and reinforce those early literacy skills!




Our magnifying blocks were a hit this morning :)








Friends LOVED exploring our nature table.  Weighing rocks, sea shells, acorns and sea glass gave us lots to talk about!  So many math concepts rolled into one exploration!



Eamonn enjoys the sand table and construction vehicles during morning free choice.


Who doesn't love a snuggle with a good book?!?!?!


Friends pause for a photo opp in the block area.  Seriously, Ms. Christina?  Another picture?


We pass the globe to each friend during our "Hello Hello" song.  This is always such a great way to start our morning meetings. 


Snack time!  Cheeeeeeeeese!


Graham, the puzzle master, works on our train puzzle during quiet choices.  Nice work, Graham!


Lexi and Lorelei work together to complete our alphabet puzzle...great teamwork!


Friends enjoy one of our books on CD during quiet choices.  We love Peanut Butter and Cupcake!


Acorns galore!


Friends find a golf ball buried in our mud kitchen dirt pile.  They work very hard to excavate said golf ball to no avail.  Stay tuned...I think we'll get it during afternoon recess!


Drew takes a break from outdoor play.  Being a Discoverer is exhausting!


Graham gets cozy before rest time.


Before we all snuggle in for rest time, we gather for a read aloud.
