Last Friday

This is a little (lot!) delayed post about last friday. I've been amazed at the positive vibe in the class this fall. Either all the kids miraculously matured over the summer break or Natasha's magical coins are doing their magic or it's the positive energy and the enthusiasm that she brings to the class. Whatever the reason, it is a true pleasure to see the kids so engaged and actually taking pride in being nice.
I did not witness any crying or tantrums. The new kids in the class have adjusted so well and so quickly.
For snackwe had the absolute favorite of all times Veggie booty. There was also frozen blueberries and soy milk. We all enjoyed becoming bluberry monsters and admired our very blue mouths and fingers in the mirrors for some time. I'm experiencing a camera malfunction so there are no pictures to show fo this.
The art activity involved paints and straw and then folding the paper to make a pattern and guessing what the pattern was.
Mr. Craig brought Howdy the cowboy and a racoon hat that scared a few of our friends but they recovered pretty quickly. He also brought a string instrument that kids took turn playing.
I had a fantastic time and am looking forward to the next parent helper day.
