I was the parent helper in the twos today and there was a "conflict" where one of the kids was hit. Angela handled it pretty well with both the kids and took the opportunity to talk to eveyone about it and all was fine in 5 mins.
When I got back from the co-op day Maya and I were talking and she said you know what happened today, I asked what and then Maya launched into this animated narrative about how so and so punched so and so in the 2's class and the kid fell backwards and rolled over... trust me it was a very long, animated account. It's quite amazing how the incident made it to the 4s so quickly, so exaggerated and with such inventive details.... I'm sure a big part of it has to be Maya's imagination.
Other than that we did a scaled down version ice cube trasure hunt from the Let's explore website. The theme during the circle time today seemed to be animals biting the kids. It started with a how a mosquito bit Emma, then moved to a tiger biting Calum, a Shark biting Caleb and some other animals in between and ended with Anjali complaining about Maya hitting her. I think she thought somehow that fit with the general theme of the conversation.
On the field trip I think we are going to try to get the van and Natasha has volunteered Chris for the driver spot(thank you very much:-)). Angela is going to send everyone an email about it soon.
Water play was fun, as always!

Hello Everyone,
I haved planned a field trip to the Nature Center on July 15th. We will be leaving school at 9:00 so it is important that you have your child here by 8:15am 8:30 at the latest. We have to put name tags on the children and put their carseats in the van and i want to make sure that we have enough time to do that. We should be back by lunch time. If you have any questions or concerns please feel free to ask or talk to me. See you guys later!
