"Today was full of smiles as we enjoyed the beautiful weather and spent lots of time soaking up the sunshine! We collected nasturtium flowers and used then to both add color and flavor to our cream cheese for snack and we travelled back in time to ancient Greece where we played checkers - did you know they played checkers?!? We also enjoyed another of Aesop's fables - The City Mouse and the Country Mouse."
"We enjoyed such a beautiful day at the farm today! Our day was based on the story of The Robber in the Old Orchard - complete with story time in our our old orchard, searching for birds that make their home at the farm, pretending to be birds and make a nest, and having eggs for snack. We also had fun during music and watercolor painting a picture that we will use for a project in October."

Notes from her class, Wednesday, Sept. 19th:
"We had a busy day today complete with a journey to Greece! While we visited Greece we talked about the first Olympics, participated in a mini-pentathlon, looked at olive trees, and heard the story of The Boy Who Cried Wolf. We also heard the version of The Wolf Who Cried Boy! We added a second form to our form drawing book - the curve and created a story picture out of the letter B. Our sound sentence was: Spin thin tin in the bin. Try saying that three times fast! We had a lot of fun and enjoyed a beautiful day at the farm!"
After each class Lili's instructor at her classes sends out a little email about some of the things they did for the day. It is nice to read and I thought the rest of the family might enjoy the updates on her class adventures. It is such a great place!
DAY 2: "We had a great day in class today - beautiful weather, happy kids, and lots of fun! We started off with a group circle time with poems and movements, then fed the animals and ourselves - making a yummy spiced apple snack! We also explored the farm and had fun playing together. We began our form drawing book and worked with a first form. Finally, each week we will be playing a word game with words in the same word family. This weeks' sentence was: he forbid the kid to get rid of the squid. At my house, we are going to write the sentence and illustrate it tomorrow for practice with handwriting and word endings. I hope your child had a great day and I look forward to next week!"
DAY 3:"Have you ever give much thought to the growing of popcorn? We decided to grow popcorn this year and we harvested it last week. This week, examined some popcorn still on the cob and made popcorn for snack. We also, read a story about a corn seed thief, collected a variety of seeds, and made a scarecrow! I don't know how we fit all of that into one rainy day, but we did!"
