August ate breakfast with Brian and the kids, then played with the Earth globe on the rug. He was in a good mood this morning. We had a brief initial circle time. We helped Delilah feel comfortable, Margot hosted a show-and-tell of her new school bag and we talked about water safety, then we went out in a mild drizzle. August collected water in a bucket and transferred it to many different places. He later used water to cook in the kitchen. During circle time we covered the rules of the room and recess for Delilah (and everyone). We looked at our rock collection and talked about their various attributes. We used rocks and shapes to practice tallying and skip counting by five. We used translucent tiles to make various items (trees, butterflies, etc.).
He rested but did not nap. During circle time we snacked and reviewed the center board. We read A Taste of the Moon (the importance of teamwork), the young’uns scribbled while the elders wrote word from the centerboard and we all had library time.
