Beatrix ate a late breakfast with the kids. She was happy to see her friends and she shared the trains on the mat with everyone. 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. Beatrix sat on a car with Janet and Isla. She was very excited to be outside and she flapped her hands in excitement. 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.).
She slept about 110 minutes in one nap, walking up around 1:45 p.m. 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.
