Circus week!

Hello All! First I would like to welcome a new friend and her name is Kaylin. Today was her first day at Coastal and I think she did such a great job at being brave and getting involved in activities she felt comfortable with. I look forward to having her back on Thursday so we can all get to know her a little bit more.

So far this week we have made some super fun art. Yesterday we made clown faces with circles, triangles, glue, and colored pencils. Each friend made their own mouth depending on their mood. haha. Today we made Elephant Ears with paper plates, a strip of paper for the head band, glitter, and paint. They painted the plate grey and then added silver, blue or red glitter to fancy it up and did the same with the strip of paper. After it's all dry...we will cut the plate in half and add the strip to it and vwalllla...Elephant Ears. At table one we did clown painting. I gave them 8 different pictures to look at of things you find at the circus and they painted their own picture. At table two was book reading. They had 10 different Disney books to look through and read. And lastly on the carpet, race cars. This very quickly went from vrooom vroooom to VRRRROOOOOOM VRRRROOOOOOOM! hahahaha.

Outside they did their usual dump truck show! Big jumps and Lot's of air. =0) Tag with Donovan and Jacob. And water play in the red tub with buckets, brushes for cleaning, and bowls. Abbie and Taylor used the bowls of water to water the wood chips to show me how flowers are made. What little country bun kins with their planting and watering and love for the outdoors. Christian and Eli were hard at work trying to find a new kind of bug. Nothing new yet, but I bet soon. haha.

Yesterday's Comment: Sydni - "Are we making Jack-n-the-box heads? Cuz they look just like him!" hahaha. This comment was made while making the clown heads. Funny too because, they really do look like Jack-n-the-box antenna heads.

Today's Comment: Riley - "I am a writer and I remember things from school to put in my book. You can sit with me if you like and watch. Ok, I'm done for now. Maybe some more will pop up later." This boy is sooooo fun to hang out with. His use of words blows me away everyday I get to hang out with him. And he cracks me up, too!!!! So super fun.

I would like to let all the families know that because of my recent move...I don't have Internet access to blog. So I will try to blog as often as possible until I get Internet, but until then there will be a written log at school that you may find in the Sea Star art file. I will write in it everyday as I do here. When we come back from summer break on the 2nd of September I will then be in the Jellyfish room full time. My Jellyfish families will be able to see this log book hanging next to the Parent board.

I'm sorry I don't have pictures to post, but my camera is missing in action. haha. I'll try to get the pictures I took with my phone posted real soon.

I hope you all have a fantastic night and I will see you all in the morning! Take care.
