A rainy week brought moments of listening, exploring, encouraging one another, and celebrating together.
Inside the classroom, we opened the loft for the very first time. With excitement and care, the children practiced climbing up and safely making their way back down. As each friend descended, encouraging voices called out “Good job!” while joyful greetings of “Hi!” echoed down from up high. At snack time, we enjoyed reading Put Me in the Zoo by Robert Lopshire. The children delighted in the silly scenes and imaginative possibilities the story offered.
With rain falling throughout the week, we leaned into the experience with curiosity, wondering what we might discover by using our senses. Outside, we listened to raindrops tapping against bowls and tubs, watched as rainwater slowly gathered in buckets, and explored the cool feeling of water with our hands. Small rubber ducks were carefully transferred from one tub to another, receiving gentle “baths” as the children noticed how water splashes, fills, and moves.
We also celebrated Amari’s birthday this week. His family shared a delicious treat of fig bars, and together we read the lively What a Wonderful World, inspired by the song made famous by Louis Armstrong, reflecting on the many beautiful things that make our world so special.
Please enjoy some photos from the last couple of weeks. Have a wonderful weekend!
