Highlights from Ms. Cindy's class this week...(Henry's teacher)

Well, according to our question of the day, most of us like rainy days. We'll see how we feel about that at the end of this rainy week. We did have a good inside day. We started our family unit today. We read The Family Book and talked about ways families are alike and ways they are different. We are working on a family collage. We hunted for pictures in the magazines that made us think of families. We cut them out and will glue them together. This is a great activity to use to open conversations.

To release some energy we went into Kleberg Hall and played Simon Says. We had fun acting out different animals as we worked on our listening skills. We also had fun working together as a group to keep the beanbags bouncing on the parachute and not fall on the floor.

This morning we enjoyed sharing our family photos and talking about some of the things our families like to do together. Last Friday, we picked an ornamental gourd from our garden and put it in our discovery table. We cut it open today to examine the insides. We talked about different uses for gourds. I have one from 2 years ago that we keep in with the instruments. Now that it is dry, it makes a great shaker.
Today was the first day of Spanish class. I will post the list of who goes when. There are 2 different class times and the classes are mixed with older and younger friends. Next week we will start our music class on Tuesdays and movement on Fridays. Chapel will begin on Sept. 23rd. Have a good evening. Looks like the rains are on their way out.
