We had our Friday Rock Unit yesterday (funny, it didn't confuse the children) and spent our time sorting. First the children sorted the rocks into groups of large and small. About halfway through they began to notice rocks that seemed small at first looked large as smaller rocks were picked up and vice versa. After basic sorting, the children then re-sorted between big and small until they were satisfied. Next they moved on to color groupings and noticed Karen had used the colors of the rainbow for sorting categories. Much to their delight they realized their "gold" could be placed at the end like a leprechauns pot of gold!
Today was our first rehearsal and I was very pleased with our class. They went right to their places on stage and with very little reminding, they stood up and sang out. we have several future stars on our hands.
The El Rodeo picnic had perfect weather which naturally led to play after eating. Who can make children go inside when the warm sun calls them out?
Tomorrow will be a much warmer day. The Early Learners are planning to take Fruit Break with us to Hollins tomorrow. We will stop by the creek to munch our goodies and enjoy Mother Nature. If a few feet were to get wet, I wouldn't be surprised.
