Pick a Bean

We're back!  Today at school some of us had our eyes tested.  We went to a special room with Mrs. Lehenbauer and a man took pictures of just our eyes.  We had to look into a camera with a special light.  Then there was a big flash and ta dah!  We had pictures of our eyes.  After we were finished, we got a lion sticker.  That is because the Lion's Club did this for us.  Thank you.

When we got to school, we did something pretty fun.  There were tubs of beans and great big things called tweezers.  We had to try and pick up the beans with the tweezers and put them into cups.  It was hard at first, but we did it.  We also played with bean bags to the music, played Feed the Little Old Lady Card game and did the table top easels.

Today we learned some new songs.  They were called "Here We Go 'Round the Mulberry Bush", "The More We Get Together", "Mr. Turkey Went for a Walk" and "I Had a Little Turkey".  Whew.  We like learning new songs.

After a yummy snack of grapes and crackers from Reese, it was play time.  On Tuesday we had bananas from Landon.  Thank you, Landon.  Yeah.  For our art projects today we did plastic wrap paintings.  It isn't too hard.  First you squirt some paint onto the paper.  Then you lay the plastic wrap on top of the paint and squish it all around the paper.  Oh wow!
