Turn the Handle

When we got to school today we noticed that there were some Hot Wheels cars and tracks set up for us to use.  That was fun.  The track started at the table and went down to the floor so our cars did a big jump!  We enjoyed that.  We also played with the table top easels and a grocery store memory game.  Some of us tried to move pretty macaroni noodles from one container to another using those big tweezers.  It was fun to try and pick them up.  I wonder if we would be able to use chopsticks now?

We sang some new songs today.  They were called "I Had a Little Turkey", "Mr. Turkey Went for a Walk One Day", " The More We Get Together", and "Here We Go 'Round the Mulberry Bush".  We love learning new songs.

Our story was really funny and the pictures just cracked us up.  It was called "How Do Dinosaurs Eat Their Food?".  Do they slurp?  Do they use their toes?  Do they stomp on their food?  Do they blow bubbles?  How do YOU think they eat?

While we were waiting to wash our hands, we sang the "Roly Poly Pumpkin" song only we changed the pumpkin into a turkey.  That was funny.  Then we went in to eat our snack.  We got to do something pretty neat for that.  We had some apples and they weren't even cut up.  Then there was a very strange looking tool on each table.  It was called an apple peeler.  The teachers stuck them to the tables and then they put an apple onto one end.  When you turned the handle, the apple was peeled and the middle was pushed out.  You could see through the middle of the apple when it was finished.  What?  We each got to turn the handle a few times.  We thought that was fun.  We had a helper on Tuesday.  Kadence's mommy came and played with us.  Thank you.

We have a new center that the Kindergarten Readiness class is getting set up.  It is called Grocery Store.  There are lots of boxes and containers of food and even some grocery carts and a cash register.  We had a lot of fun playing there.

For Art today we used vegetables.  That's right.  We thought that it would be weird, but it was pretty cool.  We had some carrots, potatoes and a big thing of celery.  Mrs. Meyers cut them all in half.  The we dipped them into paint and pressed them on our papers.  Whoa.
