Our Grown Ups Were Here!

Today was a special day at preschool.  It was Bring A Grown Up to School Day.  Nearly everyone in our classes brought a grown up to school with them.  There were moms, dads, grandparents; just all sorts of grown ups.  We did our whole day like we normally would and the grown ups followed along.  They learned our rules very quickly and were pretty good at hand washing.

We played some games when we were in the Circle Time Room.  We played a Balloon Memory Game and we did some punching balls.  Those look like balloons with a long rubber band on one end.  You put your hand in the rubber band and hold it tight.  Then you punch the balloon ball.  Punch, punch, punch.  Mrs. Myers played some music for us while we punched.

We have a special box at school called the Song Box.  Inside are big cards that have the words to different songs written on them.  We pulled a few songs out of the box today and sang them with our grown ups.  After we did that, it was time to wash our hands and go to snack!  We had to use the Art Table because there were so many of us today.  Logan brought us fruit cups.  Thank you, Logan.  On Thursday Landon brought us bananas and CheezIts!  Thank you, Landon.  There were also graham crackers here for the grown ups.

Our story today was called "Where Do Balloons Go?".  A little boy accidentally loses his balloon and he starts to wonder where they go when that happens.  Do they hit buildings or planes?  Do they go into the clouds?  Are they happy to be free?

We got to do some art with our grown ups today.  We colored in a pair of shoes and then we got to make a person with very special markers.  But we didn't make the person on paper.  We made it on a balloon!  Then we stuck the balloon to the shoes and you had a balloon person. 

We had a wonderful time with our grown ups today.  Thank you for coming to school with us.
