New Toys in the Outdoor Classroom

We didn't go right outside when we got here this morning.  That's because the Kindergarten Readiness kids were outside.  We stayed in for a while and played Duck, Duck, Goose, Tangrams and links.  We linked all of the colorful links together and tried to stretch them as far as we could go.  There were a lot of them.

Our story was "Just Grandma and Me".  It is a Little Critter book and he goes to the beach with his Grandma.  Poor Little Critter.  He tries so hard, but he always seems to do things wrong.

Today was Birthday Day for the summer birthday kids.  We had ice cream!  Mrs. Whiteman and Mrs. Myers even had chocolate syrup and sprinkles for us if we wanted them.  Yummy!

At the Art Table we colored  However, it was a different way to color.  Mrs. Myers had put 4 different crayons together with a rubber band.  We used all 4 crayons at once!  It was hard, but fun.

Do you remember the Art Show?  Do you remember the money that we were raising for new toys in the outdoor classroom?  Well, Mrs. Christiansen already ordered some of those toys.  Guess what?  We got to play with them today. 

There was a very cool water pump.  It is hard to work, but we sure had fun trying to use our muscles.  Then there were the wooden ramps and balls.  That stuff looks like a giant marble ramp.  There are lots of different pieces so that you can use your imagination to put it together any way you want.  Then you can take the big wooden balls and roll them down the ramps.  So cool.  Thank you everyone for donating at the Art Show so that we can have these awesome toys.
