January 3, 2019, Thursday

Jumping into January!  Today we welcomed a new friend to EDS.  I cannot think of a better way to begin our new year than to meet a new friend.  We also have a new imaginary friend as well, our new inflatable Right Whale you will find floating from the ceiling!  We have yet to name our new whale friend.

Our morning began with Mother Anita and Godly Play.  She continued the story of Christmas and the Kings' journey.

Snack was carrots and pretzel veggie stick mix.  After snack we went outdoors for fresh air and sunshine.

We introduced the letter D at morning meeting and danced to our phonics song.  We had show and share time today.  It was marked on the calendar to begin next week, but we had a soft start this week.  Next week, we will share letter D items again or something related to our Pet unit, such as a stuffed animal that is their favorite pet.

After lunch we shared a story together, OVER AND UNDER THE SNOW.  We met in the math room where Ms. Sarah reviewed the new graph we began at morning workshop.  We graphed our favorite pets.  Currently cats are more favored.  We also talked about our new shape for the month which is a Pentagon.  We also played a shape matching game.

We ended our day outside.
