Upside Down Day

Upside Down Day is an annual event in the Bunny Rabbit Class. We have a mid-January Monday holiday so when we come back on Tuesday, we celebrate Upside Down Day. The whole thing is based on the book, Silly Sally.
The Bunnies painted Silly Sally at the easel. They used Q-tips as paint brushes.
The children noticed that two of our tables were bare. To their surprise, art was UNDER the table. They crawled under and drew all over butcher paper taped to the underside of the table. Mrs. O'Connor and Mrs. Magee got under there, too, but there is no photographic evidence. Just take our word for it!! heehee.
Puzzles and games were also under the table. Changing the orientation and position of the children's bodies requires them to use different muscles than they would use if they were sitting upright in a chair.
The real purpose of Upside Down Day is to have fun, celebrate the absurd, and shake things up a little bit.
