Outdoor Day

What a great tradition!  Outdoor Day is always a fun day.  It's messy and wet and busy and the children absolutely love it!

Mrs. O'Connor and Mrs. Quinn have had a wonderful year growing in God's grace with these sweet Bunnies!  We will miss you and your cutie smiles!

The Three Little Pigs

This group of Bunnies has really taken a liking to acting out stories using props.  We did some literary comparing and contrasting of different versions of the Three Little Pigs one day.  It's a familiar story to most children so it's a great candidate to get the children making some higher level evaluations and predictions.
The next day I brought in some story props and put them in the book area without any fanfare.  To our delight, the children noticed right away and began using the props to act out the story. 

One child held the book and retold the story while the others wore the props and acted out the story.  Then, without any adult coaching (!) they traded around the props and did it all again in different roles.  Amazing!  It was fun to watch and such a wonderful reflection of how much the children have grown this year.  This level of collaboration and cooperation is the result of strong friendships, mutual respect and a good sense of how to have fun!!
