Pajama Day!

Everyone got comfy and cozy for pajama day today. Eli started the morning off right taking a rest with his dad. Many children soon joined him to read books and curled up together on the rug. Jenny also offered to give lavender lotion arm massages.

We sang some lullabies at morning meeting and then read The Napping House, Goodnight Moon and In the Night Kitchen. As the children listened to the stories, they had breakfast in bed enjoying the pancakes that Ashley brought in. They couldn't get enough!

Before dance with Elizabeth, the children acted out the nursery rhymes Little Miss Muffet and Jack Be Nimble. We had many persuasive and enthusiastic actors.

Eli, Ava, Isabel and Evan helped Rebecca make "counting sheep." After they made a sheep, the children wrote the numbers 1-7 sequentially and posted their sheep above our meeting rug. Elsewhere in the Sunflowers room, Jake, Eli and Max in the Sweet Peas class worked together to cook in the kitchen area and read books.

In the Daisies room, a few children including Ryan, Isabel and Ashley painted moons and stars with yellow watercolor and corn syrup. On another table, Sam wrote a story about a Bubble Boy, Evan wrote a story about a spider who took a trip to Montauk on the LIRR, and Ashley and Ava wrote variations of The Three Little Pigs.

The Sunflowers and Sweet Peas combined for show and tell (Ava was very excited to call on Brandon for comments and questions) and then read Goodnight Baby Bear. Ava also shared the book she wrote in the Daisies room about the three little pigs escaping from the big bad wolf on a rocket ship. In the Daisy's classroom, Evan read his story about the spider and Ms. Erica read Kitten's First Full Moon.
