Yesterday was a great day with the kids. Eve brought a recorder for her share, which was the perfect segway to musictime where each child got to play a different instrument. I taught them the song, "Two Little Magic Words", which emphasized saying "please" and "thank you". They loved playing their instruments We then read "Enemy Pie" for storytime which really held their attention. 
Snacktime was great. Thank you everyone for bringing a contribution for our "Friendship Mix". We talked a lot about the symbolism--if one of them is missing from Joy School one day, the day couldn't be as fun as it would be if they had been there. Just like how our snack mix wouldn't taste as good if one of the ingredients were missing. We talked about how much more fun yesterday was than Tuesday, because Eve was there (she was absent Tues.). Grant brought the apple chips, Kai brought the craisins, Eve brought the goldfish, Isabel brought the yogurt-covered raisins, Joseph brought the peanuts, and Emily brought the pirate booty. Great mix!
We played with the bubble wands for outside play (thanks Cheyenne!) For lesson time we talked about the Golden Rule and I told a flannelboard story. We then practiced more writing the letter F on their little chalkboards and drawing pictures of fish.
We made paper-bag turkeys for our craft, with the polite words we had learned about on the feathers. I was amazed with how fast these two days flew! I look forward to seeing everyone Tuesday at the Reyes Adobe House.
