Group Meeting:  The children noticed that there were 3 20's in today's date.  They are getting very good at reading the day, month and number that is on the message board.

Story:  The story for today was Hammer and Nails by Josh Bledsoe.  Darcy had scheduled a play date with a friend.  When her friend is sick and can't come, Dad steps in to suggest a Darcy-Daddy day.  Darcy had a list of things that she had planned to do with her friend.  Daddy has a list of things that he needs to do around the house.  They take turns doing things on each other's lists.  Daddy dresses up in a tutu.  Darcy helps mow the lawn.  Daddy plays Hair Salon. Darcy helps fold socks.  Darcy helps daddy put nails into the fence to fix it.  Ask your child to tell you what kind of nails Daddy does with Darcy. 

Small Groups:  The children are preparing for Grown-up Day which is next week.  Today, they drew pictures of what they will look like when they are grown-up.  These pictures will be on the bulletin board next week.

Large Group:  The children danced The Chicken Dance.  The music is slow at first and then gets very fast.

Snacks:  The morning snack was apples, peanut butter and milk brought by Callie.  The afternoon snack was Teddy Grahams and bananas brought by Elizabeth.  Thank you, Callie and Elizabeth!
