The Last Monday

This morning, after a breakfast of Cheerios and mangoes (success!), we sat down to circle time to talk about our community. We were joined by new full-time addition Andy and our friend Julie from the first week of Kickstart. We read Is Your Mama A Llama? and talked about different animal families. The kids were pretty engaged for a Monday morning with the exception of a very sleepy Q, who, as usual, brightened over the course of the day. Calendar time and Weather Watchers went quickly (another sunny day - our chart is almost full!) and we transitioned to a discussion about community. Who lives in our community? What places can we visit in our community? How do we stay safe in our community? Who can we trust? We made a list of community words: mom, dad, houses, police, firepeople, schools, parks, restaurants, pets, etc.

It was a gorgeous day outside, and we played a pretty intense game of tag (which the kids call "get ME!"). In the afternoon, Rani Arbo joined us for a lovely sing-a-long.
