We're off to the zoo today. It should be nearly sixty degrees and sunny. It will be a great trip because the animals are usually very active on a warm day in the winter. We will go out about 10:00 and stay until 1:00 and then come home for a late lunch of crock pot and fruit and bread.
When we come back, we will be working on parent gifts, so if you come early today - DON'T LOOK!
Yesterday, we didn't have a roster to teach by until noon, so we did some group Christmas projects and some separate tutorials. One of our four year olds - just four - discovered addition. He spent an hour working on adding two groups of things. We built a lot yesterday, and some of the first and second stage builders expanded their knowledge and skills. Building contributes to problem solving and complex thought, and it's good for children. Unfortunately, parents don't get to see a lot of a child's progress because a child can't take his building home in an envelope.
We are singing lots of Christmas songs. the kids like the new fast ones best, but they are learning some of the old traditional songs like Angels We Have Heard On High.
Yesterday we had homemade waffles for breakfast, and for lunch we had baked chicken, noodles, apple sauce, carrots, dip, and poorboy French bread.
