still in progress. 🙂  We got some great head way with our puppet stage this week, but we are still not finished with it.  The Clowes trip I think will be a perfect time for us to go because we will be finishing up our stage that week, and we will be able to begin to focus on what to prepare besides the stage for our shows.  The children have really enjoyed building and using tools…they have been so responsible and safe with the tools as well so that has been nice to see that they have learned tool safety!

Today, some of our friends became intrigued by some numbers that were down in Mrs. Argus’ class.  The kiddos saw the numbers 1-100 taped down on her floor.  When the two children came back to our room, they told us what they saw and then the children wanted to do that too, but we talked about maybe making our numbers from the door to our math notebooks!  First we guessed how many number cards we would have to make to reach from our door to the math notebooks in the center of the room.  Shaniyia  and Emily guessed 100.  Madeline P. guessed 36.  DeOnna guessed 1200.  It was amazing to see how engaged the children were during this time of making our numbers.  They were taking turns, writing the numbers themselves, and all I did was provide tape for them!  We got to 100, but we are not to the math notebooks yet….we will see how many more it will take to get there!

I hope you all have a wonderful Fall Break, and we will see you in a couple of weeks!
