Our Annual "Silly Day!"

"A laugh is a smile that bursts." ~Mary H. Waldrip

We sang silly songs, read funny books and played "tricks" on each other all day long!

I made cocoa-cereal treats in a loaf pan so they had "meatloaf" and "fried eggs" (yogurt and peach halves) for breakfast, breakfast foods for lunch (french toast, sausage and fruit), and along with snack, jello (apple juice and gelatin) in cups with straws to look like juice.

When the kids went to lay down for Rest Time, all their cots were in different places... that really threw them for a loop!

Their favorite part each year seems to be the gigantic pen at the sign-in sheet... they love to watch the parents react to our "trick" :)

Potential

“What do we teach our children? … 
We should say to each of them: 
Do you know what you are? 
You are a marvel. You are unique … 
You may become a Shakespeare, a Michelangelo, a Beethoven. 
You have the capacity for anything.” 
-Pablo Casals

Families Gathering Videos

Playing "Spud!":




"Circle round":

Our Annual Families Gathering

As always, I am grateful for the families enrolled at Kinder Beginnings. The children themselves are amazing, and I appreciate when we have the opportunity to extend our daily group to include their parents.

Group activities were led by "Miss Ellen", local Folk Life Artist Ellen Ford.

Kyndal, Blayke, Raven and Cameron were proud to have planned our menu:
Hot chocolate (with marshmallows), apple cider, sandwiches, veggies with ranch dip, grapes, trail mix and cookies.

We were fortunate to have gorgeous weather, perfectly comfortable even in the midst of November!
