On Wednesday, we were glad to meet our young lady, JoJo (nickname), again. This time it was daddy who dropped her off. Did it make it a little easier? Maybe. After a couple of minutes of adjusting time, JoJo showed that she was ready for school.
We had the yummy breakfast together (cheese & egg tortillas, peaches and milk). And then we had our first, short, and fun circle time. We sang the Welcome Song, updated the calendar, played some animal postcard and learned the literacy "Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What do you see?" JoJo tried to memorize what all the animals said in the story. While she was learning different animals, she worked on color recognition, too.
After the morning snacks (fruit cup and bagel), JoJo could not wait to do the art work. She kept pointing at the art supplies. This time, JoJo had art and sensory practice through gluing different art supplies on the paper. She had a great time using her paint brushes to spread the glue across the paper. She also had fun in testing and discovering how the glue felt on her skin and hair. After all the glue was spread, she posted different shapes and materials on the paper. It was so much fun to watch as JoJo was making sure that each piece went exactly where she wanted it to be. JoJo kept making adjustments in her projects until they were perfect. The art supplies with glue on were very sticky. JoJo even tried to take the things off from her fingers by shaking her hand, but it did not quite work. Finally, she figured out that using the other hand to help was better than shaking the one. Smart!
What was next? Outside time! JoJo loved it. She pointed out through the door, and even sat perfectly on the shoe changing spot waiting for me to help her to change shoes. She also grabbed her jacket from the hook, which was surprised me. In only two days, JoJo picked up the routine so quickly. We were so lucky that day. We saw an air plane flied over our playground. The loud noise scared JoJo a little, so she went to me.
For lunch, we had chicken noodle soup with vegetables, banana and milk. JoJo loved the soup. While JoJo was playing back and forth between potty and lunch, (she knew that mommy would come at any time), the door bell rang again!
