My eyes were bigger than my stomach when I planned for today! I had planned that we would make all three houses for our retelling of "The Three Little Pigs". We had a great time making the straw house and were able to collect the sticks for the second house which we will finish tomorrow. Wednesday, we can work on the brick house and hopefully video tape the kids retelling the story on Friday!
When we acted the story out for Ms. Carol today, the kids took turns being the wolf. We enjoyed their individual interpretations of how the wolf's voice sounds. I can still giggle when I think about it!
We have been singing a take off of the song, "Down By the Bay", which has animals doing funny things. Some examples in the original song are: "Did you ever see a fly wearing a tie?" and "Did you ever see a bear combing his hair?". However, we made up sentences about a pig with words that rhyme with pig. "Did you ever see a pig that could really, really dig?" "Did you ever see a pig wearing a wig?" "Did you ever see a pig eating a fig?" "Did you ever see a pig that was really, really big?"
We had some special visitors today as Beau's grandma and grandpa came to visit during lunch. I think we need to set up a schedule for parents to come visit as the kids feel very special when they have a special visitor.
Congratulations to Joseph's parents! Joseph has a third sister now. Her name is Julia and according to Joseph, she is 'zero years old'.
We are moving into the monthly theme of 'Down on the Farm'. While we finish up 'The Three Little Pigs', we will also be talking about what it is like to live on a farm and all of the animals that live on a farm. I think are going to have loads of fun!
