I'm a little behind on the blogging. Sometimes we go for days with nothing exciting to blog about and then BAM! One thing right after another that I want to blog about and I get behind.
Anyways, preschool on Thursday was at Cali's house. The kids got to bring a stuffed animal with them, so that they could have a Teddy Bear (or other stuffed creature) picnic. First Cali spread out a big blanket on the living room carpet for all of the kids to sit on. Then they went around the circle and introduced their stuffed animal. It was funny because almost every kid it went something like this,
"Linc, what's your animal?"
"This is my lion."
"What's your lion's name?"
"Lion (duh)"
After that Cali talked about picnics and the kinds of things we bring with us on a picnic. She read the kids a cute story about a little boy and his mom who go on a picnic in the woods and meet a big bear who eats their lunch and even their pie.
The kids got to dance around to the song Teddy Bear picnic. And then we piled all their animals in the center of the blanket and stood around holding the edges and on the count of three we tossed the animals up into the air. The kids LOVED this activity. It's the first thing Lincoln told Aaron about at dinner when Aaron asked how preschool was.
Cali read another story called The Hungry Caterpillar. Then handed out bingo sheets to the kids, and read the story again and every time she said a food that the Caterpillar ate, the kids got to put a piece of candy on the picture of that food on their bingo card. After that we made our own hungry caterpillars out of colorful paper circles and miniature brads. When they were all finished the kids crawled the caterpillars (because of the brads they could move, super cute!) into the kitchen and back into the living room.
At the end, each kid got his/her very own picnic lunch in a paper sack. My kids were really excited, and I was thrilled that I wouldn't have to make them lunch later! :) I love preschool.
