Today we used the small rings (hats) to balance on our heads while walking, listening and following different directions given by Josh and Lisa. Friends galloped and move like their favorite animal all while trying to balance their rings (hats) on their heads. We then rolled our rings and counted how many times friends could jump over them before the rings stopped. Followed by spinning our rings and trying to scoop it up while it's still spinning. The Cardinals did a great job with this challenge! Nice work Cardinals. Friends then had a chance to engaged with a task or tasks from above they wanted to explore more!
Tuesday
After our morning jobs and morning meeting, we were off to Spanish class with Alicia. Today we went over the Spanish vocabulary that describe some articles of clothing we wear. Friends then took turns, two at a time, to play a swatter game using "mega" swatters. This week Alicia introduced us to the big swatters and the Cardinals were very excited to use them. The Cardinals also practiced singing Head-N-Shoulders and Mi cuerpo hace música in preparation for our Lower School assembly this Friday!! Today it was Shanga's turn to squeezed la vaca!
Back in our classroom, we ate snack followed by small group work. Friends worked in groups of fours recognizing uppercase and lowercase letters and letter sounds. We worked with play dough and car tracks as we rotated through these three activities.
Wednesday
We had a class discussion after reading the book, I am Thankful. We talked about the content of the book and friends had many great idea. Which lead to us asked each Cardinals, the question "What are you Thankful for?" Here is what friends had to say:

The Cardinals then worked on a journal entry titled, What are you thankful for.. and why? Some friends gave dictation and others friends did kid-writing with a teacher to write their words.
Amanda attached our beaded handles, we made to our leaves artwork. And today the Cardinals added their final touches by painting their wooden bead handles. Friends used water color paints and chose how they wanted to decorate!
Thursday
The Cardinals enter music class and began by dancing to music that encouraged us to move our bodies like robots with large and slow movements. As always, the Cardinals warmed up their voices before singing our hello song Jambo. Followed by movement and singing the bunny song, freight train song and practicing two new song called Just from the kitchen and One little Owl in preparation for our winter program. We also practiced singing our part of Thanks-A-Lot, which we will be singing in the meetinghouse with the whole lower school next Wednesday.

Friday
After our morning jobs, it was time for the Cardinals to head down to the auditorium for our assembly. The Cardinals were excited and a bit nervous about being on stage. The Sparrows and Catbirds joined us on stage and with the guidance of Alicia. We sang and performed Head-N-Shoulders and Mi cuerpo hace música in Spanish for the whole lower school. What a truly amazing job the Cardinals, Sparrow and Catbirds did! We are all so very proud of you all!!
After snack time and a read aloud, it was time for our special Friday fun Games. This week we played Snail pace race which some friends can already play on their own, Candyland and Going fishing which is a bit tricky but friends are getting the hang of it.
