A peek into Ladybug Lane

Today Miss Triss came to visit us and she brought her puppy, Gretta! We all got a turn to hold Gretta, pet her, and throw her toy! She was so cute! The preschoolers in Ladybug Lane did a great job being gentle with tiny little Gretta. Thanks Miss Triss and Gretta!

They were the perfect size for each other! :)

Miss Triss held Gretta first so she could get use to us!

Blues In the Schools!!

Today we learned about the Blues!  We were happy to see two Blues musicians, Mr. Ellis and Mr. Hal from the River Music Experience!  The children did a wonderful job singing and listening to the music! 

Before we started, some of us explored the acoustic guitar!

 

We learned about how Blues music began...and that Blues music made it's way around the world!

  

We learned about the harmonica!

We clapped a rhythm to the Blues!

Special Olympics Play Day!

Our Special Education small group classrooms attended the Special Olympics Play Day today!  We had so much fun!  We rode the bus to the West Family Y and participated in bowling, basketball, the 25 yard dash, ball darts, the long jump and the tennis ball toss!  We got a t-shirt and ate lunch at the Play Day!  Thanks to all the wonderful families who came to help us out!

Story Time!

Did you know, once each month our "Story Lady" comes to Children's Village Hayes and reads stories to each classroom!  The children look forward to this visit each month!  They come running over to the carpet to listen and quickly look to see what books the story lady brought to read!

The children love hearing the rhyming books, the silly books, the books about children and the books about animals!

The children especially love the books with actions!  Clapping hands and reaching "high" and "low" are always fun when we're reading stories!
