Ah, to be three years old and experiencing autumn in New England! It is a wondeful thing! Last year, the kids were less apt to recognize the signs of spring or to partake in any in-depth nature studies. But this year, they are full of wonder and questions. Lex has a best friend named Tyler. Together they are discovering many things and exploring the world through the eyes of young scientists. Outside we observe plants and animals and interact socially with neighbors of all kinds.
On a crisp autumn day like today, there are leaves all around. Lex asked, "why did the leaves fall?" Exactly the question I was hoping to hear! We raked and played and snacked and fed our Squirrel, Sally. We saw Ms. Diana and then headed inside to wash for lunch. Inside the kitchen we saw our painted caterpillar project from that morning....silly fun. Then chicken nuggets and corn and beans with orange juice for lunch. Lex and Tyler especially love Circle time where we discuss the weather and make predictions...and then our reading time.
Favorite books right now are:
The 3 Billy Goats Gruff
The Itsy Bitsy Spider
I am a Tow Truck
How Does a Dinosaur Clean his Room?
Little Einsteins
Pop-up Books
Tyler and Lex put together a new puzzle! This is a typical day in the life of my three-year old and his preschool (of which I am the teacher).
My boy is a pleasure...and He has the Greatest friends!
