Splash! All Day Today

Splash! is this summer's Our Time curriculum.  We celebrate all kinds of summertime water in class- splashing in the pool, waves, and bathtub.  But puddles?!  In the summer?  That's what we had today, so we all got to splash in the puddles once we got outside the ATA-Karate for kids studio to the sidewalk.

Wishy Washy Wee! is a favorite activity this semester in Splash! and we get to play it again in the fall when we do Wiggles and Giggles.  Children love repetition!  These children are all ready to jump in the tub with these sticks, and when Miss Lindsay brought the sticks out, it was just a matter of time before we got a class full of braying donkeys.  Hee haw, hee haw, hee haw, hee haw hee haw!

It may have been raining but we waited for the sun- Mr. Golden Sun to be exact.  Along with the singing, Anthony had the great idea to practice his fine motor skills and that pointer finger (key for learning how to color, cut and write), to let Mr. Sun wiggle around from in the book.  All the others thought it was a great idea, and we had a lot of toddlers coaxing Mr. Sun out from behind that tree... in our book at least!

Here are my kids and cousins today, ready to Splash in the creek and gather critters.  They must be reminded, often of course, NO BUGS, LIZARDS, or other live things in the house PLEASE.  I don't care how much that water snake enjoys the bathroom sink....
