We played hooky!

Posted by Kristin at 12:54 PM

I had a list of several things to do today to finish up the week, but the weather is so beautiful outside.  Having come off of at least three weeks of 100+ degree temperatures and the kids begging to come in after 5 minutes, I couldn't make them come inside.  And I didn't want to come in either.  So, we played outside all morning (like 3 hours!).  The kids chased some poor lizard that made the unwise decision of coming out in the open.  They took turns on the teeter totter (a fabulous donation from C's family).  They practiced "pumping" on the swings, which is a definite pre-kindergarten skill because my experience is that kindergarten teachers don't push kids on the swings.

I was wondering if skipping a day so soon after starting would break the routine I've really been trying to set, but most of the kids asked when we would have circle time, so I think they enjoy it.  I told them that since it was so beautiful, we were playing hooky today.  But, we'll still do all the calendar stuff while I've got them captive at the snack table this afternoon!

I'm off tomorrow and will be headed out of town, so see everyone on Monday.  We'll be starting a Family theme and continuing with Letter A and adding triangles (at least that's what I'm thinking today).
