First day at Countryside Playschool

Today was the first day at our new preschool, and it was SO much fun :0)  Honey Bunches & I are the teachers, and Tweeters is one of the students - along with 6 other children ages 2-8.  Here are a few pics from today:

Snack: organic oat groats cooked overnight in the crockpot with homemade yogurt, honey & blueberries!

Washing our dishes

Awesome bright chalk!

A bit of playdough

"Little Blue & Little Yellow" hugging to make green

We also talked about primary colors, so had to add in some red

Wet felting acorns!

Gluing them in (yes they were still damp but I think it will be ok)

Service with a smile!

Today was bring your lunch day - next week we will make & serve lunch all together!  The main attraction will be homemade applesauce - yum

So, the church is planning to fix up or replace the playground equipment.  It is really fine, except for a few safety things ;0)  But get this - and you Waldorf readers know this already - these children played in the dirt til it was time to go home!  Give them a toy & they play with the box....give them dirt and sticks and acorns in the fall....and watch their imaginations!  Wow!

HB & Ezra made an acorn racetrack!  When some of the others saw them having such a great time, they ran over so they could join in the race, too!

Good ol' dirt
