We all stood in line, and everyone (moms included) took a turn voting for their choice for president. I explained that voting is a very private right and responsibility, and that, while we are free to discuss our choice with other people, we have the right to keep it secret as well. We all cast our ballots into a very sophisticated ballot box...
...and tomorrow during Circle Time I will reveal the class's choice for president, as well as the country's choice. The kids loved voting, and Miss K even thought to create "I Voted" stickers for everyone!
Today Miss C's son worked with the sorting bears, a new nuts and bolts activity that I saw on itty bitty love (thanks so much for this simple yet appealing activity! Everyone chose this today)...
...color box 4...
...and bead sequencing:
My daughter worked with the Healthy/Not Healthy sort that Miss K created last week, the nuts and bolts activity, and the addition strip board:
Miss D's son did bead sequencing, metal insets, the nuts and bolts activity...
...and the addition strip board:
He was reluctant to do this at first because he didn't want to have to write down his answers, but the draw of doing addition (he loves math) helped him overcome his pencil-shyness.
Miss D's daughter chose the nuts and bolts activity, wooden cylinders...
...and water transfer with a medicine dropper and funnel:
My 2-yo chose the wooden cylinders, water transfer...
...spooning/pouring split peas...
...and the nuts and bolts activity (did I mention this was popular?):
Miss D led everyone in Music today (including a song she made up about voting, to the tune of "Row, Row, Row Your Boat": Vote, vote, go and vote, go and vote today; Cast your vote, do your job, it's the American Way!).
We closed with the "J" verse and story from My ABC Bible Verses: "Jesus said to him, 'I am the way, the truth, and the life,'" John 14:6.
