Will It Grow?

THE PLAN

Playtime
We played with a bunch of toys this morning, and to my surprise, many people came to Storytime!

Beginning Song
Toby was a naughty puppy and rearranged the schedule pieces that we use for Storytime. He put them backward!  Since Toby was "sleeping" since December we had to yell doubly hard to wake him up.  The kids got really into it.

All About Today

Friday's weather was cold and snowy.

Read & Listen:

We read Do You Know Which Ones Will Grow? by Susan A. Shea.  The kids really got a kick out of the book- and compares animals and other things and how they grow.  For example, can a stool grow and become a chair?  The kids had fun saying "No!" to all of the weird questions.

Learning Time:

We used growing capsules during Learning Time today.  Each child got to pick a capsule and we put them in cups of warm water.  Then we waited.  And waited.  And waited some more.  The kids were very surprised that the capsules were actually sponges.  They were a big hit and I would definitely do those capsules again.
