HANNAH GOODNOW IS LEGAL! May 22

Hours Worked: (8:30-10:30, 10:45-12:30)

Today was a great day because it was Hannah's 18Th birthday! I got to the school and Hannah was already using her brand new camera that she got. The kids were playing around the school doing various things. While they finished up play time and snack Hannah and I glued the frog eyes on the paper so they could create their pond scenes. Afterwards we had a morning meeting where they found out the centers. At first our center wasn't popular but after the kids saw what we were doing more and more came. What the kids did was color the paper they had with crayons, markers, they glued beads to it and we used pipe cleaners to make grass and lily pads. There was also a frog stamp that they could use. They actually really liked doing this center because they got to glue and work with things such as beads and pipe cleaners that they don't normally get to craft with. They ended up really getting into it! Half way through the center I had to pop into Assembly because today was the sports assembly, but I only stayed for fifteen minutes. When I came back the group had started music time and Hannah was finishing up with the last few kids on their projects! Next, while the kids went outside for play time, we pulled three in at a time to decorate some cupcakes I had baked for Hannah' birthday. They put frosting on it, jimmies, smarties, jellybeans, and mini chocolate chips. They had a lot of fun doing this and could hardly wait to eat it. They ended up being a motivation for them to eat their lunch because they weren't allowed to have their cupcakes until they finished their lunch! It seemed to be a very long day compared to others, but was a lot of fun celebrating Hannah's birthday!
