Group Meeting:  We have had a few students bring in Dr. Seuss books from home.   We are happy to read them when we can.  Dr. Seuss wrote over 60 books in his life time.  That's a lot of books!

Story:  The story for today was I Wish That I Had Duck Feet by Dr. Seuss.  In this story, a boy wonders what it would be like to have duck feet, deer antlers, a whale spout, a tiger's tail, etc.  There are good things and bad things about each of those.  In the end, he finds that it's just best to be himself.

Small Groups:  The activities for this week are listed in Monday's post.  The schedule for today was:
Activity #1 Green Group
Activity #2 Red Group
Activity #3 Yellow Group

Large Group:  Following the story, we listed to a musical selection by Hap Palmer titled "Sammy".  The story in the music matched the Dr. Seuss story that we had just heard.  Sammy is asked to go to the store to buy bread.   He wishes that he were a bird so that he could fly, fish so that he could swim, a bunny so that he could hop, and a bug so that he could crawl.  He discovers at the end that he's glad to be himself walking to the store.  As we played the music again, the children acted out the animal movements.

Snacks:  The morning class had pancakes, watermelon and juice brought by Angel.  The afternoon class had bagels, berry cream cheese, and juice brought by Charlie.  Thank you!
