Thursday

We had, or at least I had a fun day today! We talked about the process of corn.  We looked at pictures of ears of corn and talked about how yummy it is, then how corn can be dried.  And then I asked them what we do with it once it's dried, and I asked them what they thought was going to happen if we heated up the corn.  Lucky for me these days, air poppers are almost obsolete  (yes I had to borrow this ol' timer!) so they weren't really sure.  We popped the corn with the lid off so they could see if come out of the popper, it was very exciting and the kids were excited to be able to eat it.  We made these adorable "corn on the cob" pictures that I found on Little Wonders' Days, they will get to bring them home on Tuesday...they were still a little too gooy to bring home!
Our other focus this month besides sorting, is rhythm.  I had a very generous, very kind friend from church, Cheryl Forsburg, donate some things to me, these fun scarves with a CD of fun scarf activities was one of them!  Today we talked about how some music makes us want to move fast and some makes us want to move slow...These scarves made for a fun music time today!!
