Avi - 5/28/2019

Avilene ate whole wheat bagel and ate grapes for breakfast.  For lunch she ate shrimp, a large serving of brown rice, bite of stir fry vegetables, and ate raspberries.  At the lunch table Nora, Avi, and Atley were talking about all the things "we DON'T eat."  Now that can be a long list and they named several!  Haha!  Example: "We don't eat tissues!"  "We don't eat beetles."  "We don't eat towels."  Ha! Atley said, "That'd be silly!"

Avi had a great morning as did all of the kids.  Everyone was happy to be back and we had lots of fun.  She makes me laugh!  She can always think of another idea, another plan, or another way to do something!!  This morning I said, "Avi, don't forget to flush!"  She said, "I'll do it with my elbows!" Ok, sure, why not!?!  :)

She spent most of her morning in the preschool room doing several activities.  First picture: "Hey Gary!! I found two matches!!"  (She actually found all the matches and completed the activity.)  This is basically a matching activity, but the faces have lots of different expressions and indicate feelings so we identified those and talked about them as well.  There are silly faces, happy faces, angry, sad, frustrated, etc.

Next two pictures; This activity involves finding letters to match the pictures and names.  This was super cute because she was excited when she realized others had the same letters in their name.  When we're reading books we've generally focused on the first letter of everyone's name.  "Nora! I have an 'N' in my name too!" "Nora! You have a 'A' in your name too!!"  "Gary! You have an 'A' too!!"  Then she said, "Gary!  I made your name!"  Loved Avi's excitement about it!
