From teacher Angela: Maddie stood at the fence watching all the men cut down the trees. We saw one big tree fall all the way to the ground in one piece. Madeline and I talked about why they were cutting down the trees, and that they were making the big trees into wood chips with the loud machine.

From teacher Angela: Madeline brought a bowl of sand over outside and held it up for me to drink out of. We pretended it was hot and burned my mouth. Maddie told me to blow on it. We also collected crab apples and put them in a bag for the garbage.

From teacher Angela: Madeline and another child sat with one of the preschoolers this morning. She read Maddie's Aladdin book to them. Outside, we did our gathering time on the porch. Maddie helped choose books to listen to and swayed along to the songs "Silly Sally" and "Hooray for Fish."

From teacher Angela: Madeline chose pieces of tape from the table during art. She pressed them one by one onto her paper, all in a line end-to-end. Outside we participated in music and movement time. Madeline practiced tossing the ball "up" and rolling it inside of a hula hoop.

From teacher Angela: Maddie sat with our junior counselor today. They built a tower of lego blocks and Maddie knocked it down. During gathering time she helped identity correct places for the Green Monster's eye, ears, and mouth before telling him to "go away."

From teacher Carlee: Maddie really enjoyed sharing her dinosaur puppet with her friends today at gathering. We read a story about dinosaurs to go along with her sharing. Maddie also really enjoyed the felt board story "Brown Bear."

From teacher Angela: Madeline spent all her time outside bonding with the new girl in the class. In the "woods," she took the girl's hands and they twirled in circles singing Ring Around the Rosie. After they all fell down, the two of them made chocolate ice cream in the sandbox.
