Terra Luz, a day in 3 acts (Krista's Group)

A feeling of relaxation and peace prevailed today. The weather was mild and our friends were in fine spirits. We started our day outside, blowing bubbles, running, jumping and playing in the sandbox.

Shortly after arriving at school, Corbin took my hand and asked, "Ms. Krista will you come do (yoga) poses with me?" Be still my heart! Naturally, I obliged! Corbin and I did star pose, falling star, princess pose, shark pose and boat pose before he ditched me to play in the sandbox with the rest of the children. It was 3 minutes of pure bliss...thanks Corbin!

Other Scenes from this Morning:
Annie and Allie getting to know each other, holding hands while running and jumping off of the little slide together.

Anika traveling around the yard with her dress gathered up and full of sand, proudly showing off her "sand baby!"

Sophia blowing bubbles and exclaiming, "Ooh look! They're flying!"

Alaira holding court in the playhouse, asking everyone who entered to refer to her as a princess.

Scenes from the Classroom:
Jalie to Annie: " I'm having a tea party, would you like to have a tea party with me? (Pouring tea) "This is camel tea...and this is actually raspberry bread."

Scenes from the Nap Room:
Anika greeting her fellow nappers at the door with the basket of eye pillows, and asking, "Does everyone have their own blankies? I can cover you up!" She then walked around, and with great care, tucked in blankets and fluffed pillows for her friends before returning to her own nap mat.

Corbin's Words of Wisdom:
Corbin: "Ms. Krista, why were you talking to Ms. Andrea?"
Me: "Well, she's a good friend."
Corbin: (placing a kind hand on my arm and looking amused) " Ms. Andrea is actually a teacher."

Oh, Krista! I just have to say, how much I am enjoying reading your posts! I love reading about what the other children are doing when we're grouped off.

Thank you, friend.

The comments today were particularly amusing--thanks for sharing! Also, I don't know when chamomile tea became "camel" tea to Jalie, but it sounds more exotic that way...
