Confetti Art, Watering, and Corbin's First Day!

We have a new member of the Casa T. family! Today was Corbin's first day, and he had the best day! When I opened the door, he walked right inside proudly holding his lunch box and practically left his mama behind at the door. When it was time for his mama to go leave, he wasn't so sure about that part, but after a few moments, he was happy as could be and exploring things around the house. The children are so thrilled to have a new friend join us.










Highlights of Our Day

We took Halloween Casarones, and the children opened them (or cracked) them, to remove the confetti inside. Bowls were filled of the multi-colored confetti and then, they had fun further cracking what remained of the eggs into smaller pieces. Then more fine motor practice with the sequential steps of applying liguid glue to the paper, and then adding confetti on top of the glue. Corbin enjoyed grabbing a large amount of confetti and placing it on the glue to cover more space, while Mia and Lulu enjoyed sprinkling confetti in smaller amounts. Sophia and Damon were more interested in the glue itself, so they spent more time exploring its properties.









We read, From Head to Toe, by Eric Carle, which is a great book to practice mimicking and recognizing body parts. And yes, we even read it in Spanish too!




The children helped water the garden today. *If anybody has extra child-sized watering cans, please send to the house.

Our sugar skulls (calaveras) are now dry, so we will begin assembling them tomorrow and begin painting soon!
