Happy 3rd Birthday, Branden! We had fun celebrating with balloons and cupcakes (thank you Angela!). I can't believe how much these kids are growing.... sigh. It's all so much fun though, when I see them learning and growing.

Today we did a review of some things we have been learning. The kids read books for awhile today and then outside we played a ball game. We sit in a circle and I take turns rolling the ball to each child. I say something that starts with "A" and roll the ball. They either repeat it back (younger kids) or think of something new (older kids) and roll it. We did this for A, B, and C. We then found things all over that are red, then green, then circles. The kids think this is a great game and can be a good car game.

We also had our daily circle time with the same songs and the calendar. We say the month, the days of the week, and count the days. Branden picked out a birthday picture to put on the calendar for today and we sang Happy Birthday.

The weather was beautiful, we had a birthday, we had fun and learned a lot; what a great day!
