Who built the ark?

Announcements first, then the fun stuff: 
THIS WEDNESDAY, October 17 is PICTURE DAY!  Each child will have individual pictures taken, as well as a class picture.  The photographer does a beautiful job and you will have a chance to purchase prints when the proofs come back. 

This FRIDAY, October 19 is SPIRIT DAY!  Please bring your child dressed in their TOT Time t-shirt!

WEDNESDAY, October 31 will be our NOAH'S ARK PARADE!  Please bring your child dressed as an ANIMAL (or bring the costume in their bag if you don't think they'll be comfortable in it for the entire day).  At 12:30, we will participate in the parade in the courtyard.  We've decided to participate this year and are hopeful it will go smoothly.  Likely when they see you, we will have a hard time getting them back in the room without you.  So please plan to come and enjoy the cuteness, get some pictures and then accompany us back to our room. 

Lastly, please remember that every minute after 1:00, your child is anxiously awaiting your arrival.  It's so important for these little guys to be picked up on time.  Please do your very best to be prompt, and communicate this with whoever may be picking them up if it is not you.  THANK YOU!

Now, back to the question of the week....Who built the ark?
Noah, Noah.
We sang this song, heard the story, saw it in felt, made it in a craft and really tried to get them to repeat it!  See if you can.  We will continue to talk about this story, so this would be the perfect time to read The Floating Zoo on page 18 of your Rhyme Bible Storybook at home...and ask your child "Who built the ark?"

 The glue sticks had them all mesmerized.  It's the most focused I think we've seen them!

 With the beautiful weather we've been having, we took the opportunity to see how they'd do on the playground...

 The funniest part was that the 3 year II class was outside at the same time (2 brothers of boys from our class and my son are in that class), so there was quite a rendezvous happening at the fence.

 I believe that they were being encouraged to "pet" Oliver.  And he loved it!

See you Wednesday!
