Atley - 04/26/2021

Atley ate bran cereal and ate raisins for breakfast. For lunch she ate chicken, toasted whole wheat pita bread, no cucumbers, no avocado, and ate pears. 

I want to mention that I (and Lauralea when she's around) have been working hard to help the three big girls use acceptable and appropriate ways to solve problems and disputes. This is obviously an ongoing challenge, but I think they're making some progress. 

I took this first picture just moments after Atley arrived this morning. She immediately saw the toy exchange and put on this bonnet and bunny ears! I think we're a few weeks behind on Easter. Ha.

Most of Atley's pictures are in the Preschool Room doing games and activities. Even though we did an exchange you can see in the first picture they were playing the same "feelings matching game." Did you notice Avi has no matches? Well she said she didn't want to play this round, just be an observer. Ha! You know how that went! Guess who was immediately in charge and trying to control the table. Following picture: Another matching game, but this one was pretty hard. They're all bears and they have subtle differences in the skin color and it's hard to find matches! Even for those not color blind!! Ha. 

Last picture: Nora joined Atley at the table when Atley was doing an activity sorting dinosaurs by color and species. Atley got them all sorted the way she wanted them and Nora said they were "having a birthday party!" And they started singing "Happy Birthday!!"
