A Thursday Adventure!

In order to help the Turtles think of additional ways to make our cardboard brick house more beautiful, the Turtles were asked to go on an adventure to look at all the different types of houses in a close by neighborhood! Before heading out, a very important question was asked: What do you think we will see in the neighborhood?  David responded by asking, "what is a neighborhood?" and Gabby enthusiastically replied, "where people live!".  Ella then added that "all the houses are all different, like red, and brown, and grey".  Lots of great ideas were shared and we were so excited to set out for our adventure with clipboards and pencils in hand!

We found a big tree to sit against as we observed and sketched the house!

During Free Choice Time,

there was a walking chimney with legs,

a science teacher who was writing names,

and mod podge brick layers.

Then all of a sudden there were meteors that were melting all over our trays!! (flubber)

And, of course, our beloved puppets came out to play!

Our morning then came to an end with Music!  

Jenny introduced us to a special drum made out of snake skin!

We even got a chance to drum on it and feel the skin of the snake!

Jenny then challenged the Turtles to a new version of "head, shoulders, knees, and toes", called "hooves, belly, antlers, nose".  The Turtles loved the challenge and was even able to sing it super fast!

Then we sang "At the Aquarium", which included clams, swordfishes, octupi, and sharks!

Jenny also taught us how to sound like we are under the water by using our fingers against our lips.
