I Think I Can



This week was all about trying new things. We read about the little engine that could and the kids were able to do new things and to cheer one another on. There was an obstacle course, ring toss, and bean bag toss to try.




They made puppets.

And they were able to peel carrots, cut apples, make their own sandwiches and pour their own milk! They loved using sharp objects and being able to pour their own milk. It was okay if messes were made because sometimes that happens when you try new things, but you shouldn't be afraid to try!

Encourage your Joy School-er to try new things!

Feb. 23th & 25th Spontaneous Delight

This week we learned about Spontaneous Delight! The kids were able to a explore fun and imaginative ways to play with ordinary things. They also learned about SURPRISES and the joy they can bring to us and to others.

We blew bubbles with straws to see how big we could make them.



Painting with our toes (and fingers)!

Playing with balloons.



Creating pictures with "magic paint" (bleach).



Shaking hands with a door!

Playing turtles with a laundry basket.

Just being silly!!!
