The Week of the Young Child
The Week of the Young Child™ is an annual celebration hosted by the National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC) celebrating early learning, young children, their teachers, and families. Each day had a theme that we explored in addition to our weekly specialist classes such as martial arts, music. and Spanish.

We played our favorite instruments, danced and created stories to classical music!
Tasty Tuesday/ Taco Tuesday
We read Dragons Love Tacos and made tacos of our own--no spicy salsa!
Work Together Wednesday
A painting challenge: Painting on one paper with two connecting brushes
Artsy Thursday
Messy and collaborative art experiences with friends!
Special Persons Day/ Family Friday
We ended the week with gardening and breakfast with the special people in our lives! Thank you for attending!
At lunch time we talked about what we should do to help our seeds grow. Everyone agreed that sunlight and water are key. I shared with the friends that some people think that giving plants extra love in way of singing and talking to them may also help the growing process.
Gabriel: My plant is going to grow very big and it's going to be beautiful! I'm going to put it in my roof.
Lennox: I'm gonna dance and have a birthday party for my plants so they can grow.
Arya: I play "Happy" for my plants so they can be happy and they are gonna dance.
Avery: Me and my plants are gonna dance together and have so much fun and be in my room and now my plants, all of my toys and my brother, too and my dad.
Noah: My favorite song is "I'm still standing." I will play it in my whole house, my sister's room and my room and I'm going to put it in my roof so it can get rainy.
Eliza: I'm going to put my plant in my roof, too. I don't know what it's going to look like. It needs sun and rain.
Sebastian: I sing "Ningago" to my plant. I give it water and grow so big, eat my dinner, eat my snack, drink my water, grow so big!
