Cooperative game:
Today we played a game in front of the mirror where we each took turns calling out various emotions and then we all made the associated face in the mirror. What a kick the kids got out of that!
Science experiment:
This week's science theme: L is for Light.
Shiny Spoons
Today the kids experimented with looking at their reflections in spoons and saw how they changed depending on whether they were looking at the front vs. the back. We talked about the concepts of convex vs. concave and how the light reacts when the reflecting surface is bent.

Danced and sang to our Love and Emotions theme compilation cd and acted out the various emotions that we heard in the songs.
French:
French is emphasized throughout the entire day; especially theme related words. Today we practiced saying "Je t'aime" to tell someone they love them and also continued to reinforce all of the notions that we covered in previous weeks. We will continue to practice these sentences all week.
