In the green grass...

Did you know that August was Foot Health Month? Yeah, me either...! Yesterday we talked about going barefoot, especially during the summer time. We discussed how many feet we have, how many toes, and we need them to hop, jump, walk and run.

Yesterday we practiced jumping in the grass:
we jumped as high as we could
as far as we could
backward and forward
jump and spin

Today we went in the front yard (with shoes on since we have tree issues) and talked about the grass. The color, the smell, how it felt when we picked it up, and how much of it we saw.

During music time we pretended our streamers were grassy areas. Some picked the grass, some pretended to mow it, and some played in it.

Since we were closed Friday, we finished our ABC necklaces from last week.

The finished product

Then we made a book called, "In the grass".
Tomorrow we get to explore our footprints in the grass!!!
