* Creative Art: SELF PORTAITS - The children will be encouraged to paint self portaits of themselves. Mirrors and paint will be provided and the teacher will guide them on how to look in the mirror and paint the parts of their face that they see. What a great way to discover what differences and similarities they have with eachother. Also they'll be able to discover special facial qualties with themselves.

*Messy Table: WHEAT - We'll keep wheat in the table today since it's always such a fun and interesting sensory experience!

* Dramatic Play: BIRTHDAY CELEBRATION - The children will be able to roll play celebrating theirs and others birthdays. Cooking and eating birthday cakes and icecreams, wrapping birthday presents, party hats, etc. What a fun time to roll play!

Snack (small groups come at different times to eat during Self-Selected Activities. Unless we are making our snack, then we will eat it during small group.)
