Our theme for yesterday was circles. We talked about all the circles there are in our lives. We talked about who we let into our circles and that sometimes you have to move people out of your circle. After that discussion we read "We Greet the Four Animals" by Terri Mack I liked that this book had both drawings and pictures of the animals and I also appreciated the questions at the end of the book. Being a bit tired it was helpful to have prompts about where to go with the discussion. The girls enjoyed thinking about what animal they are like and where they might need to work more - mostly listning. Following our discussion we sat down to draw based on the book. S took the theme love and translated it into minecraft people. R made pictures of each animal so that we could set up a circle on the wall with them. I made a bear and a lipsticked buffalo. While this was a simple set of activities I think it worked for not being too long and by being open to interpretation.
R's Eagle. It might be sideways.
This is my bear. He looks grumpy.
This is R's bear. It is dancing to the song "Dumb ways to Die"
This is R's buffalo. I think it may have been dancing too.
