Our fearless leader, Miss Debbie, prepared an evening filled with fun activities as we gathered for a pajama party in the Munson library. The kids began by making headbands so that they could each sport a set of ears that rivaled the book's main character. There were plenty of great ears constructed:
There was a station to decorate and stuff a lunch bag ball, a station to learn the importance of covering your cough, a station where the little ones could practice hand-washing the "glitter germs" away, and a puzzle/slicing station focusing on healthy fruits and vegetables.
Miss Debbie then read the selected book for the year- Wiggle by Doreen Cronin. Each child received a homemade rhythm wand with ribbons to exercise with! After the story time and exercise session, the kids were invited to climb, jump, and crawl through our obstacle course!
It wouldn't be a pajama party without a bedtime snack, so there were plenty of milk & cookies:
At the conclusion, each family was invited to choose a book to take home and continue practicing the message--- Read, Read, Read to your wee ones!
:) Would anyone care to share how you "wiggled" with your child? Our challenge for this week was to actively play with your child for (a combined total of) 60 minutes and to provide them with free play time, too. Did you go on a brisk walk? Rake and jump into a pile of leaves? Visit a city park to play on the equipment? What did your child have fun doing with you?
