Second Year Class - May 1, 2014

Dara came today and we got to use rain sticks along with the song "Down by the River."

 We also got to listen to and try out the step bells to a song about pussy willows.

 Tuesday we read the story, "The Red Wolf," in which a knitted wolf suit unravels.  Today we unravelled a knitted scarf to see what that would be like.

 We all wore our colorful raincoats on the playground for lots of running around outside!
