Last week we wisely realized that our brainstormed list for our royal ball was too big to be accomplished within a week (since children wanted the dance party earlier). So we readjusted our plans. We spoke about these real life skills that when we feel a plan does not work out, it's always ok to switch to a different plan and be adaptive and flexible! With this said, our list narrowed down to a realistic goal that we truly thought we would be able to achieve and our prep continued accordingly.
This week we learned how to dance at a Ball...
We read the book 'Giraffes Can't Dance' which showed us different solo and duet styles of dancing, and as each page was turned, we practiced a new step that was shown in the book.
Friends volunteered to show the moves they learned so far...
We later did a duet dance choosing our dance partners and pretending we were in the ballroom :)
Girls were very excited to show symmetrical gymnastic moves!
Spirit Week...
All the children showed great spirit this week and participated in celebrating each day with fun and enthusiasm. We had hat and tie day, crazy hair day, Disney/ superhero day, twin day, and swim suit/ water day.

Water table play...
Running to save our lives from the crazy caterpillar sprinkler!!!!
This week we also had to catch up on a lot of stuff with children who had missed a few projects. Additionally, with Mother's Day coming up, there are a few surprises in store.
Children working to make a special present for mommies...sorry can't disclose more than this ;) ...it's a surprise after all :) :) :))
Moreover, we are preparing for the upcoming graduation.
Again this one is a surprise, so can't say much about it..:)
I should confess, our children are great multitaskers thriving with so many projects in hand, yet doing amazingly with each one of them. Their patience, virtue, and grace are commendable and developing. They have learned to better be able to work in groups, wait for instructions if needed, and work to their full potential. It's hard to put in words of how proud we are of them!
Keep seeing you around.
Hugs,
Teacher Rashida
