Children's Center
10:50-11:50 a.m.

There is a new girl in a green Eastern sweatshirt sitting in the rocking chair reading a story to Kenlee and Michael. Jackie is at the computer. Arielle is reading to herself on the floor. There is a new kid I don't know who is playing at the magnets table. There is 8 kids that I don't know. I recognize Melody and Clara. Zino is at the water table with a new adult I don't recognize. Melody Clara and Fabiola are at the sand table. The girl in the green sweatshirt didn't get mad that Melody spilled the sand. She just kept saying lets solve the problem. Get the broom and he dustpan. One table is empty, another has play doh on it, one was a coloring/cutting table, and one was a magnetic train table. A new lady walks in. Kenlee is getting in trouble and she is talking to him. she has a name badge on. There are lots of kids here today. They seem active but not too hyper. Arielle is at the coloring table. She cuts something out and puts it on the end of a Popsicle stick. The adults start saying that it is clean up time. They take all the projects off the tables and get the kids to go sit by the rocking chair. Im wondering what is going on. I haven't been here at this time. Jackie starts reading one fish two fish red fish blue fish. She says that she already read it today but doesn't mind reading it again. This kid who is wearing yellow and blue keeps standing up. Kenlee does too. Jackie doesn't get mad. She talks and makes conversation during the story. Clara has about 4 hair accessories in her hair. It is very messy. I dont know if she likes it like this or if it just got messed up. Kenlee is talking a lot. There is also lots of coughing. Shows how easily germs go around. She has to tell Malcolm and Evan to put their hands in their laps. There is a lady in the room that I don't know. She has a notebook and is taking notes. The make an announcement that the kids are going outside. There is two other rooms going so i won't really be able to observe them out there. There is a little girl sitting on the floor staring at me. I wonder if she wants me to help her. melody was starting to cry. I think it was because she couldn't get her boot on. I've never seen her get that upset. When we get outside a little boy runs over to the snow and eats it. A lot of kids go on the play structure. It surprised me. I thought they would want to play in the snow. Three classes are out now. Melody and Clara are making a snowman and Fabiola is making a star. It was a good day to go today since there was so many kids.
