Hugh: And then Caleb and summer that's green leaves!
Allison: Summer is back to green leaves...What about in the winter?
Hugh: Um….in the winter we could have...
Caleb: Snowfall!
Maisie: No! We put a snow man in the Winter! No! A present! Like Christmas! No, no, not presents, my birthday!

Tegan's Fall

A Sun and Moon

Tommy:  At the night it has moons and at the day has suns! Allison: because during the day you see the sun and at the night you see the Moon? Tommy: Yes and on the calendar it has a sun when that day is morning!

"The Sound Game" 
also known as...
"The Parrot Game"
"Noisy Time"
"Ball Pat"

Inspired by a Tucker Room Favorite: 

After reading how Harold the parrot developed his own sounds and sense of voice, we were inspired to think about the various unique sounds that we can all make with our own voices.
​We began a game where the children take turns creating different sounds.

How to play: 
1. Begin with a zero-level voice
2. A designated child walks around the group and places the ball on each friend's head for a few seconds each 
3. when the ball touches your head, you can make any sound you want
4. When the ball leaves your head, you return to a zero-level voice 

Tegan and Abby lead our "Noisy Time" today:
