As the Learning Tree opens its doors at 6:00 am,
I kiss my mommy goodbye and run inside to Mrs. Lambert. She hugs me and takes me over to the building blocks where Timmy and Bethany are playing. We all build a house together before it's time to clean up and sit in a circle. We all hear stories, sing songs and share together. I like it when we do a puppet show the best.

Today is Lisa's Birthday. She is four. We get to eat cake and have juice or a snack. I like singing the birthday song to her.

After we eat, we go outside to play. I usually play in the sand box and the castles, or ride the tricycles. We like to chase each other in the circle. Yesterday we got to play with clay, but today it's too hot so Mrs. Lambert is letting us run through the sprinklers.

Just before lunch we fold our hands an say a prayer to God. We thank him for our food and for mommy and daddy. I thank Him for Mrs. Lambert, too. I like her.

Next we have lunch and then we take a nap. Sometimes I'm really tired from playing so hard, but sometimes I'm not, so Mrs. Lambert rubs my back until I fall asleep, just like my mommy does at home.

 

When I wake up its time to go potty and I put my mat and blanket away all by myself. After I'm done, I eat an apple and talk to my friend Shelly. We decide what to play next.

We go outside and pretend we're mommies. We take dolls for a walk and for a drive on the trikes... they like that. Shelly wants to go on the tire swing. I tell her that I just ate and might throw up, so we go listen to the other teacher tell a story instead.

My mommy comes to get me when we are done playing. I am really happy to see her. I say goodbye to Mrs. Lambert and tell her I'll see her later. I can't wait until tomorrow because we get to play with clay again!
