Another interesting change with regards to programming in my new position--executing a program having not
planned the program. This is challenging for me! Not that the program that had been planned was flawed, I am just used to having to do it all...decide on program, find ideas and think about what I want the program to look like, (change my mind), finalize plans, buy/gather supplies, THEN have the program. So the 5 or 6 hours of planning and tweaking are lost. I now open the box, pull out the instructions and supplies, set up the room and do the program with the kids. I just didn't feel as prepared or excited like I usually am for programs.
Our Kids Club event today was all about our eyes!
I began by reading
Whose Eyes are These? A Look at Animal Eyes--Big, Round and Narrow by Peg Hall; illustrated by Ken Landmark
We also talked about why pirates might have worn an eye patch. Google answer: Pirates frequently had to move above and below decks, from daylight to near darkness, and...the smart ones "wore a patch over one eye to keep it dark-adapted outside."
We then investigated four stations
Eye Model and Hello, Red Fox by Eric Carle
Penny Drop (using both eyes, then one eye)
