Last week, Noah's pre-school celebrated International Day of Happiness and
the letter "U". Among all the joyous activities, they explored
the fantastical world of unicorns by making horns; practiced writing U's by
making happy faces; and even re-purposed our pvc pipes by making upside down
U's for the garden, which will be used as a support system for their plants/vines
to grow around. They also kept up with energetic 3/4 year olds by having a
dance party where were they had a robot dance off and congo'd all around the classroom
to "Happy" by Pharell (clearly a new favorite song).
Here's a gist of what was said during one of our Happy
vs.Unhappy circle times..
What makes you happy? 
Reza: Valentine's Day
Noah G.: When I go with my
mom and go see firetrucks and see astronauts when it flies.
Noah T.: Toys!
Taavi: When I get to ride
trains...and climbing on a firetruck connected on a play structure at a park.
Lily: Daddy
Silas: Firetruck that takes
away the park. That's crazy!
Colt: When I go on trips. It
makes me happy.
Jax: I love firetrucks,
backhoes and dump trucks!
Eli: Superhero, my birthday
day!
What makes you unhappy?
Reza: First robot day makes me
unhappy.
Noah G. When you fall down you
might get a boo boo.
Noah T. Blood.
Taavi: When my baseball team
doesn't win. My team is the Giants.
Lily: Nothing...never!
Silas: When trucks take away the
park and dumps it on the ambulance and goes boing boing!
Colt: When I don't get to go on
pretend firetrucks a little bit.
Jax: When I'm burning on smoke
and fire!
Eli:
Firetrucks, well actually...
