Today, after Center Time and Afternoon Meeting, we had a little bit of time to meet a new High Friend in Phonics class. Today, we met Vernon and Vera, two twins who introduced us to the /v/ sound. We also played a game in which I drew pictures on the white board of things that begin with the letter v, and the kids guessed them (they were very gracious and did not make fun of my limited drawing skills once...).

After phonics, we headed up to the computer lab for our time there. When we got back down to the room, we read a fun book about running for president (Duck for President), and then had Choice Time. Adele's mom came in to run the Take-Apart Center (thank you!). Another DVD player and a blender met very timely demises today -- it was really interesting!

After all of that, it was time for us to head home!

P.S. Today, all of the kids had their vision and hearing screened by folks from the Phillips Eye Institute. The results will be sent home in the coming days.
