Week of the Young Child

This past week, was the nationally recognized Week of the Young Child.  It is a week long of activities that focus on the children under one theme.  This years theme was Carnival.  As part of the week, we all had to come up with an idea for what we thought a Carnival would be.  Then on Friday night, we held our annual Family Night to showcase the talents of the young!

For my room, we decided to look at the games at the carnival.  The first thing that came to mind was a fortune teller.  And the second thing that we thought of was THE CLAW! Without a doubt in our minds, we decided to do two things...

 I am very proud of this creation.  The idea of the machine was in my mind and actually worked when we started the construction of it.  Thankfully we have been having nice weather so I could undo a bubble at our house to use for the window of the claw!

 Our very own fortune teller...
 Cooper's room did a huge roller coaster!  All of the kids were invited to bring in a box to create their own roller coaster ride.  Here is Cooper's ride in the roller coaster!

 Brewer was a duck in the Sesame Street's Carnival.  He was part of the pick-a-duck game that you often see at the carnival.
Overall, the night was a huge success.  66 families voted but unfortunately, none of our walls won...that is OK because we still had fun!
