Joy School: Unit 7: Silly Playing

We started Unit 7 which also has two parts. The first is the Joy of Spontaneous Delight and the second part is the Joy of Trust and Confidence.

Joy of Spontaneous Delight only had two lessons and it's all about having fun and being silly.

First we started the lesson by playing with balloons. Then singing "If You're Happy and You Know It".
Then we got to do silly things like shaking hands with a door handle, jumping out of a box, and acting like a turtle which Hailey is demonstrating.

Following that, they could blow bubbles using a straw. Luc went a little over board with it.

Hailey couldn't blow and kept sucking it up, so I blew the bubbles and she popped them.

Then we did a silly story with flannel board pictures. I had a random selection of pictures that they could use to fill up the story. Hailey didn't get it but it cracked Luc up. (Luc didn't have school, so I had him all day.)

After that, they painted with shaving cream that I added a little bit of paint to the shaving cream piles.

We finished the lesson by reading "The Monster at the End of This Book" which is a Sesame Street book that I got from Walmart for $3. Hailey was very nervous about the monster at the end and didn't want the pages turned. When we got to the end, Hailey just didn't understand that the Grover is the monster at the end of the book since she's not scared of Grover. She keeps telling me that this book belongs to the library since she doesn't want us to keep it.
