Many tired it and then

switched it......

a handful keep the chair 

backwards

Next ENVIRONMENTAL PRINT

Mason had environmental print 

to share

Next I passed out HEARTS with

I LOVE BACKWARDS DAY

written BACKWARDS

And then a MIRROR.... as soon as the

children held the heart up to the

mirror

Cameron said, " Is this

mirror magic? The letters are right now!"

I said, "All mirrors will work!!"

All the children thought this was pretty cool!

Everyone brought their heart

home, so they can show it to 

their families

Next I said the letters in each child's name

backwards and they had to tell me who it was......

Hannah's name is unique....... same forwards

and backwards

OUTSIDE TIME

BUBBLES

Our regular playground too!

Being outside at a different time

we got to see different kids outside

Charlie found his 

cousin

💚💚💙💙💛💛💜💜

COUSINS

Going down the slide backwards

We had SO much fun!!!

But I think we will all be HAPPY to

have a schedule normal again

Many MANY times throughout the day

the children asked

what are we doing NEXT?

To be honest, I am more tired today!

It is TIRING to use my brain so much to think about

what comes next. A perfect example of why

following a routine and schedule is SO

important, especially for young children.

Routine and schedules provide security!

 Children don't have to think and worry

about what will come next. They can just spend that time

 concentrating on what they

are doing in the moment and 

have fun!
