We eased into circle time with a familiar good morning song, playing our jingle bells and singing good morning in Spanish, Japanese, Swahili, Italian, and English, followed by "Frere Jacques," and "Twinkle, Twinkle." One child asked to sing a song her Mom taught her and she did a solo of "You Are My Sunshine," and we all joined in on the second round. We brought our chairs to the table and enjoyed a few peaceful minutes using water color paints. Water colors are a soothing kind of art form and children like to mix colors and see what happens. It was a relaxing way to enter back into our little community after the winter vacation.
