We’ll try to taste as many fruits as we can and discuss the fruit benefits. On Monday we all stayed at home and celebrated. Tuesday was full of vivid music (dedicated to the “Birds” theme) and Finish songs! Also, as usual, Midis and Minis practiced their motor skill playing with peg board and Lego. On Wednesday we practiced fruits +colors and painted yellow banana and lemon, orange pear and orange and didn’t forget about practicing our songs in English and Finnish languages.
