A Peek Into the Class with Mr. Thomas

Friday mornings mean we go to Sports Com and go to a class with Mr. Thomas. When I first heard about the class, I thought this had something to do with Thomas the Train! I was so pumped because I knew that would be just what Avery would love. This class does not have anything to do with trains. It is a class led by a man named Thomas!

The class begins with a little music.

Here they are singing Twinkle Twinkle Little Star.

Then they go around and walk in a circle while Mr. Thomas plays his harmonica. When he stops the kids go and get into a colored hula hoop. He will go around and ask the color of the hoop they are in. He also makes sure and includes everyone's name which the teacher in me loves! :) 

Red Light, Green Light is next! This game makes me think of my childhood. I always enjoyed this game! Mr. Thomas has a red ball and a green one. He will lift up the ball to signal to go or stop. 

He will pick a child that has been following directions and he or she will get to be the line leader for this activity. They get in line and take different steps while walking on the red line. Here they are taking BIG steps! 

We love when we get out the huge parachute. They work on the difference between their left and right by walking around in a circle. They raise the parachute up and down different ways according to what Mr. Thomas says! (Love how they are working on listening and following directions, what 3 year old doesn't need to practice that!!) Then they get to raise it up and go under and Mr. Thomas will tell them the story of the 3 Little Bears!

One of my favorite things to watch is when Mr. Thomas and the kids "Go on a Bear Hunt!" He has the best voices and is so animated! The kids love it (well most do some are scared of the "bear")! 

He ends the class by singing with them. Here they are singing The Wheels on the Bus. 

We are so glad we found out about Mr. Thomas and his class. Even if it doesn't have to do with trains, Avery sure loves going! 

Of course Reed Morgan is always with us! Here we are with our friends, Molly and Baby Annsley.
