... "What does Nick do at Parent Ed?"
Well, never fear, I'm here for you!
When we arrive, there are many options for free play. Nick went through a stretch when he had to play with this counting toy every time, first thing.
These days, he is instead trying out the Special Activity of the day. Today, it was collecting and sorting natural items from the outdoor area (leaves, flowers, seed pods...). Other days, it has been cutting vegetables or planting grass seeds.
Sometimes he paints on the easel outside, while other weeks he plays with the Play-Doh.
After Free Play, it is Singing Time. The teacher leads us in many favorite songs, some of which have a puppet that Nick likes to go up and pat gently (or squeeeeeze), such as the green frog, Matilda the Gorilla, the iguana and the little duck. The Crocodile is "no touching."
Sometimes she reads a story at the end of Singing Time.
At Snack Time, Nick gets to try a variety of different snack items. Today, he was happy to see that someone brought dried seaweed again!
Then, the Moms have their discussion and the kids get more Free Play. Some of the things Nick enjoys during this time are:
Lining up the cows. Yeah, that's right; he likes them lined up.
Playing with cars.
Playing in the sand. 
Riding a tricycle. (He won't let me call it a "trike.")
Driving the toy cars.
I am proud and delighted that he tries so many different things during Free Play and participates during Singing Time!
But this is our Nick after all, so...
...what do you think he spends the most Parent Ed time doing?

Nick...you have such fun things to play at Parent Ed! Just wait until you get to go to school next year. Can hardly wait to see you make those baskets when I come down in a few weeks so keep practicing! And, didn't I see a new soccer ball and soccer uniform from the Easter Bunny? We'll have lots of fun things to play. Love you. xxoo Noni
