Sowing Seeds

"They are starting to grow!" Several children noticed that the beans were starting to open up! They showed with their hands how the seeds were expanding. Other children who had not yet had a chance to plant their bean stalks did so today.

Several children who had been away last week were back today, and the Turtles were so glad to be re-united, gleefully greeting each other and picking right up where they had left off.

Quilting, Mod-Podge Style

Today we began our Something Blue Quilt, beginning by piecing together the grid-lines with scraps of all our blue pieces. On the Monday when we return, we will fill in the center of each square. If your child does not yet have their "something blue" please please please bring it in that Monday.

Today we also:

building, big

and small

painted with custom mixed colors,

worked on patterning,

continued the hunt for the missing "T"

played chase on the playground,

and observed the ducks by the creek.

If You're Happy and You Know It!

Movement with Missy was so much fun!

We were Busy Bees finding partners:

Then we sang, "If You're Happy and You Know It:"

wag your tail,

flap your ears,

snap your jaws,

squawk your beak,

pound your chest,

and laugh like a hyena!

We played dodge ball:

And did the parachute, aka Missy's dress.
