The children were very excited to celebrate this morning! We hope everyone has a very Happy Mother’s Day Weekend.

Did you know that a ladybug is also called a ladybird? We learned this fact as well as learning that a ladybug will get new spots as it gets older but usually only live for one month. The children enjoyed watching a video on the lifecycle of a ladybug and working on a worksheet. (https://youtu.be/SvHWxDjfFB8 )

The children had fun playing comet ball during Jumpbunch. The children threw ball that looked like a comet at different colored hoops.

We worked on numeration (1-5) and (1-10) with the cards and counters lesson. The children were excited to use ladybugs as the counters.

The children had fun in yoga and enjoyed singing and celebrating our friends who have summer birthdays.

The children are working on Mother’s Day cards and are excited to share muffins, with mom this Friday! Moms and Muffins is this Friday, May 12, 2017 from 7-9 a.m.

Welcome back, we hope everyone had a great weekend. The children shared some of the things they did to help the Earth, like recycling with dad, cleaning the backyard, picking up trash, and looking for recycling signs with mom.

Our Week of The Young Child started with the children having a fun time being seeds in the Arts Alive Garden. The children were planted in the soil and grew into beautiful flowers. They swayed in the wind, danced with other flowers, tip toed through the garden, and even crawled like inchworms!

Louise was excited to share a lime that she grew in her garden with the class!

Our class has enjoyed learning about Earth Day.  The children have enjoyed reading our Earth Day books, working on a recycling worksheet, Earth Day classification lesson, and art project.  The children were very eager to practice becoming Earth helpers by making sure the lights were turned off when we were not in the room, turning off the water and using one or two napkins.  We watched The Magic School Bus: Recycling(https://youtu.be/R6bpsYx2NTI) and learned more about how recycling works.
