Fish in the Sea...or Pond....or Lake!

Our big news this week was a wonderful walk that we took at 5 Rivers. The children saw turtles, catfish, a great blue heron, and heard and saw many birds. We posed for a few pictures along the way! We explored the "fish" theme in our classroom, printing fish, painting fish, and stamping fish in many colors. The children sang songs about fish and did the "fishy pokey," listened to stories about Mister Seahorse and A House for Hermit Crab and explored a table full of sea shells and a water table full of fish. We had an interesting week!

Growing Week

 We watched colored water climb up to the top of white flowers this week, planted bean seeds in our window, and created a garden of flower and bean seeds. The children helped to create a poster of a flower growing and what it needs; sun, rain, and lots of bugs. We read books about gardens, and seeds, and the life cycles of seeds, and painted very colorful pictures with all of the colors of spring. The 3's came over to our room and we made a big marble painting for our school's fundraiser. We had a busy, sunny week!

there's a new way to talk to each other on the block rug. You need to have a phone, and you say "calling all (child's name); they answer, hopefully, and you make your plans.
