Butterflies

We are hatching butterflies!! Last week we watched the tiny caterpillars grow bigger and bigger. This week they crawled to the top of the cup and formed a chrysalis around them. Can't wait to see what happens next!

Phoenix Zoo Field Trip

Another fun day at the Phoenix Zoo.  Here's our little friends in front of the giraffes.  We also got to see the squirrel monkeys, zebras, orangutans, elephants, snakes, and more...a great day at the zoo.  :)

Read Across America Celebration

What a fun day today. We wore our pajamas and brought in our favorite Dr. Seuss books to help us celebrate Dr. Seuss' birthday. Dr. Seuss was someone who loved to read and continues to encourage others to read. We had green eggs and ham for snack today and made a tally mark chart on whether or not we liked green eggs and ham...as did Sam-I-Am in the book Green Eggs and Ham. We read The Foot Book and then traced our own feet and made a foot trail. We read Marvin K. Mooney Will You Please Go Now and then we played a game of "go". We read Cat in The Hat Comes Back and then practiced balancing books on our head like the Cat in the Hat does. We even made a cute little Cat in the Hat art project. We finished up our day making chalk drawings of One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish. How much fun is reading...thank you Dr. Seuss!

George Washington

Happy President's Day from our preschoolers! Last Friday we learned a little bit about Abraham Lincoln and today we learned about George Washington.

Happy Valentine's Day!

Happy Valentine's Day to all. Today was our party so we decorated heart shaped cookies with sprinkles and then exchanged Valentine cards...what a FUN day to celebrate friendships! Thanks to all the moms for helping out at the party. Happy Valentine's Day!!

Happy Groundhog's Day!

This week we learned all about Groundhog's Day. We've read books about groundhogs, made art projects, made weather predictions, observed our shadows, and even enjoyed a groundhog snack.

Will the groundhog see his shadow? Below is a chart of our predictions. Can you believe the groundhog did NOT see his shadow...an early spring is on its way according to legend!!
