March 26th - March 30th

Butterflies, Ladybugs and Bees Oh My....

 

We will continue to study the life cycle of the butterfly and then start our unit on ladybugs and bees.  Last Friday, we released 4000 ladybugs into our garden....watch out aphids!  My MWF friends had a great time playing with them and than sharing their observations with the class.  We will compare these with the observations we made about the earth worms last week and then compile this information into a Venn diagram.  Your kiddos are so smart!  By the way...no they won't completely grasp this concept, but it is a wonderful opportunity to expose them to some higher level learning.  I like to call it planting a mind bomb. 

 *********************************************************************************************

Next Wednesday, the MWF class, along with the other Wednesday classes  will have a breakfast picnic/egg hunt and the Rail Road Park (Scottsdale Rd. and Indian Bend). All parents and siblings are of course welcome!   We will meet at the playground area at 9:30 for play and pot luck snack.  Then at 10:15ish we will have a HUGE and WONDERFUL egg hunt! This is what you need to do/bring:

• 12 plastic filled eggs...taped shut - no chocolate please
•      If your younger children would  like to participate in the egg hunt, please bring 12 eggs for them as well. 
• Sign up for a snack - available on Monday, March 26th

Don't forget the sunblock!

Don't worry if you are in my Tuesday/Thursdays class...we will have a special day on Thursday and have our own egg hunt!  Please bring 12 plastic filled eggs (taped shut).  We will have our egg hunt somewhere on campus....

Also for both classes.....don't worry about your egg basket....we will make one in class! 

Please let me know if you have any questions.
