April 21, 2017

Thus week the caterpillars celebrated Earth Day and learned more about taking care of the wonderful world God gave us! We talked about the importance of recycling and created recycling collages. On one of our nature walks, we picked dandelions to paint with. On another walk, we discovered rocks and decided it would be fun to paint them and turn them into pets! We painted bark for our pets to live on!. We cooperatively painted an earth blue and talked about all the water that is on it. Then we used our handprints to paint the green land! We planted seeds and are hoping that they grow into beautiful flowers! We are also observing our caterpillar chrysalis and are anxiously waiting for butterflies to

emerge!

This week we talked about bugs.

We spider printed with paper towel rolls, had eggs and grass in the sensory table and practiced

our days of the week and months of the year.

We played with playdough and wrote in our journals!

Have a great weekend!

Ladybugs had a fun week!
