Good morning and Happy Mother's Day to all of the mothers and grandmothers! Also, thank you so much for the gifts and treats for Teacher Appreciation Week-they were DEFINITELY appreciated! xo
The morning class is continuing with fun duck activities-we'll be sing "5 Little Ducks" this week and we'll practicing counting with duck clothespin counting cards. Clothespins are a wonderful activity for little fingers!!
Tomorrow the afternoon class will be learning about journals. We'll each have our own journal for some drawing. We will be talking about titles and authors and then we'll be working VERY hard on trying to draw to an idea. This is a pretty important pre-cursor to writing. We'll be talking and modeling a lot while we draw and I"m hoping it will be a lot of fun!
It's been really exciting to watch our bean seeds sprout and this week we'll be planting some sunflower seeds as well.
It's looking like another great week and we're hoping to get outside as much as possible. We're already finding ticks and the black flies are pretty awesome too! I am not authorized to apply sunscreen OR bug repellent, so make sure you do that at home. We will do "tick checks" when we come inside, but you should be sure to do that at home as well.
Happy birthday Declan on Friday and speedy tonsil recovery to Elizabeth! I hope you all have a relaxing rest of your Mother's Day and let's look forward to a great week!
