Baby animals and smoothies!

Today we started our unit on baby animals. We listed animal names and the name of the baby animal. We came up with elephant-calf, lion-cub, jaguar-cub, dog-puppy, cat-kitten, and butterfly-caterpillar!!

Speaking of caterpillars ours have nearly doubled in size since last week. They are busy eating and growing, half the food on the bottom of the cup is gone. We're waiting for them to climb to the top of the cup and form j's before they spin their chrysalis.

Muffin had a wonderful week-end with Hanna, our star of the week. We heard about the fun Muffin had up her cabin. Hanna also shared pictures with the class. We learned that Hanna has a horse and she loves to ride!!

As part of "star of the week" Hanna brought in her dad as a special visitor today. We helped him make delicious smoothies. We put in apples, bananas, mangos, soy milk and ice. Then we plugged our ears when he turned on the vitamix, it was so loud!! We also had turkey and cheese sandwiches on croissants, yum! Thanks so much to the Egelseers for helping to make our day so special!!

We heard the story Make Way for Ducklings and we made a mother duck and her baby as our art project today. We also learned the song 5 Little Ducks. It was a great way to spend a rainy Tuesday morning!
