Fun Week

It's so hard to believe that the school year is over!!  It went by so quickly!  We had a lot of fun our last week of school.  We sent home our flower paintings as well as our sunflowers and zinnias that we planted.

We celebrated Ava's birthday with popsicles and ice cream!

We had our class celebration at the park...

and we took a final picture by our "adopted" tree.

We made an art project based on Kandinsky's artwork.  Here's the original....

and here's our try at it.....

In 2012, a Kandinsky painting sold at auction for $23 million dollars...you might want to hang onto this artwork....you never know....

We also enjoyed watching our lady bugs all week.  They changed from pupae into lady bugs.  We soaked raisins in water for 5 minutes and then dropped them into "Ladybug Land" for the adult ladybugs to eat.  At the end of the week we released our ladybugs.  Hopefully they'll help keep the area around Maple Leaf free from aphids!

Here is the link to one of the kids favorite songs: The Dinosaur Dance....they may want to sing along with it at home and show you the dance again!!
