I had sent away for some ladybugs from Insect Lore (for us to watch during our insect unit) and they finally came! During circle time we poured the ladybug larvae into our Ladybug Land container...the kids were so fascinated with this and sooo excited!!
Thursday we wrapped our Mother's Day/Father's Day gifts and finished our cards. Then Ava's mom came in with ice cream for our snack..yum!! We got to pick if we wanted vanilla or chocolate. We went outside and jumped rope and blew bubbles when we were finished eating!
We learned some great vocabulary...larvae, pupa, metamorphosis!! Then we heard some great stories about Moms and Dads. It's always fun to make presents for Mother's Day but since we aren't in school in June, we wanted to celebrate Father's Day too...so we did a combined gift and card. It is so sweet listening to the kids talk about their parents and how much they love them. We went around the circle and shared things that we love about our Moms and our Dads.
Last week we traced our hands on contact paper and put them on canvas. This week we painted over the entire canvas and then pulled the contact paper off when the paint was dry. We were left with really cool images of our hands to give to our parents as a gift!
It was Charlie's birthday on Wednesday. He brought in shark cupcakes....homemade by G.G. ...delicious! We had fun trying to identify what kind of shark everyone got on their cupcake! Thanks Charlie!!
Of course we had to sing "Happy Birthday" to the birthday boy!
Finally we went inside and heard a story. 
Thanks Ava and Melissa for such a great day!!
