flowers

We talked about seeds and flowers this week.  We learned that seeds need dirt, water and sun to grow.  We read several books about seeds including The Little Seed by Eric Carle and Clifford Plants a Garden by Norman Bridwell.  We had fun planting our own sunflower seeds on Tuesday and are excited to watch them grow and see how big they get!  

 The Garden Song is one of Mrs. Gould's favorite songs.... this video helped us learn it. (click on the link)

We're still watching our caterpillars daily.  They've nearly doubled in size since we first observed them last week!

Our butterfly squish art projects.

So beautiful!! 

The kids loved opening up their paper to see what their butterfly looked like!!

Of course we can't have butterflies without caterpillars!!

Lauren was our birthday girl and our Maple Leaf of The Week.  On Tuesday Lauren brought in birthday cupcakes in a cone to share with her friends.  Yum, what a delicious and pretty treat!!

We had fun adding the m and m's to the top of our cupcakes!!

Happy Birthday, Lauren!! 

It was a rainy week so we did movement inside.  We pretended to be caterpillars and turned into butterflies among other things!! 

Lauren's mom came to visit our class on Thursday.  She read us a delightful book about a dancing giraffe!  

Then, we created our own dancing giraffes.

Thanks Lauren for helping make our week so special!!  

Lauren brought in giraffe treats too!  They were delicious and so cute!!
