Flowers

We started the week celebrating charlie's birthday!  He brought in some yummy train cookies for snack.  He said he helped his mommy decorate them.  Happy 4th birthday, Charlie, and thanks for the delicious treat!!

We were learning about flowers this week.  We walked around the neighborhood on a flower hunt.  We found daffodils, tulips, pink and purple hyacinths, lillys, grape hyacinths and crocus!!  Most of the kids decided that their most favorite flower of all is the dandelion!!!  Because they can pick those!!

We liked to smell the flowers if we were able to get close enough.  We found out if you get too close you may end up with pollen on your nose or lip!!

We were scientists when we went inside and looked at some potted daffodils that were done blooming.  We pulled them out and found a bulb on the bottom of the stem!!  Then we saw roots underneath that.  We also looked at some other plants and identified their parts.

We learned about the letter Y.  The color yellow starts with the letter Y.  Lots of flowers are yellow!!  Mrs. Chyko helped us make y's with do-a-dots.

Another day we planted seeds.  We planted sunflower seeds and snapdragon seeds. We covered the with dirt, added water and put them in the sunny window to grow.  It will be fun to watch them grow over the next few weeks.

We also heard some great stories about families and mommies this week.  We had a lot of fun making a special project for our moms.  Happy Mother's Day!!
