Happy Summer!

 I Did Nothing Today

Author Unknown

When children come home at the end of the day, 

The question they're asked as they run out to play

Is "Tell me what did you do today?" 

And the answer they give makes you sigh with dismay.

"Nothing, I did nothing today!"

Perhaps "Nothing" means that I read a book,

.......with a teacher I got to cook.

Maybe I painted a picture of blue,

Or heard a story about a mouse that flew.

Maybe I wrote my name by myself,

Or found a giant book on the library shelf.

Maybe I helped a friend today,

Or went to my favorite area alone, 

Maybe today was the very first time

That my scissors followed a very straight line,

Maybe I sang a song right to the end,

Or worked with a special brand new friend.

When you're three, four, or five your heart has wings

And "Nothing" can mean so many things.

💚Thank you for allowing me to be part of your Child's "Nothing". We sure did a lot of "Nothing" this year.  I feel so blessed to be able to be a small part of their lives💚

Have a wonderful Summer!

Our butterflies have emerged!

They have stretched their wings and have started to flutter.

We fed them orange slices and sugar water so that they could strengthen their wings.

We had so much fun feeding, observing, learning about and enjoying our butterflies!

 

On Tuesday, we released our butterflies into nature.

 Butterfly Update

We are patiently waiting for our painted lady butterflies to emerge from the chrsalides.  

In addition to learning about the life cycle of a butterfly, we have been learning about other insects too!

Did you know .....

 Grasshoppers hop!

 Caterpillars stretch!

Ants march!

Ladybugs spin!

Butterflies flutter!

Did you know that all insects have 6 legs? 

Our Weekly Reader activity was to count and draw six legs on the bumble bee.

Have a wonderful weekend!

May 2nd-May 6th

This week our caterpillars moved to the top of the cups and attached themselves to the lid.  They hung in a "J" shape, shed their exoskeletons one last time and hardened into chrysalides.

We checked on them each day making notes of the changes.

We moved our chrysalides to the butterfly habitat.

Now we wait for our butterflies to emerge! 

It was so nice to have the Moms join us for the May crowning and celebration of Mothers!

💮💮Have a wonderful Mother's Day!💮💮

Save the date for our end of year Early Childhood Celebration on Wednesday, May 25! Parents are invited to join us for this special event. More information will follow!
