Bye Bye Bugs

OUR OPEN HOUSE IS TONIGHT (9/25)!  IT IS FROM 5:30-6:30 PM.  WE CAN'T WAIT TO SEE YOU!

Happy Monday everyone.  We had a very busy day.  It is the last part of our time with bugs and today we got to see a spider at the viewing table.  We will still keep our eyes open for bugs outside though.  We not only had a very cool spider, but we got to play with the table top easels, Playdoh, and the crawling tunnels. Now those are pretty neat.  On Tuesday we were able to go outside because it was a lot warmer.  Yippee.  We played with the scarves, the ribbons, the collecting buckets, nerf balls and hoops.  We had a lot of fun pretending that the hoops were steering wheels.  There were fire engines, trucks and police cars in the play yard.  We also painted with water on big pieces of cardboard.  Some of us found a couple of bugs.  They were called a roly poly and an earwig.

Our songs today were "Here's the Beehive", "Baby Bumblebee" and "Itsy Bitsy Spider".  We love singing. Sometimes we also get to do some songs right before we wash our hands.  After we wash, we head right into the big play room and go to the snack tables.  Today we had peanut butter crackers.  Yum.  Thank you, Jordyn.  On Tuesday we had a great snack of bananas and goldfish crackers.  Thank you, Riley.

For art today we did something that was easy and very different.  We took yellow chalk and dipped it into gold paint.  Then we drew pictures on a piece of black construction paper.  The paint comes off onto the paper with the chalk and it looks ever so shiny.

"The Very Greedy Bee" was our story today and it was a good one.  There was a bee and he wanted ALL of the nectar.  He wouldn't share with anyone, not even his bee friends.  One day he found a special group of flowers and decided that he wouldn't let anyone know about it so that he could have all of the nectar to himself.  Well, he got so full and so fat that something happened to him.  I wonder what it was?

Parents:  Remember that permission slips to the Pumpkin Patch went home last week and they are due very soon.  The newsletter/calendar, tuition envelopes and class lists went home today.  If you have any questions, don't hesitate to call.
