What a wonderful first day of April it has been! Today started off with lots of exploring at the piano and puzzling action.

Yesterday afternoon, we opened a special delivery from Amazon: new T-rex dinosaurs. It seems like our persuasive letter to Tami worked! The new dinosaurs have been a popular toy option today. Children have taken to calling the new green dino below the “poop dinosaur” because it came with a “genuine dino poop fossil.” You can check out the poop for yourself in a jar up front in the science area  

Many friends chose to work with the Connect 4 set today as well. It was so interesting to see the many ways in which children chose to use the chips: balance them on their sides, put them in the game board, or stack them!

Today our pickled beets were ready for us to try! While they looked very colorful, most friends agreed that they liked the beets better before they were pickled.

Although eating the pickled beets may not have enticing to most friends, painting with the beet juice certainly was!

The finished products were quite unique:

Wee Sprouts: Cucumbers and pea pods. Breakfast: Kashi’s Blueberry Clusters and bananas. Lunch: Whole wheat tortillas with cheddar cheese, carrots/cucumbers, and fresh apples. Snack: Block cheddar cheese and fresh pears.
