Good Afternoon!

We were itching for something to do with our hands this morning so play dough was made available at the art table. Clara said, “Wow. This play dough is stretchy!”

Different instruments were used to manipulate the play dough including rolling pins, plastic knives, and a variety of cookie cutters.

Right as we headed outside, a group of our older friends were fascinated with the butterfly bush. Over the last couple of days, we’ve seen a mixture of different butterflies throughout the backyard.

Today, Clara had luck! She was able to catch a butterfly. She mentioned, “I let it go though. It kind of wiggled out of my hand.” Thankfully, everyone was able to see it’s pretty design!

Many children headed to the garden where a little weeding took place. There weren’t any veggies that were ready to pick yet but we cleaned up the garden just a tad.

In large group, we read a story titled, “Blueberries For Sal.” I had never read it before and as I started to hold up the book, many friends said, “I’ve read that book before!”

We talked about many different topics including why the pages were just black and white with no color, what year the story was written (1948!), and if any of our friends had picked blueberries before! We loved the anticipation in this story and predicting what was going to happen next.

Breakfast– Whole grain oatmeal with raspberries.

Lunch– Scrambled eggs with cheese roll-ups using flat bread, cucumbers/peppers, and grapes.

PM snack– Popcorn and plums.

Wee Sprouts– Green beans and peppers.

Have a great evening!
