Watercolor

Today on our ABC countdown was W day, so that was water and walk day. Well, the weather did not cooperate so we could go on our planned walk to DQ, so we decided to something fun with water. We watercolored on a very large scale! We just laid out paper in the hallway and set them to work! they had a blast and it turned out super cute!

Butterflies

Well it has happend!! All 6 of our caterpillars have hatched out into painted lady butterflies!! We gave them a bowl of sugar water so that they had something to eat. We are hoping to let them go on Friday as long as the weather stays nice!

Insects

Our last unit of the year is Insects! We got to start out this unit with a very special project, caterpillars! In the mail received a very special container that contained 6 caterpillars. To be honest, I am completed disgusted by this stuff, so I am very thankful I have Gina here to help me out! Within about a week all 6 caterpillars had built their cocoons. At that time, we got to transfer them from the jar, to the butterfly cage. Hopefully within another week or so they will hatch out!

We also used pattern blocks to create our own insects. They turned out so cute!

Grass Heads

During our unit on plants, each child got to plant a grass head, and boy have they grown!! Look at how long our hair has gotten!

Jamison also brought in a root farm for us to plant as a class. We have planted onions, carrots, and radishes. We have sprouts from all three so far, but the radishes are growing like crazy!
