The Owl's didn't let a little rain ruin our day together! We had so much fun with a surprise visit from the Bug Lady, Music class, painting our own planets, blasting off in our own class rocket. We turned our kitchen around and transformed the space into a rocket complete with space chairs, headphones to hear Mission Control, and a control panel that kept everyone interested! Not too long into our morning we were able to attend a presentation from The Bug Lady. She brought a lovely display of books and taught us about pollinators. She told us some of the animals that help pollinate plants and flowers are bees, bats, hummingbirds, and butterflies. She demonstrated how the animals move pollen from one plant to another. She also brought a craft for us to do. We made our own butterflies to take home. We even attached a party noise maker to act as the butterfly's proboscis. The Bug Lady also sent us each home with a packet of wild flower seeds. Back in the classroom we were treated to an "out of this world" snack! The class loved it. We had what we called, "pepperoni planets", "Moon" Ritz Crackers, and star shaped cheese! During our art time we were busy designing our own planets. We also enjoyed some fine motor sticker work and play dough time! Once the rain started we were mesmerized at the window watching the rain pour off the roof. One little owl thought it looked like a waterfall. Hopefully the weather will improve for Friday because we are hoping to launch Alka-Seltzer rockets! It is sure to be an exciting day!

Why Blog?Here you will find little snippets of our days together. When my children were in preschool and would come home I would always ask, "So, what did you do today?". All they ever said was, "Played." That didn't tell me much. I hope this blog will be a place to share what we have done and help you ask more directed questions of your child. You will see first hand just what we do after you kiss your little one goodbye in the morning. It will also be a great place to visit and see just how much your child has grown and learned throughout the year. Archives
