Earth Day and Birthday Celebrations! (April 21-25)

MONDAY:   Dom was on Monday, so Miss Liz stepped in. Dom's Group introduced the letter "Oo"! Miss Liz had the group name words that start with the letter, then they made OWLS, using newspaper, beads for the eyes, and construction paper! It was a big hit!
Lizzies Group worked on the letters "Ww and Ll".
Kinder Blossom worked on the letter "Ll" practicing writing their letters and coming up with a list of words that start with "Ll"!

TUESDAY:
EARTH DAY CELEBRATION!!! We started the morning outside checking the gardens and welcoming friends! We made a community fruit salad for our morning picnic. It was a huge hit, and all friends enjoyed the different kinds of fruit they got in their cup!
Instead of Montessori and Group Work, we enjoyed the outdoors with earth day related activities including an art project, that involved blue and green food coloring, droppers and paper towels. They each got to make their "Earth", by squirting colored water on the towel and watching it spread, choosing where they wanted their "land" and "water"!

Yoga this week was great, as we mixed it up a bit, and had a combined yoga class which is both groups together with Miss Vanessa! We all stretched out our feet and brought them together in the middle creating a sort of "flower", when Miss Vanessa said it was time, we "Blossomed" out together, all stretching our arms up in the air! We sang our Namaste song,

WEDNESDAY:
Dom's Group today worked with shaving cream outside on the deck. We smeared it on the table and practiced writing our letter "Oo" in the shaving cream! They loved it so much, and enjoyed the sensory experience of the entire lesson!
Lizzies Group worked on their journals at the table, while Kinder Blossom worked on Montessori works.

Show N Tell in Groups was a great success! Friends were excited to share and were able to view their friends belongings.

Spanish with Miss Daphne was in the afternoon. We practiced our routine songs, then Miss Daphne passed out these cool twirly straws with a ball, so when you blow it softly the ball floats up. She showed our friends, then they took turns Practicing blowing their small ball with their straw. All the friends were thankful and practiced using it before heading outside! :)

 THURSDAY:
Today Dom's Group finished up the letter "Oo", with a art project were we made "Ostriches", by making hand prints then using a marker to draw their eyes and legs.
Lizzies group finished up letters "Ww" and "Ll", going through their letter boxes, while Kinder Blossom played a math game before he



Decorated a Get Well/Birthday Card for Wren! Practiced Spanish

FRIDAY:

Dance Party/Face Painting Friday, while also celebrating Noahs 3rd Birthday! :) Friends got to choose what they wanted painted on their face, Colette was a kitty, Miya a princess, Tristan and Elliot wanted Ninja Turtle Mask in Blue, while Noah was a Pirate! It was a huge success and everyone was so happy with their face paint!

Mr Mike joined us for a yummy cooking project, where we got to pick and smell our own cilantro, squeeze our lemon, on top of some delicious brown couscous! They mixed it all up and tried it! Most plates were cleaned off by the kiddos, they enjoyed it so much! After we passed out Pirate Booty and Organic juice pouches, and sang Happy Birthday to Noah and Wren (whose birthday was the day before!)  We cleaned up, got shoes on, and headed out for some more face painting for the after noon!

Much Love
