Letter Mm and Black Light Party

Welcome back everyone!  First thing this morning we had a surprise waiting in our classroom, 2 new butterflies!!  Over the weekend the 2 cocoons we have had in our classroom hatched!  One of the butterflies flew off immediately but the other stuck around long enough so all of our friends could look at him.  Leina decided we should name him Shining after the Shining Stars!  What a great Idea Leina!

During snack this morning we went through the Mm box.  There sure are a lot of things that start with the letter Mm, our box if packed full of materials from our classroom.  After we all washed our bowls we headed to the carpet to do the Secret Sack that Rhys brought back.  Inside the sack were two books.  Good job Rhys!  We then began Show and Tell.  A lot of our friends brought in shells that they gathered on their trips to the beach.  Thanks for sharing with us everyone!

We then had a special surprise for the Shining Stars.  We set black lights up in our classroom!  We put down all the shades and turned off the lights to have a Yo Gabba Gabba dance party with the black lights!  We had so much fun looking at everything glowing in the light!  Our art on the walls is especially cool to look at in the black lights. 

Since so m any of our friends have gone to the beach recently we told stories of our beach adventures!  You can read the stories of our friends on the dry erase board outside our classroom.

This afternoon after our friends woke up from nap we played in centers until it was time for yoga.

What an awesome start to what is going to be another amazing week here at the Sprout!
