Making Play Dough

Our children love playing with play dough.  We thought that they would enjoy the process of "making" thier own playdough from scratch.  We used this link to find our recipe........

 We used flour, water, food coloring, and salt. Their favorite part was mixing the flour and salt.

In the end, we all enjoyed playing with our "blue creation"!

Having Fun With Glitter

We were all so excited to use glitter for our Mother's Day Pictures............

We are so Thankful for our Homework Assignment!

Everyday Alexander and Jake sit down together and look at their books that their families put together for them.  The books have pictures of family members, pets, favorite toys, and other special things.

It is wonderful to see them show eachother the pages and say words about the pictures.

We are waiting to see the books from our other friends!  This is a project that is very dear to the children, it is wonderful to see their faces light up when they sit to look at the pictures of all of the people and things that they love.

Working in the Garden

Have you seen our garden?  We have a beautiful vegetable and butterfly garden in the playground, and even our little ones help take care of them!  Here are some pictures of the children preparing the garden with soil, and planting seeds.  They had so much fun......

"Look what I get to use!"

Our Own Agendas

Give us some boxes and containers and watch us go!

It is so fun to get inside the boxes!

"I, however, am not having the same luck she did!  I cannot fit in this box!"

That's okay though, we can still do other things with the box!

Like push them all over the room.............

It is fun to race!!!!!

"I don't have time for all this racing stuff, I need to finish collecting all of the balls in this room and get them in this container!"

"I know what you are talking about!  I have two types of bags and I need things to put in them!"

"The only thing I care about is getting all of these balls on the same side!  Who cares about boxes and containers!" ;0)

We have so many birthdays this month! We are having so much fun celebrating, and this Friday, one of the parents has arranged for some special visitors!



EJC Farms will come for one of our children's birthday parties, and they are bringing a petting zoo as well as a pony carousel!

The party will be from 2 - 4 so please make sure you sign the permission slip to allow your child to participate in petting and riding the animals.

They are located at the front computer and by your child's classroom.
