Choice Time: We went outside for choice time.
Circle Time: We read the story, "Butterfly, Butterfly" by Petr Horacek. In the story, a girl named Lucy saw a beautiful butterfly. She played with it, and chased it all around the garden until it flew away. Lucy then went on a butterfly hunt. She saw many, many things and finally in the end, she saw the butterfly again. You can ask your children to name some of the things Lucy saw: earthworm, spider, green beetle, ladybugs, snail, caterpillars, dragonfly, and a bee.
Also, on Wednesday, we were able to see a Monarch butterfly that hatched out of it's cocoon. The butterfly belonged to the 4-year old class and they let it go on Wednesday. So, Thursday class, please show your children a picture of the Monarch below or go on a Monarch hunt with them. I can't guarantee I will have a real one to show them at school!
Snack Time: On Wednesday, Aubrey brought apples and milk. Thank you Aubrey! On Thursday, Gus brought bananas and chocolate milk. Thanks Gus!
Center Time: All of the centers were open and there was painting at the easels.
Below are two pictures. One is of the Monarch that emerged from the cocoon and was released on Wednesday. The other one is of the pop-up butterfly from our book.
