What a week!  We talked about all things that start with a C, K.  Pictured below Bobby drives some friends on vacation. He may have a future in vacation planning.

 

Below the Butterflies work together to complete a difficult puzzle.

Caterpillar C,K

The Caterpillars are getting to know each other and BVPS.  Our schedule is familiar to us all now, and I am hearing conversations using each other's names.  I am able to expand the time we spend together in the circle as attention spans lengthen, and we are playing games we know (matching) as well as learning new ones (Clothespin Colors).  We are emphasizing courtesy in speaking to each other and teachers, and appropriate sound levels for the classroom.

Playdough is a continuing favorite, by adding unusual items like small rocks, we expand the play.  All good for strengthening hand muscles, leading to printing and scissor control.

Isabella celebrated her 4th birthday with us Tuesday.

We chose colors and cut out our kites, then got to use the hole punch to put strings on.

The Butterflies are patiently waiting for instruction from Mrs. Schaefer. Look fast it only lasts a second.

Lyla completed a hard puzzle by herself.

We love trains

M Week was marvelous fun.  Picture below is Mikey celebrating our first class birthday

Thanks to the help of Melissa, Bobby's mom, the Butterflies painted outside on Friday.

The Caterpillars snack on pudding.  Can you guess the flavor?

  

Apple Week

Butterflies are ready for the apple taste test.  Yellow was the favorite.

Caterpillars make applesauce.

Butterflies have fun on the playground.
