First week of a new session

We have some new faces at Funtime - Welcome!

We managed to squeeze in a ton of fun into this short week!

On Tuesday and Wednesday, we planted sweet pea and marigold seeds into small pots. With regular water and a little sunshine, the kids should soon see sprouts poking out of the top of the soil. The dragonfly class (MWF 9:30-12) worked on writing the letter W and the butterflies (T, TH 10:15-12:15) worked on letter recognition.

Thursday was gym day and the caterpillars (T, TH 9-10) had a great time playing duck duck goose and red light, green light! The butterflies ran out some energy and then we played a quick game of 4 corners. The butterflies worked on recognizing the letter Bb and had time to paint an earth for earth day. We squirted some green and blue paint onto the back of a paper plate, the kids turned it over onto the paper and spun the plate to mix the paint together. The effect was a green and blue circle that looked like the earth from space. What fun!

Friday was gym day for the dragonflies and they had fun running races with Ms. Sedeane! Man, they are fast little monkeys... They practiced writing the letter Xx and worked on number recognition. The dragonflies also made the earth from space pictures using the same technique.
