Caterpillars & Butterflies

This week our theme was ‘Butterflies & Caterpillars’.  The children made a patterned caterpillar, created a butterfly book, completed a butterfly’s life cycle and painted a caterpillar and butterfly.  We also went to visit the Kindergarten classrooms in preparation for next year.

Next week our theme will be ‘Bugs & Frogs’.  (Remember there is no school on Monday due to Memorial Day).  On Wednesday & Thursday we will take a hike in the school forest and go on a bug hunt (weather permitting) so please dress your child for a hike in the woods.  The children will be making a frog, a paint blot bug and playing a bug # matching game.
