BUDDIES~
We got together with our 2nd grade buddies today and did a nature scavenger hunt.  We also enjoyed some time together on the playground!


FREE CHOICE~
Sophia and Will build with Magnatiles in the Construction Zone.
 
 We have transformed out Dramatic Play Station into a Butterfly Garden!



 During Free Choice, children put together 8 photos depicting the life cycle of a butterfly into the correct sequential order.



 LIFE CYCLE OF A BUTTERFLY~
Today we read the story, "Where Butterflies Grow".  We learned many facts, including that butterflies taste with their feet!  Following the story, we brainstormed what we could make for our Dramatic Play Station to look more like a Butterfly Garden.   
 Some children made a chrysalis and hung them on the "branches" of the "tree".

 Some children made caterpillar eggs on a green leaf to add to our Butterfly Garden.
 Some children made caterpillars for our Butterfly Garden.
