~QUIET QUILT DAY~
A note came home in your child's folder today about our Pre-K Quiet Quilt Day this Thursday.

~LIFE CYCLE OF A BUTTERFLY~
Today we read the book, Gotta Go!  Gotta Go! about a caterpillar instinctively knowing that she needs to go to Mexico but she doesn't know why or how she will get there.  The story continues as she progresses through the stages of her life until she becomes a butterfly.  She then flies to Mexico;  stays there for the Winter; and returns to the North to lay eggs on milkweed plants.   This led us into the discussion of migration.  We will continue to discuss the butterflies' migration to Mexico tomorrow in Spanish class when we will have a visitor from Mexico join us. 
~EARTH DAY~
Today we continued our Earth Day lesson and asked each child what he/she can to help the Earth.  We will display the Earths that the children created last Friday with their ideas on how to help on the bulletin board outside of our classroom.
~FREE CHOICE LEARNING~
Children retell the story of The Very Hungry Caterpillar on the flannel board.
Bella and Chi-Chi play with our new butterfly dominoes.
At the Alphabet Station, children can choose to create a small flip book about the butterfly life cycle.

 Tej builds with new blocks we added to the Construction Zone.


Children wrapped their caterpillars into a chrysalis today and hung them in the classroom.  We are eagerly waiting to see what happens!




~SPECIAL FRIENDS DAY~
Today we assigned parts and began practicing for a special presentation we are doing for our guests on Special Friends Day.




~EXTENDED DAY PRE-K~
Today was a cooking day and we made matzo ball soup!
