Chrysalis and Mother's Day Tea :)

We had such a wonderful week!  We have continued to talk about the caterpillar life cycle.  Our dramatic play area is still a butterfly sanctuary.  Some friends like to pretend that they are beautiful butterflies in this area or that they are caterpillars in their chrysalis.  

We also made some butterflies out of coffee filters to hang in our Butterfly sanctuary

We have had a very exciting transformation happening with our caterpillars.  They have started to form their chrysalis :)

We also were very interested in bugs this week and decided to do some research on them.  We drew some pictures, made booklets and also watched a few short video clips. 

There has been a great deal of writing!!  Great work :)

We continued to talk about 3D shapes and made various structures using 3D shapes. 

E.S made a birthday hat and A.T made a butterfly net

We did a group activity where each student was given a 3D shape and they were to match it with four choices of "cube, pyramid, cone or sphere".  

R.D drew some 3D shapes on the blackboard :)

C.C and S.B made a castle using the 3D shape blocks

We have some smart cookies in the class who also knew what 2D shapes were and were pointing them out in the classroom. 

Sadly we had to say goodbye to our chickies this week. They had to go back to their farm.  We sure did have a great time looking at them :)

Friday was our Mother's Day Tea!!!  We are so happy that so many mothers, grandmothers, and aunts were able to attend :) 

We hope you all had a wonderful weekend!!!
