Rainbow Day!

We had a fun week last week! We learned all about rainbows. Tuesday was rainbow day. Everyone wore bright rainbow colors, we did a rainbow collage, and we even got to fingerpaint our favorite rainbow color.

On Thursday, we learned about mixing rainbow colors. We all had Sprite and got to choose two colored ice cubes (red, blue or yellow) and then we watched as our Sprite changed to purple, orange or green! It was lots of fun!

Happy Birthday!

We have celebrated two special birthdays so far in April. Here a some pictures of our newest 4 year old Bumblebees!

Registration will be open to the public beginning on March 17th, so return your papers and fee as soon as possible. Thanks!

Happy Golden Birthday!

On Tuesday we celebrated a Golden Birthday! 4 on March 4th! Happy Birthday! We also painted a letter S page and did a Shamrock crayon melt.
Thursday was yellow day! We painted yellow, made our collage, had our faces painted, and had library. Unfortunately, my camera was not working, so I don't have any pictures to share, but we had a great time!

Book It Beginner

This month we will begin our Book It Beginner program. Each child will have the opportunity to earn a Pizza Hut certificate in March and April. At school, your child will receive cut-outs. Please write the name of each book you and your child read together on the cut-out. Return the cut-outs to school. At the end of the month, your child will receive a certificate for participation. We will keep track of how many books our class had read. Our goal is 200 books for March. That is 10 books per child. Happy Reading!

Field Trip to LCC

Tuesday was cold, but we still had a lot of fun on our field trip to Lincoln Christian College. We celebrated a special birthday and had fruit smoothies in the Warehouse. After that, we went to the campus book store and post office to tour the mail room and mail our post cards. Next we went to the library and read books. We ended our trip at the Laughlin Center for some fun running and playing in the gym.

Valentine Party!

We had a great Valentine's Party! We ate donuts and grapes and drank chocolate milk. We passed out our Valentine's to each other. We also played parachute, ring toss, and bean bag toss. Thank you to everyone who brought snacks and helped with our party!
