Group Meeting:  We are starting to build ice cream sundaes on our bulletin board.  Keep reading!

Story:  Our story for today was The Nuts: Sing and Dance in Your Polka Dot Pants by Eric Litwin.  The Nut Family is another of Eric Litwin's series of books.  In this story, Hazel Nut wants her family to join her in dancing in polka dot pants.  Her dad isn't paying attention, her mother is busy, and her brother is playing.  Who will dance with Hazel?  Ask your child to tell you.  We watched a video of Eric singing and dancing to the Polka Dot Dance song.  We also watched The Nuts:  Bedtime at the Nut House.

Small Group:  The children looked at a Let's Find Out Magazine about Spring weather.  We learned about the Spring weather sounds such as rain, thunder, and baby animals.


Large Group:  Because we talked about weather today, we did a little science experiment to mimic what happens when clouds become saturated with rain.  We filled clear pitchers with water and squirted a shaving cream cloud on top.  Then, I dropped colored water on the shaving cream and watched the color leak through the cloud to form "rain" into the pitcher below.  It was fun to watch the colors swirl and mix.  You can find this on Pinterest if you'd like to try it at home.

Snacks:  The morning class had muffins and juice brought by Topher.  The afternoon class had Goldfish and juice brought by Addison.  Thank you!

The field trip to the Fire Station is coming up on Monday!
