Group Meeting:  The children were invited to look at the bean seeds that they planted in zip-lock bags last week.  Most of the seeds have begun to grow roots and a few have stems.

Story:  Our story for today was The Adventures of Gary and Harry, the Tale of Two Turtles by Lisa Matsumoto.  Gary and Harry are two turtles who live in the ocean.  They love the ocean life with their friends.  One day, they were looking for something for lunch.  Harry saw jelly fish.  He went to bite one, but it wasn't a jelly fish.  Ask your child to tell you what it was.  This is a good book for learning about pollution in the water ways.

Small Groups:  The activities for this week and the schedule for today are listed below. 
Activity #1 (Red Group) The children are "writing" book reviews on some of the Dr. Seuss books that we have read during the past three weeks.  They are doing this in their journals which will be coming home next week.
Activity #2 (Yellow Group) The children sorted colored Goldfish crackers into groups.  They counted the amount in each of the groups and the sum of all the groups together.
Activity #3  (Green Group) The children played Color and Shape Bingo using 3D shapes.

Large Group:  We finished watching "The Lorax" last week.  Today, we reviewed the story and answered questions as we compared the book to the movie.

Snacks:  The morning class had cheese sticks, Goldfish, and juice brought by Gus.  The afternoon had Chex-mix and juice provided by the preschool.  Queen Kennedy was sick today.
