Swallowtails...

On Thursday our Mother Goose  (MGT) lesson was about Swallowtails...
The kids started their morning working on this letter matching activity from their literacy workbooks.  I LOVE these photos!  They really capture how much the kids enjoy these activities!








A letter N book from their literacy workbook...

Next, the kids made a framed work of art!  First, the kids colored with a black crayon...

Then they painted with watercolors!




Lastly, I framed each one of their works of art!  The kids were SO very PROUD!
MGT provided us with a new letter recognition game...


We ate butterflies for lunch!  I made bow-tie pasta with grilled chicken for lunch.  I provided the kids with a Basil Pesto Alfredo sauce on the side because kids always LOVE to dip!  I was so impressed with how many of the kids loved the new sauce!  Yay!
We also ate butterflies for snack!
Our books for the day...
It was a rainy day on Thursday.  Here are a few random photos I took of the kids:

Putting together our "Very Hungry Caterpillar" puzzle...
Our book box came!  THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH to all the parents who have supported!
Even though it was dark and gloomy outside, we were happy because....it made our light table shine even brighter inside! 



Priceless!
Still drawing her animals! :)
The kids have been LOVING their new train table!




Monarchs and Moths...

On Wednesday our Mother Goose (MGT) lesson was all about Monarchs and Moths...

Working from our workbooks...
MGT provided us with the following supplies to make a symmetrical butterfly streamer...
The kids painted one side of their butterfly, and then folded their paper in half to make their butterfly symmetrical!











I LOVE THIS! 
MGT provided us with new vocabulary words.  The kids wrote sentences and drew pictures using their vocabulary word cards!  It was a perfect setup up to motivate their writing skills!









Our books for the day...
A new recipe card!
Can you build a caterpillar?
