Butterflies & Bullfrogs

Butterflies were fluttering all about on Tuesday. The children learned about the life cycle of a butterfly and were great at acting it out (sorry I didn't get any pictures but trust me they were the cutest little caterpillars ever). We also reviewed letter a (allie alligator) and learned about our b friend, bubba bear.


Porsche immediately claimed the butterfly wings and spent a lot of the day flying about.

Sierra loves singing and the finger play/flannel board song about five adventurous butterflies was great fun for her.
Porsche very meticulously crafted her butterfly to fit into it's cocoon.
And onto Thursday and our little bullfrogs!



Searching the pond for bullfrogs. No luck finding frogs but we did see lots of fish.


The children have been fabulous at clean up time. I'm so impressed also with how well they share the toys and get along with one another.


Boston has been waiting so patiently to play all the hand bells. He and Kyler were having so much fun making loud music. This is the only shot I got of them that wasn't blurry by all their dancing.

Kyler working hard at fine tuning his fine motor skills and expressing his creativity.
Boston so happy with his swamp painting

They were all so quiet and focused while painting their "pond pictures". When they bring the (now all dried) pictures home the best thing to say is, "Tell me about your pictures." You may discover your little one has put some tremendous thought into that one creation.
Your children have been magnificent! It is truly a privilege to teach them and spend time with them each week.
