Butterflies & Bullfrogs

The school namesake, Butterflies & Bullfrogs was our theme this week.  I chose this name for the preschool because of the great changes that children go through during these precious preschool years.  They seem to mirror the metamorphosis that butterflies and frogs go through. It is a great reminder of how we need to treasure the stage our children are in and look forward to great changes ahead.

 Hunting for butterflies that they hid for each other (plastic ones).
 B is for Balloon!
 We had a lot of fun with the red balloons that Kara brought in her secret sack.
 The children did an excellent job of retelling the story of The Very Hungry Caterpillar.
 Working hard making butterflies.
 Cute Kara during art time.
 Four little caterpillars all wrapped up in their cocoons waiting to emerge as beautiful butterflies.
 They all earned stickers for cleaning up so well at the end of the day.
 We did lots of hopping on frog day.  The children hopped from numbered lily pads then created some of their own to jump from.
 Looking for frogs.  We were not successful.
 A gracious neighbor shared some fish food with us and we got to feed the fish and turtles in the pond.  Here the children are watching the food get gobbled up.
