Mother's Day Vases by Erin R.'s Class
For Mother’s Day we made flower vases. We were just ending a unit on recycling, so what better way to make bases, than out of recyclables. This was a multi-step project. We first had to get messing with some glue and papier-mâché 2 litter plastic bottles. After letting them dry we went back and painted them. We then cut the tops off and inserted a flower. We made the flowers out of tissue paper and pipe cleaners. Everyone also decorated the gift bag the vases went into. All in all it was a lot of hard work, but it was so great to see the end result!
Great Job Kindergarten!
Guess whose class all got 100% on their spelling tests today! That’s right Ms. Sally’s Kindergarten Class did!!!

Celebrating Snakes, Snails, and Purple in the Middle Todddler Room
Snakes, snails and the color purple! An interesting combination and the amazing children in the Middle Toddler Class have made it work. We’ve moved like snails and snakes, we’ve done snake and snail artwork, we had a special purple objects box, and we even had a little purple party! It has been a very fun week.
We have had a great time making lots of different artwork this week. We made some purple paintings with a toy snake as our brush, we used our crayons to color some snails that we then attached ribbon to so that we could pull them around at a “snail’s pace”, and we really loved using our “Do A Dot” purple paint to make some awesome purple polka dot pictures. On Friday we had a great time getting out our big box of purple objects. We shook up our big covered box and everyone was so excited when we dumped it out and found purple balls and bead blocks! Since we were so happy and having so much fun with our purple objects we decided to add some purple plates and cups and we made it into a purple party!

Making Predictions in Kindergarten
Kindergarten worked on their math skills this week! We made predictions on how many raisins were in a box and then counted how many there really were. Check out our graph to see just how many raisins we had!
