The ride home...about a 12 minute bus ride.....

A good time was had by all!  
The zoo is undergoing some renovations, and will have some wonderful changes to check out this summer!  I encourage all of you to pack a picnic and take your families to the zoo this summer!  Maybe I'll see you there!

Let's Go Camping

We opened up a new centre today...."Let's Go Camping!"

We came up with a few ideas of things you can do when you go camping... and then tried out some of those things in our centre.

  Cooking wieners and roasting marshmellows over the campfire.. and don't forget your sunglasses to protect your eyes from the sun!

     Checking out the bugs... counting them... sorting them....

   Reading/relaxing in the tent

     Fishing!   (using our motor skills to catch the fish!)

We have also been learning about helpers in our community!

  This chef "whipped" up some soup!

   "At your service!"

  This veterinarian had lots of sick pets to care for!

  Playing with a beach ball (catching and throwing are great gross motor skills).  And as an added activity, you had to read one of the words that your hand landed on!

     Sharing time today

There Was an Old Lady, who swallowed a ….. & Humpty Dumpty

Last week we learned the story of the lady who for some reason swallowed so many animals and bugs. Fiction, of course! But fun to read and sing. We wanted to show our version of an "old lady swallowing a _____" pictures. 

Today we learned the rhyme of Humpty Dumpty. We did some critical thinking as we asked ourselves several questions. For example….

- How did Humpty Dumpty get up on the wall?

- Why did he want to be up on the wall?

- How do you think he felt up there?

- What made him fall off?

- What would the king say when his men came back without putting Humpty back together again?

  We even did a little experiment with Humpty and his brother egg.......and found out that one broke open and the yolk fell out ....and the other egg got some cracks when it fell - but that was about it! Hmmmm......wonder why?  That led to more discussion.

Have an "EGGCellent" week.

It's Friday!!

   Guess who??

Thank you to Tayanna and her mom for bringing in some birthday cupcakes to share with everyone today!!

  Everyone was excited to share a photo today
