Puzzles, Symmetry, Creativity, and More!

What a terrific week!!!

We've loved observing our baby chick.  Now he's living on a farm.

Yay, teamwork!

We're learning about symmetry.
We painted half of a butterfly shape, folded it together,
and pressed the sides together.  The results were a
symmetrical butterfly!

We put all of the farm animals on top of the letters.

We worked with gears.

We matched shapes with tiny puzzles.

It's so much fun to scoop and pour.

 It's fun to make angels in the wood at the playground!


More butterfly painting!

Everyone found something fun to do on Fun Friday!

We love Creation Station!

Insects, Flowers, Grass, Puzzles, and More!

What a great start to our week! Check out what we've been up to!

We counted ladybugs on a leaf.

We all loved it!

We put together an insect puzzle.

We put together the alphabet train puzzle.

We cut strips of light and dark green paper to create grass.  We "planted" it in some "soil".

An awesome fence was built in the sand table for the farm animals.

More and more grass!

Cut, cut, cut!

The billy goats went over a low bridge.

The billy goats went over a high bridge.

It's so much fun to create with magnet blocks!

We created structures with Bristle Blocks.

We played with farm animals and blocks.

We're creating flowers.  We drew on coffee filters with markers.

Then we squirted the drawing to make the colors bleed.

Our baby chick is growing fast!

Those silly farm animals are still in the people house!

Uh-oh..the troll found his way in the house, too!

We worked on a construction site puzzle.

We drew faces with different expressions.

Alphabet puzzle completed!

Working with a friend to put the alphabet puzzle together.

"A letter E"

"A chair and the letter M"

There are so many books about insects in the Reading Center.

Look out!  Here comes the troll!

It's fun to have a snack in the home center.

This structure will keep that troll out!

Our beautiful flowers!  We cut the stems and leaves and glued the pieces together.

We love the playground!
