Today we read Baby Bird's First Nest  and then did the "Hokey Pokey." We stacked and built with Tree blocks, did a color matching activity with feathers, and drew with chalk on black paper. We had a great week! Have a lovely weekend!

Today we danced to "Rockin Robin" and read a non-fiction book called Robins. We went on a nature walk to collect dandelions and then we sorted them by yellow and white flowers. The toddlers enjoyed blowing the seeds heads off of the white dandelions! We also used window markers on the mirrors in the classroom. It was a fantastic day for us toddler roomies! :)

Today we sang "The Tree Song" waving our arm like trees in the spring breeze. We read Five Little Ducks. We added feathers to contact paper birds. We laced cheerios on pipe cleaner. We also explored feathers in the sensory table, tossing them up and watching them float down. We also blew bubbles and popped bubbles. We had a wonderful day!

 Today we are celebrating Earth Day. We sang "Reduce, Reuse, Recycle" and read Ten Birds. We finger/hand painted the Earth and used paint dobbers on coffee filters to make the Earth. We reused newspapers by turning them in to balls then tossing them in the basketball hoop. We also made a recycled collage.

 

This week we are learning about Trees and Birds. We sang "Where The Green Grass Grows" and read Welcome Spring. We used stamps of birds and trees. We explored the feeling of with lotion on wax paper. We crawled through the caterpillar tunnel. We also spent part of the day in the dramatic play center trying out all the costumes. We had a great day!

We had a great day in the toddler room!

We used markers to decorate hard boiled egg, hunted for eggs outside, and explored eggs in the sand table.
