Happy Easter!

We spent the week celebrating all things Spring and the Easter Bunny last week!  We read The Easter Egg by Jan Brett (one of my most favorite Easter Bunny stories), and created some prize winning eggs of our own!  

Then we got together with our reading buddies and spent some time looking for eggs!  Our egg hunt was more of a scavenger hunt, and our buddies were a big help!  They helped keep us organized and helped us make sure we had all the eggs we needed!  Thanks, buddies! 

 

 

Then we finished off the week with Easter egg painting, bunny making with shapes, and Easter s'mores!  You haven't had a s'more until you've had one with a peep inside!!  (Sorry no pictures!!  We were all pretty much covered in melted peeps from our elbows to our ears! )

That Sneaky Leprechaun!

St. Patrick's Day was filled with fun, leprechaun traps, and big messes from a VERY sneaky leprechaun!  We don't know much about him, but we do know that he LOVES Ms. Mary Ann!  

 

 

Maybe we will catch him next year! 

We also had fun measuring leprechauns and eating some magical leprechaun pie--not everyone was a fan!

 

  

And...while it wasn't quite fitting with our St. Patrick's Day theme, we had a SUPER cool visit from the folks--and a few animals, too--at the Georgia Aquarium.  We got to see a chocolate chip sea star, a sea urchin, a hermit crab, and a sea cucumber!  Children got to explore the animals close up, and we even got to touch the sea star!  

 

 

 

This and That...

We have been CRAZY busy in Kindergarten the past few weeks--the kind of busy where you forget you are supposed to be camera man!  Here are a few highlights--sorry! 

We finished up our Mo Willems author study by reading Today I Will Fly! and making Piggie fly!!  (When we draw Piggie on a piece of paper that we then use to make a paper airplane!)

We participated in a school wide STEAM challenge connected to the book Rosie Revere, Engineer and created flying machines just like Rosie--our materials were just a little different!  See if you can improve your flying machine at home this weekend! 

 

We also had lots of Dr. Seuss fun!  There were books and paint and cats and and people houses and green eggs and ham...

 

And yesterday we had a chance to participate in our first ever Mustang Olympics!  There were tons of great activities, and we had a blast!  Everyone participated in seven Olympic worthy activities in about 50 minutes--we some tired kiddos on our hands!
