The month of April...

During the month of April, we read and talked about caterpillars, butterflies,insects, and Spring. We read, "The Very Hungry Caterpillar" by Eric Carle. We continued counting, sequencing, and used our artwork for the lesson plans. Coincidentally, Ms. Beth (our own Dr. Doolittle) found a caterpillar on the playground. We brought it in for the children to have a closer look! They loved watching it up close! We ended the month with Earth Day, where we made a globe with our hands, talked about God's creation of the Earth, and made green & blue playdoh balls shaped like the Earth. The children also passed around a globe. Many of them did not know what this was, or that this is where we live. They had fun on Earth Day!
We also counted "5 Little Frogs", made some beautiful umbrellas for our classroom, and enjoyed learning our Music/Songs for Song fest. It was a busy, busy, month and we had lots of fun. Enjoy the pictures to follow!
