We had a silly, mixed-up day today because it was Bike Day!  First we did our morning work.  We had lots of cutting practice today, so check to see if there's a baggie full of scraps in your child's backpack!  We also used all of our mosaic tiles to fill up our design board.  It took a while, but we were proud of the result!  We also worked our puzzles and sorted our pompoms.

After we reviewed our bike safety rules, we collected our bikes and made our way to the front parking lot.  As you can see by the pictures below, we did a lot of bike riding!  We also had some good traffic helpers who held up our green for go while hiding our yellow and red so no one got confused about what to do!

We were hot and tired--and a little hungry--when we came in, so we had a little snack to get us through centers.  At our centers we used our fingerprints to make flowers on our April placemats; we read a magazine about Clifford; and we played on the rug with our puppets, legos, and office equipment.

Our last excitement on this silly day was a special birthday snack.  If you saw some blue icing on faces at carpool, it was from the delicious shark cupcakes that we ate!

We had some very busy centers today:  getting ready for Bike Day; making our April calendars, and keeping our office running smoothly!

It was a beautiful day on the playground.  We played with our friends and enjoyed the warm weather.  When we came in from outside we sang happy birthday to Alexandra and had some delicious cupcakes.  If our faces looked a little messy at carpool, it's because we enjoyed the icing so much!

We had some new things out at our morning work tables today--and some old things that we hadn't seen in a while.  We had a lot of fun working on our new baby duck puzzle; dressing all of our magnetic girls in princess costumes; looking at our Viewmaster; playing with our magnet board; counting and sorting cookies; and coloring!  It was a busy start to our day.

We had just as much fun at centers!   At our rug center, the most popular activity was playing office.  We used a couple of old keyboards/discarded laptops along with our phones to get lots of business accomplished.  (None of these items works in the traditional sense, but you would never have known it by the conversations going on.)  At Mrs. Hennessy's center we first turned our watercolor-dripped coffee filters into butterflies, then painted the table with shaving cream!   We worked at our writing center with Miss Kathleen and you can tell by the picture that we were hard at work!
