We went outside to enjoy the warm weather and got to play with some friends from Mrs. Knudsen's class. We think the groundhog was right about an early spring! Before we went in we released one of the monarch butterflies that emerged from its chrysalis this morning. We're glad it was warm enough for the flowers to be open so it could eat.
We came back in and started centers right away. At Miss Kathleen's center we read a Clifford magazine about Valentine's Day. We learned that "I ♥ you" says "I love you" and practiced reading left-to-right on some of the pictures. We also used our I-Spy eyes to find lots of objects and letters. At the rug center we had models of all of the stages of a monarch butterfly on our table to explore, our giant bricks to build with, and our dollhouse for dramatic play. Miss Paula helped us make our bags for our Valentine's party next week. They are beautiful!
We had a special sweet snack today--rainbow sherbet! We loved it! It was so quiet during snack time because we were all busy eating!
