Happy Weds

MORNING WORK

Cameron chose

Fairy Garden first

We are also painting a big banner

for a special project(IT IS A SURPRISE)

Tangram Butterfly

We discovered that none of the tangrams

we have actually fit the butterfly

so yesterday we traced the shapes and 

this morning I cut out foam/rubber

pieces so the kids could make the 

butterfly

Charlie chose to be our botanist

LOTS of friends using the

Fairy Garden

Wyatt and I played 

Roll and Cover

we both made patterns

Then Mason wanted to play

So Mason and Wyatt

played together...each making a pattern

with the pom-poms!!

Below is a list of questions the children

came up with that they want to ask

PINE YARD FUN

STORY TIME

Such a cool book with beautiful illustrations

Colton was our weather helper

Jemma was our prayer leader

SNACK

Estimation Jar

Mason was our estimation jar person

We had to do it in 2 shifts

because some friends were planting

I made(like) a 10's square

to better show the children the numbers

and also to help show how close or far

away their estimations are....

So for example, when one friend estimated 9 and the answer 

was 10... I asked how many more should we

add to get to 10

PLANTING

Everyone got to plant

(just not able to get pictures of every group)

PLUS we had students from Lutheran High

helping us!!!

The class is SO excited!!

A few friends still needed to cut out their

"houses" so we can make our

own individual "greenhouses"today!

Next each child starting

working on our 

"greenhouses"

Very wet paper towel

and a lima bean..sealed in a baggie, then placed in the window

YAY!! we can't wait to see what happens

LUTHERN HIGH
