Spring is here and Easter is coming!
This week, we will be reading "The Best Easter Eggs Ever" by Jerry Smath. We are going to learn about decorating eggs, going on an egg hunt and even do an experiment with eggs and salt. You can even do this experiment at home and see if you get the same results we do at school! To see the experiment we are doing go to this link.

Next week we will be collecting your 10 filled easter eggs for the easter egg hunt on April 16th and 17th. We also need 2 parent volunteers for each class to be our Easter Bunnies and hide all the eggs out in the outdoor classroom. The first two parents who respond letting me know that they would like to help out will be given the job. So let me know quickly if you are interested. We will be doing the Easter Egg Hunt at the end of each class period.
This week we planted 2 grass snakes in our sensory table. We will be watering them and watching them grow here in the upcoming weeks. Hopefully they will look something like this... (Even though these are caterpillars)
Science is AMAZING!

After we conducted our experiment, we drew a picture of what we observed during the experiment. This was a great learning experience for the kids!
APRIL FOOL'S DAY
On Monday and Tuesday of this week we played a trick on the kids and you may have heard about it. We told the kids that we made some "brownies" for them and we would give them to them at snack time. The kids were so excited and were talking about it all day. When snack time came we brought them out some brown E's on a plate.
Some kids figured it out and others were not so amused. After getting their full reaction of what they thought of the trick, we brought them out some real brownies to enjoy. The expressions on their faces tell it all!
