Inquiry

 Creating spinner with the gears .


Painting our hands to go with the poem.


Making train tracks.

Counting pegs.


Making a hopscotch and jumping.

Measuring our bodies with string. 
It is still work in progress..

Playing Trouble.


Playing with number mats

A tiny green grasshopper on a leaf.
Building structures and adding animals.


Collecting and counting rocks.
Writing in the sand with sticks.


Discussing the maple tree and wondering....
What is that yellow stuff on the bark?
A fun week so far. 
Have a good weekend.
Share the love!!!!

Fri. June 26 The Eency Weency Caterpillar Poem

The Eency Weency Caterpillar Poem

An eency weency caterpillar lays where it can't be seen,
In a leafy bush -lost in a sea of green.
An eency weency caterpillar hatches out one night,
and begins to eat and eat and eat every leaf in sight.
The eency weency caterpillar now has grown so big.
That it spins a chrysalis hanging from a twig.
Inside its chrysalis it will change as time goes by. 
And when it emerge ,it will be a butterfly.
The butterfly so beautiful flutters round for days.
Till she finds the perfect place for her eggs to lay.
Now the eency weency egg lies where it can't be seen
in a leafy bush lost in a sea of green.
