The Honeybees are still enjoying The Acorn Bakery in the Dramatic Play Room. They are having so much fun! They took turns cooking, rolling the dough, making muffins and using cookie cutters. The templates are still very popular at the writing station. The children enjoyed using colored pencils. There was a lot of cooperative play building structures, with block play, Potato Heads and puzzles. Lots of reading is happening in the loft. Art is always a Honeybee favorite. They were excited to help decorate the classrooms for summer with golf ball art. We made rolling pin art and pool noodle art. The Honeybees can launch and catch a bean bag with the launchers in the Motor Room. In small group, we loved tasting and graphing different kinds of bread.
Happy Birthday to our Honeybees: Swarit (4/27), Oliver (5/2) and Cal (5/14). Congratulations!
Monday, May 16th is Water Day for the Honeybees. Please send your child to school wearing an "old" bathing suit, old t-shirt and waterproof shoes. Please send two towels (labeled with their name.) We'll save one of the towels for them to sit on in the car. Please have your child dressed and lathered up with sunscreen at drop-off for a day of fun. Part of the day will be outside on the playground doing fun activities.
Just a reminder: For safety, tennis shoes work best for the playground. Also, please make sure your child's school tag is in your window. This makes pick up and drop off more efficient. Pick up time is 11:30am. Thank you for being punctual.

The Honeybees enjoyed painting with kitchen utensils and golf balls in art. The Acorn Bakery was filled with lots of joy and laughter as the Honeybees would make bread and cookies for their friends. The Honeybees loved launching the bean bags high up in the air by stomping on a launcher board.

The Honeybees enjoyed The Acorn's Aloha Kitchen in the Dramatic Play Room. They had fun cooking all things Hawaiian. They took turns cooking and eating the different kinds of yummy foods. The sea life templates are being used at the writing station. The children enjoyed using all the writing tools. The Magna-Tiles in the Manipulative Room, are always an Acorn favorite. There was a lot of cooperative play building their magnificent structures. Lots of reading is happening in the loft. They liked putting puzzles together, the wooden parquetry patterns, and the well-liked Potato Heads. Art is always a Honeybee favorite. They are excited to see what's going on in the Art Room. We painted with watercolors, enjoyed Sea Animal Printing and Ocean Marble Art. The Honeybees can bounce to new heights in the Motor Room using the Bouncy Ball. They always have a Blast!
We are so excited to see the chicks! We can't believe how many we have. At last count, we have 34 chicks in the school. Most of them are in the brooder, by the office. At times, the chicks are on the porch.
On Wednesday, we will have Spanish with Miss Mary and Music with Miss Ruth.
We are so excited that our Mother's Day here! It's Monday, May 2nd at 10:30am. It's important for your Honeybee to have special time just with mom so please plan to make other arrangements for siblings. During our Mother's Day celebration, adults will be allowed in the building. Masks will be required to enter the building but are optional when outside.
