The ladybugs 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. Magnificent structures were built using Magna-Tiles in the Manipulative Room. Lots of cooperative Ladybug play. They enjoyed putting puzzles together, playing with the popular Potato Heads, block play and reading books in the loft. In art, the Ladybugs painted using kitchen utensils and made incredible art using marbles. In the Motor Room, the launchers were a big hit. The Ladybugs can launch a bean bag to new heights. In small group, we played ABC Mystery Box and Nutrition Lotto.
Happy Birthday to our Ladybug: Cohen (5/30.) Congratulations on turning 4!

Class: 2 AM TTh- Ladybugs
Mother's Day was a huge success. The children had so much fun sharing their activities with their Moms. We had fun singing "Skidamarink" and dancing to The Mac Chicken medley with our moms. Thanks to our special guests for coming.
The Ladybugs enjoyed painting with kitchen utensils and golf balls in art. The Acorn Bakery was filled with lots of joy and laughter as the Ladybugs would make bread and cookies for their friends. The Ladybugs loved launching the bean bags high up in the air by stomping on a launcher board. In small group, we are learning our ABC's with the ABC mystery box and healthy eating with nutrition bingo, featuring each of our five food groups: milk group, vegetable food group, fruit food group, grains food group, and protein food group.

Class: 2 AM TTH - The Ladybugs
The Ladybugs 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 food. They loved wearing Leis, grass skirts, shell necklaces and goggles. Always working on their fine motor skills, they used crayons, paper and templates. Magnificent structures were built using Magna-Tiles in the Manipulative Room. They enjoyed putting puzzles together, making shark patterns, playing with The Potato Heads and reading about volcanoes and vacations in the loft, too. In art, the Ladybugs liked painting with watercolors and making Ocean Marble Art. In the Motor Room, the Ladybugs bounced to new heights on the Bouncy Balls. They always have a Blast!
We were so delighted to see the baby chicks! We can't believe how many we have. At last count, we had 34 chick school wide. They are in the brooder, by the office. At times, the chicks are on the porch.
We are so excited that our Mother's Day is here! It's Thursday, May 5th at 10:30am. It's important for your Ladybug to have special time 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.
Just a reminder: For safety, tennis shoes work best on the playground. Also, please make sure your child's school tag is in your window. This makes both drop off and pick up more efficient. Pick up time is 11:30am. Thank you for being punctual.
