Guess who hops wherever he goes?
Wiggle, wiggle, goes his nose,
His ears are pink, his tail is funny,
Can you guess, it’s a _______?
This week has brought us a kaleidoscope of the weather. We had heavy showers, cold mornings, and warm afternoons. Thank you to all the parents for making sure to dress your child in layers so they can easily adjust to all these weather conditions.
The theme of the week all about bunnies! We were getting into full swing preparing for the fun of the weekend and the week ahead too. Try the riddle at the start of this letter with your child/ren at home. We also shared a new song about a bunny and a story about a bunny who was eating a farmer’s garden vegetables called “Bunny and a Garden”. The story and song will be added to our Google Classroom during our Spring Break.
On Monday, we went on our regular visit to an animal farm. On our way, we found a large pile of mulch. Of course, we stopped to play there - climbing, rearranging, and running around this pile. We were lucky to find it when we did as on our next visit, the pile was gone! We also fed our donkeys and our new goats. The goats are getting more accustomed to us each visit. They are not shying away from the students. Some of the class even managed to catch our chickens and hold them in their lap. That is always a fun activity!
On Wednesday, we had an unusual day as we spent a full day indoors. The rain was coming down so fast that we didn’t find a moment to poke our noses outside. We played old favorites like “Ring Around the Rosie”. We took care of some maintenance work such as watering the plants in our room. We spent the rest of the time doing crafts and spending ample time in free play. Our auction class project is wet felting little sheep. We took the opportunity of time inside to finish this project the same day. You will have an opportunity to see it if you participate at our auction on April 16th. It is so cute!
On Friday, we started the day indoors making little pots from our eggshells with the wheatgrass. Once finished, we were able to go out for a nature walk. We found a few remaining puddles from Wednesday’s showers. The class sweetly gathered around the puddle to fish.
Enjoy your long holiday week and we look forward to seeing you back after good rest!
Kindly,
Ieva and Brittany
