Greetings Turtle Families,

Thank you to all our parent (and grandparent) volunteers that helped with our auction project last week. The children really loved having your help in class. I am looking forward to seeing some more of you this week. If you want to help, but have not signed up yet, click here.

We continued our story about the postman. On Monday and Tuesday, the children watched a puppet show of the story and on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday, the children performed a play. They enjoy getting their parts and props and then acting the story out. As the year continues, we will have more plays. We also have some acting in our early spring circle. We have learned a new rhyme about a brown bulb and each day I choose a new child to play with the bulb during circle. I have included the words below.

On Friday, we celebrated Denver’s 5th birthday. His parents visited our class and shared fun memories from each year of Denver’s life. His classmates, teachers, and his parents shared a wish for the coming year. Happy Birthday, Denver!

Brown Bulb

A little brown bulb went to sleep in the ground.

In her/his little brown clothes

She/he slept very sound.

King winter roared and raged overhead.

But the little brown bulb never lifted her/his head.

There she/he slept the winter through,

So very quiet, like me and you.

Lady spring came tiptoeing over the leaves,

With finger to mouth as quiet as can be.

Little brown bulb she/he shook in her/his bed.

She/he tossed off her/his covers and she/he lifted her/his head.
