Mother's Day

Today was an exciting day in our classroom.  We finally checked on our chrysalises and guess what?  A butterfly emerged from each and every one. Yeah!!  When the children opened their chrysalises they found their caterpillar.  The caterpillar had wings that included grapes and crackers for them to eat as a treat.  The children loved having fresh fruit for a change.

I can't tell you too much about centers today because we were working on our Mother's Day gifts, which are a secret!  The children did listen to the story Does a Kangaroo Have a Mother Too?  by Eric Carle.  We also sang the MOMMY Song:
I love my mommy,
She's the best,
My mommy is a great one,
M-o-m-m-y
M-o-m-m-y
M-o-m-m-y
And mommy is her name-o

With Miss Sue today the children played letter Bingo.  They listed to a word on a CD and then determined its beginning sound.  They then found the letter on their game board.  What was nice about this activity is that it moved quickly, which helped us think fast on our feet.  This game has two versions, one that works on beginning sounds of word,s and one that works on letter identification.  We will use both versions.
