Awesome April!

We had a great time this April celebrating Easter, talking about bunnies, birds, spring, earth day, and ocean life, and going on a field trip to gymnastics!! Our kids are so creative and are learning so fast that everyday is super exciting and completely different than the days before. Here are some of our favorite things from this month!

The kids LOVED the ocean theme! We had an awesome reaction to everything from the kids. Shaela really like playing in the sand sensory bin!

We played a game called Under the Ocean where the kids had to dive into the ocean (under a sheet) and pull something out and figure out if it belongs in the ocean or not. Sebastian decided that a marker doesn't belong in the ocean!

Dive in deep!

Shaela found a dolphin! Those DO belong in the ocean!

Vivianne making a face for her jellyfish.

The kids LOVED making their jellyfish float around the classroom. We also watched a video about jellyfish and they were fascinated. 

We visited the other class during ocean week and Miss Amy read us a really good story and we helped count the fish!
 
Ava making an under the sea picture! It was fun deciding which animals should be in our ocean and then gluing sand on!

Aven with the fish she made for snack!
 
The kids had a blast with the whales in blue jello. We almost had to pull some away when their family came to get them.

Miss Jennifer playing a fun guessing game with the kids. I bet the answer is a dolphin!

Lily coloring her bunny ears so we could Hop for muscular dystrophy.

After making their ears the kids watched a short video which told a story then explained muscular dystrophy on their level.

We then hopped!

Kyla making a puffy paint bunny! So fluffy!

Recycling toss on Earth day!

Jada sorting between garbage and recycling! The kids were awesome at this!
 
Zach got some puffy paint on his hands! This feels so weird!
 
We also talked about what we can do to help the earth! The kids even made a promise to help.
 
We're so glad our field trip to gymnastics finally happened!! The kids had a blast. Hold on tight! 

Ava's little brother Thomas swinging like a monkey!

Cool down time!
 
Stretch it out!

The kids loved getting a sticker! They were very creative as to where they put them!

Lily's went on her shirt! Such big smiles!

Dylan put his on his foot!

For our first spring day we were stuck inside but we made the best of it! We made some really cute paper towel roll chicks.

We played in the dirt with bugs!


And stretchy worms!
 
And even made our own sidewalk!!
This was such a fun way to end the day!!
