Every week I find myself smiling as I listen to these children talking to each other. They have become friends and truly care about each other. Here they are waiting in line to wash up after our project.

The boys are reading a book while they wait for Katie to finish washing her hands.

We talked about spring weather today. The kids made paperplate umbrellas and marched around the room chanting "It's raining, it's raining, oh me, oh my, but my umbrella will keep me dry!"

We made flowers from cupcake liners and popsicle sticks. They added a sun, rain, and grass.......because we all know that those are the things flowers need to grow!

Today we read a book about opposites and looked at pictures of opposites. Then they learned the "Opposites Cheer".......

Hello Everybody.....Come on over here.....we are going to say the opposites cheer.....I'll say "hot" ......you say "cold".......Hot......Cold......Hot ......Cold! I would point to the children when it was their turn to shout out their word! Try it at home!

I went to an Early Childhood conference at UW-Platteville this past weekend. I heard a couple of wonderful speakers. One guy who spoke was Stuart Stotts. He is a children's song writer from Madison. He talked about music in the lives of children and the LACK of music in many homes. It was very interesting. I bought his CD and sang several songs with the kiddos today. It might take a couple of weeks but your child should be coming home with some new songs soon! There are FIVE Wednesdays this month so we should have plenty of time to learn some fun new songs!

Happy Day! See you next week!
