Fabulous Friday!

We are learning about insect homes and making beehives today. We are also exploring with viewmasters, using playdough, ten frames and big dice, blocks and a butterfly life cycle puzzle.
We also have some time to get some exercise in the gym.

Still no movement in the incubator - maybe this weekend?

Terrific Thursday

We started our day with a relaxing nature walk, looking for birds, insects, buds and flowers.  We are using viewmasters to look at different insects and arachnids, counting with dice and ten frames, using playdough and making cards for Moms. We are working on an insect mural and we have a new butterfly life cycle puzzle to make. We have a new favourite insect survey. Still no sign of chicks....

Our friend, Miss Lindsay sent us some traditional clothing and a mortar and pestle from Bolivia. Here are some pictures:

The dress is a <tipoy> Here is the info from Miss Lindsay:

There is a tipoy, a traditional dress that indigenous women wear here in Santa Cruz. On the tipoy there is a painting of a woman using a tacu. It's like a giant mortar and pestle that they use to crush grains, plantains and cassava.

Mini version of the tacu - mortar and pestle.

Thank you Miss Lindsay! We love hearing about your adventures in Bolivia!

And just when we thought the day couldn't get better, our reading buddies came over!

Misty Wednesday

We are talking about insects these days. This morning, we read a book about ants, des fourmis. We are using our fine motor skills with playdough, writing words on white boards and counting dots on ladybugs. We are writing a lot in the kitchen, making lists and getting our eyes checked at the eye doctor.
