BABY ANIMALS

Summer is fast approaching! I have been busy planning our field trips so I haven't added many blogs recently and I apologise! I also left my camera outside in all that wet weather and unfortunately, most of this past months pictures have been ruined.

The children have been busy learning about animal babies and their names. We learned and Sang Rock a bye baby and played a rocking game. You can see it on our youtube page. If you type in millisf videos or under Ovet the Rainbow Dayschool you will find all our uploads. I finally learned how to upload so many more will soon be added!! Again, if I do not have your email or we are not facebook friends please give me your email or friend me on face book please provide so I can send you direct links to this post and our videos when they are uploaded.

We will be tie-dying next Wednesday so please send you child to school in an outfit that can be ruined. Tie-dying can be messy. I will supply the tee-shirts. We will be using these shirts for our field trips. Your child will need to wear this shirt for every trip. No worries, if I have extras if it is forgotten one day.

If you haven't already, field trip money is due and parent signature for the first 3 field trips.

Baby Animals

We have had fun learning about all different baby animals and their unique animals. We have done many fun crafts and activities! Here are just a few!

We made neat fish snack holders and put gold fish crackers inside to learn that some mommy fish keep their babies safe in their mouths! Another favorite activity was we each made a monkey and we carried them on our backs and stomachs!! We pretended that they were our babies. We enjoyed dancing with our baby monkeys a lot. A favorite activity that we played was we each took turns being the mommy holding our babies in our mouth or pouch(pretend). They were actually puzzle pieces. When our friends hid their eyes we hid the pieces around the room. Everyone found one puzzle piece and we worked together to put the puzzle together. We learned team work success!!

Asked me what a Baby Kangaroo is called.

Make sure you remember to pass in summer registrations and save your field trip calendar!

Birds and Eggs

This week we learned the names of some birds and what they looked liked. We also got to touch some real nest! We took a field trip to PET CITY to view some real birds up close. While on our visit we got to pat a baby bunny!! We also got to see the many other animals and creatures there. We took a video of our BIRD FEAT BEAT dance and our this little birdie song. Some children were not here that day and we apologize for that. Reminder: Next Thursday is our Easter Egg hunt and Party. The Toddlers and 3's will have their hunt in the morning before nap. The 4's and up will have their hunt after nap time when the school kids get back. Please do not pick your child up before 4:00pm. Snack list will be posted on parent board.
