Chicken, Chickens everywhere!
The preschoolers were so excited to have our special visitors join our classroom last week! We have many eggs with baby chicks or ducklings just waiting to hatch! We have been waiting so patiently to see when they will pop out and say hi! Over the weekend two baby chicks came along and just today before snack another one popped out! :) We were so excited and couldn't believe that we got to see the complete hatching of our latest chick! Stay tuned for names!











Also, last week we made some beautiful spring artwork to decorate our classroom as well as our bulletin board with. We made flowers and painted some bright and cheery spring pictures with glitter paint. We are hopeful for flowers and warmer days soon!








Also, on Friday of last week Kyle's grandpa brought us in a special treat of some yummy maple syrup that he made with Kyle. We made some pancakes to top off the special occasion! Yum!

Southworth Park We've taken advantage of the beautiful weather that we've had over the past couple of Tuesdays and have hiked to Southworth Park for fun and adventures.  Ms. Beth, our outdoor educator, has built a fire with the kids, and we've made popcorn and hot chocolate. The kids have enjoyed digging in the dirt, finding worms, building fairy houses, playing tag and so much more.  It's always enjoyable to read books and eat snack up there too.
