All of our butterflies were out of the chrysalises on Monday, and we were very excited to be able to watch them.   If you would like to find out more information about the Painted Lady butterfly, please click on the butterfly.  Ask your child what color the wings of this butterfly look like when they are closed. 

 

Time to say goodbye to our butterflies!  

 

                                                                                                                      

                                                                                     

 

                                                                                               

 

 

VIP of the Week!

   

We learned lots of interesting things about Mr. A this week.  We found out that he has one sister and two brothers.  He likes to shop at Toys R Us, he likes to play video games, his favorite season is winter and he likes Valentine's Day!  We enjoyed seeing all of his pictures of him and his family.  We look forward to hearing and seeing lots more of his favorite things this week.

                                                                                                

 

 

 

                               

                                   Mr. A and some of his buddies!

 

  Miss G shared her little bird that she helped to rescue.  She is feeding him special "baby" food!  She thinks he is about a week old. 

 

 

         If anyone would like to celebrate a summer birthday before school is out, please let Mrs. Critchell know!

     

 

 

 

         

 

Miss J and Mr. A celebrated both  "Unbirthdays" with us!  We thank both of them for the yummy cupcakes! 

  We loved playing Mr. A's pinata game and finding out WHO had the magic string to open the pinata.  Who was the lucky student???

 

 

 

                  We are authors!                            

 

Doing the Tooty-Ta!                  

        

We made beautiful flowers to show that we are "BLOOMING!"   

 

 

Our life cycle wheels were made using pasta to show the stages of a butterfly's life.  

 

We put all of our hands together to make a big flower to show all the parts of a plant. 

 

We made creepy, crawly caterpillars, too!

                                                                                       

 

 

 

 

Mr. D celebrated his 6th birthday with us.  Thanks so much for the delicious cupcakes and new crayons for our classroom!

 

April Award Winners        

 

  We had so much fun playing a new math game to help us with the numbers from 1-100.  We used dice to play the game.  Ask your child to explain how we played, and who was the winner!  Did the students win, or did Mrs. Critchell?? 

 

                                                                                               

The children were very anxious and excited for the Mother's Day Tea.  Everyone was very proud of their efforts and especially Mrs. Critchell!  They did a wonderful job.  There were so many terrific pictures that it was difficult to decide which pictures to post this week.  You will be getting a CD of all of the photos with your child.  Thank you so much for coming to the tea and helping to make it a very special day for all of us!
