St. Patrick's Day

We had great fun last week figuring out what a mouse wants after eating a cookie, what a moose wants after eating a muffin and what a pig wants after eating a pancake! The chidren had great fun guessing what each of them would want and they caught on to the cycle in the books of what the animals might want! We laughed a lot at the thought of a moose in our kitchen asking for more muffins!

This week we'll be learning about the letter H and the number 7. We'll be reading about St. Patrick and what his day means and we'll look on our maps to see where Ireland is too! We've been having fun looking for leprechauns and finding footprints around the classroom so we know they're around here somewhere!

We made blubber yesterday and the children really liked playing with it. We're also painting with marbles this week and it's great fun to mix your colors on your paper with the marbles that you have in your pan and roll them around to create different lines and colors.
