Parents,
This morning we ate breakfast and made buttons and gages for our big fire truck! We also worked on counting with airplanes and worked on our fine motor skills by threading spools onto pipe cleaners, and working with interlocking cubes. During circle time, we decided that it was cloudy outside, and we placed the big white cloud over our tree. We noticed that our classroom tree has started to grow tiny leaves! We counted to the number 10 during calendar, and we sang and danced to "Where is Thumbkin?" Then, we went outside with Pre-K and went on a hunt for beetles and ants! We found some beetles and watched them climb in and out of a hole in the dirt. For story time, we read "Fire Truck," which was about a boy who loved fire trucks so much, he actually turned in to one! During centers, we played in the Zilker Fire Station and made long hoses for our classroom fire truck. We also used the big red circles we painted yesterday, and added eyes, a nose, two ears and a mouth to turn them into Clifford the Big Red Dog! Ms. McGuire also came during centers to work with us on speech! We ate lunch, and then went outside on the playground with Pre-K. This afternoon, we will be going over to the Pre-K classroom and making pattern crowns!

Have a great day!
