Wow! This week flew! It must of been because we were having so much fun learning about butterflies. We started our week off by reading, The Very Hungry Butterfly. We had so much fun practicing color recognition, the days of the week, counting and the butterfly life cycle while enjoying this wonderful story. We continued the theme of butterflies by making a diagram

of the life cycle using, paper cut outs, lentil, and pasta. We also discussed symmetry and the beautiful colors of butterflies. The kids had a lot of fun using paint, on one half of a folded piece of paper. They then folded back both sides and rubbed to make their butterfly wings symmetrical. There were a lot of ohhhs and ahhhs. Coffee filters are not just for adults. In preschool we used our washable markers to color them in and then we sprayed them down with water, to creat beautiful tye-dye wings. Putting them together with a clothes pin was neat too. It's always great to see what can be made with every day objects. Tomorrow is the Tricky Tray! Thank you to all who donated and to Mrs. Sandorff for coordinating our classroom basket. I hope to see many of you there. It has sold out in the past and history has been made again. The Tricky Tray is sold out again! I want to personally thank everyone who donated and colored in Autism Awareness ribbons. We were over whlemed by the support from staff, students and the community! Please enjoy your weekend!
