Pajama Day:

Pp was the Perfect letter to learn about this week!  The Three Little Pigs, Peacocks, Penguins, Polar Bears, Popcorn, This Little Piggie, and of course our PAJAMA PARTY were some of the highlights!  We also continued to learn about Rainbows and had so much fun painting our peacock tail feathers with our rainbow watercolors!  And our Little Piggies loved building houses that THE BIG BAD WOLF tried to blow down!  Ask your Precious little Preschooler all about it!!

We read a very funny and heartwarming story about a Lucky Leprechaun, who of course loves rainbows as they all do, but who discovers what it truly means to be LUCKY!  Be sure to ask your lucky little one all about it and be sure to check out our Hallway Display next time you are in our Learning Center.  You will certainly feel like the LUCKIEST person  in the world when you check it out, I know I do!!  (Also, be sure to look closely at the Leprechauns' hats on display... the children cut them out themselves!!!)

This week we will be zooming right into our new Transportation STEAM Unit working on traffic lights and cars.  We will  be celebrating Dr. Seuss' Birthday on Monday with lots of Rhyming Fun!  We will also be learning letter Qq as well as kicking off our other March themes while we wrap up our Weather Unit with a BIG SURPRISE which will hopefully be ready to come home this week!
