OH MY GOODNESS... WE WERE SO EXCITED!!!!

WHAT A GOLDEN MESS!!!

COULD IT BE?!?!  IS THAT A LEPRECHAUN HAT?!?!?!

Did our TRAP really work?!?!

THE SUSPENSE WAS TOO MUCH!!!!  

WE WARMED UP... 

WE STRETCHED AND PRACTICED OUR STARES!!!!!

And then...

ASK YOUR LITTLE MISCHIEF MAKER WHAT HAPPENED!!!!!!!

Can you guess what we made?

It was such a fun day for our Little Leprechauns!

We celebrated the beginning of Spring by making our very own robins!

We loved painting our cars!

We wrapped up Winter with a very special Writing Assignment!

We published our very own Weather Books!!!

We hope you enjoyed reading them as much as we enjoyed "writing" them!!

Our Five Day Friends did so well on our Letter Review!!

And they had so much fun with our GREEN Playdough!!

Our class hit the open road with a deep dive into our study of CARS!!

We started Driver's Ed early with this crew!!

Be sure to test them on their Road Readiness Skills and be sure to be prepared to be tested yourself too!!

(We apologize if we've turned any of our little drivers into backseat drivers!!)

We put the finishing touches on our cars!

They are now on display in our classroom traffic jam!

We loved playing outside when it was warm earlier in the week!!

Our Five Day Friends loved learning the Tiny Tim nursery rhyme as well as lots of cool turtle facts!

We also loved adding Robins and their eggs to our Bird Houses!

Our little environmentalists loved making real tree bark observations!

Then we turned our little t's into tree trunks and branches!

Then we topped off our trees with some pretty "tree-mendous" canopies!  

We painted some beautiful Spring Flowers!

We cut out some seed pod circles!

\

And then practiced writing our NAMES as seeds!!

We did so well with our Free Choice Show and Tell!

We danced!! 

A LOT!!

We cut out our own Religion Booklets!

We learned that we can pray ANYWHERE!!

After learning so much about praying, we worked hard filling in the blanks in our special booklets!

Look who stopped by to test our knowledge!!!

He was so IMPRESSED!!!

Hope you all have unbelievably, unparalleled, unique weeks!!
