Good Morning sweet Owls,

We had another wonderful week in the Owl room. We worked on our "special projects" We read many spring books. Everyone is sitting and listening on the couches. Yeah!! We are getting ready to be Blue Birds. We also sang many of the songs we sang all year. We love to sing. The garden center was open and we dug in the dirt. In chapel we rode a scooter straight to Jesus. What a fun week we had in the Owl Room.

Starting this week send your little owls to class in a swim suit. We love the water and everyone is getting soaked. We will have some extra fun water activities to enjoy the last three weeks of school. Wear your swim suit to school with a cover up and bring a change of clothes and a towel. I will clean them up in time to go home. Please put sun screen on them at home we are not to put on sun screen at school. Remember the mosquito's are coming out also.

I am looking forward to the last three weeks of school. We will be exploring SUMMER fun to celebrate.

I did not post new pictures because all the cool stuff we did is a secrete.

Have a great week.
With Love,
Ms. Tracee

Hello precious owls~

I hope everyone is doing well. We had a wonderful week in the owl class talking about spring and growing. We played in our beans and garden center. We colored with markers and spring stickers. As we experiment with these items we talk about the stickers and colors and it is awesome for fine motor development. We also painted with water bottles and made flower prints. This was great fun. We played with the parachute in chapel while we talked about how God calmed the sea. We had a wonderful week playing outside. We love this weather.

I look forward to next week we are going to make a "secret project"

Have a great week and remember to bring extra clothes.

I have a few pictures. Check them out.

With Love,

Hello Owls~

We had a fun week in the owl class. We opened a Flower shop in the Dramatic Play center. Complete with dirt, bugs, gardening gloves and flowers. We loved playing in the new center. Now that we are getting older it is time to explore some new types of play. We still had our bowls of beans. We scooped and poured. SO Fun!! We sponge painted a butterfly and we had fun playing with our coffee filter butterflies. Fly, Fly Butterfly. We read the Hungry Caterpillar. It was fun to munch all the food. Outside we had tons of paint brushes and we painted the play structure with water. We also played in shaving cream. Outside play is so fun in the warmer weather.

I look forward to next week ~ we will be exploring flowers and growing things.

Have a wonderful week. Enjoy the new pictures.

With Love~

Happy Easter Sweet Owls~

I hope a great Easter was had by all. We had a wonderful week in the owl room. We explored Easter by reading Corduroy's Easter, and Tenn Little Bunnies. We played in the Easter Confetti and put colored eggs in the egg carton while talking about colors and using the words open, shut. We had an Easter Egg Hunt, a few friends were not sure in the beginning but got the hang of it. What FUN!! We went to the Spring Fling and had a great time, we caught butterflies, put ants in an ant hill and even made our own Resurrection eggs. We had wonderful Easter Snacks and a great time playing outside in the beautiful weather.

I look forward to this week we will continue to talk about Spring and we will be focusing on ducks.

Have a wonderful week.

Hello Sweet Owls~

It is so nice outside and we enjoyed talking about Easter and spring in our class this week. We played with the Easter confetti and egg bunnies and ducks in the sensory tables, we water painted an Easter egg, and we put stickers on a cross to work on fine motor skills and team work. We read 10 Bunnies and found the mystery bunnies in my bag. We counted and recounted all the bunnies. In chapel we rode Jesus donkey and waived palm branches. We loved this. We went to motor movement and jump inside and outside the hula hoops. Among all of this we had our picture made. We got a good one of each of my owls. So sweet.

With the nice weather the water tables are out and the water fountain is on again so please bring extra clothes even socks for those owls who love water play.(everyone)

Hello Sweet Owls. EVERYONE loved exploring things that go. In the sensory table we played with boats and levers. We read the book Things That Go and many more books about trucks, trains and automobiles. We all wanted to read this week and everyone came to the couches when it was story time. We sang "The Wheels on the Bus" We painted with cars and went outside to roll big cars down the slide. We loved this. We also wrote with markers and car stickers. We also sorted with the color bowes. We are really working on our colors and colors that are alike. We loved the bike rally. We rode our bikes and explored all the pinwheels and flags around the rode. What a wonderful week.
I look forward to next week when we explore more things that go even things in space.

Howdy Owls~ What a great rodeo day we had in the owl room. We rode the horses in our room. We stamped and played with the cowboys in the sugar. We enjoyed our cowboy trail mix and read stories about cowboys. My precious owls painted a book and put gold glitter on it. The more the better. Outside Pat had many rodeo things to do. We branded the fence with a potato masher, we rode a horse and we panned for gold. There were snakes all in the dirt and it was fun to watch my owls discover them. We had a wonderful week.

I look forward to this week where we will explore things that go.
Don't forget your bikes or trikes or ride along. What works for your little owl.

We sang Twinkle Little Star and Wheels on the bus(to get ready for transportation week). We stamped stars and colored with chalk on black paper. We also played in the sugar with the hearts and sea lions again. We had a great snack. All of my Owls loved the pancakes. YUM~YUM.
In Chapel we talked about Ruth and Naomi and picked the Wheat with magnets. We loved this.
We played outside and enjoyed the sunshine. What a wonderful week.

Hello Precious Owls. We had a wonderful week in the owl room. It snowed on Tuesday. We had a great time. In the owl room we painted a snowflake with a cool sponge paint brush. We also put glitter on it. We love this. We painted with shaving cream on the easel. It turned into finger painting and my Tuesday owls explored by spreading it on the windows. FUN, FUN. We read our winter books and enjoyed the class made book about things we do at school. It was a popular read. We explored with ice in the sensory. This was exciting. In Chapel we got to throw bean bags at the Wall of Jericho. What a great week we had.

Remember there is no school this week. We have our conferences. If you need to bring your owl that is fine. They can play while we talk.

The following week is Valentines. Please plan on sending a Valentine for each of the kids in your child's class. We will make a little something to put the notes in. I will provide a valentine snack.

See you guys at conferences.

Thanks
Ms. Tracee :)

Hello Sweet Owls~~~



I hope all of you are feeling ok. I know alot of stuff is going around. Despite all the illness at my house we had a great week in the Owl Room. It snowed on Thursday!! Did you see it? It was not even cold. The Thursday Owls really enjoyed the snow and the fast hill. In class we put a face on our snowman and talked about face attributes. We played with our snowmen and winter ducks in the snow. We climbed through the belly of a whale in Chapel just like Jonah.

I look forward to next week were we will explore the snow and cold.



Thank you all for your patience with my families illnesses. I hear that everyone does fine while I am gone.



Remember Snow Date has changed to Tuesday @9:15. Wednesday Owls are welcome.

Hello Sweet Owls. Are we enjoying a cold winter day? Owls like to hide in there trees and stay warm so please stay in your "trees" and stay warm today. What a great week to study snowmen. We read How to build a snowman and built our own snowman. We worked on putting a face together and talked about a happy and sad face. We played in the cotton "snow" and discovered there were snowmen and winter ducks in the snow. We dug through the snow and found and ducks and snowmen and sorted them. We also counted them. They did a GREAT job with this. We drew with markers and snowmen stickers. They love this. We talk about colors while we open and close the markers. We painted a snowman and put glitter on it. SO FUN. We went to motor movement and Chapel where we found baby Jesus under the star just like the Wise Men. We made a candle and a star snack. WE HAD A WONDERFUL WEEK.
