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.

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.

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.
