Fields of Strawberries

Each year, ABC takes the children on a field trip to a Strawberry farm in May.  We had so much fun this year.  The weather was delightful and the fields were plentiful!

Easter

The kids enjoyed many Easter activities before they left for a long Spring Break!!!  

They sorted eggs,

had an egg toss,

 ...and they went on an Easter Egg hunt!

February, March....so many themes!!!

We started off February by learning about Groundhog day, then we celebrated the much LOVED holiday of Valentine's Day.  The children brought in Valentine's Day cards for their friends and passed them out.

In March, we learned about Dental Health and Community Helpers.

 Brushing a tooth with shaving cream.  Great sensory time!!!

 Our 'Fish' dressed up as Community Helpers! 

 Playing Doctor!

 Show & Tell time with Community Helper Items

Fun Food Friday

We made a stoplight out of rice krispie treats and M&Ms.  YUM!!

Weather

Next, we learned about the weather.  And the weather has been interesting at ABC this month; snow, ice, rain, sun....

St. Patrick's Day

 Fun Food Friday

We made a fruit rainbow for Weather/St. Patrick's Day

What did the Groundhog see?

Groundhog Day!

We started off February learning about Groundhog day.  Yes, the groundhog saw his shadow and ran back in the hole.  It is official: 6 more weeks of Winter!!!  The kids enjoyed making their own groundhog out of a banana, raisins, fruit snacks, M&M's and oriental noodles.  These snacks gave an interesting combination of flavors!!!

Making a Cozy Blanket

The Sharks used their fine motor skills with Ms. Sharon in making cozy blankets for their beds.  As you can see, the boys are excited about their accomplishment!

Arctic Animal

Arctic Animals

We finished the month of January with a week on Arctic Animals.  We talked about polar bears, seals, penguins and many more.  For Fun Food Friday, we made a penguin out of OREO's, M&M's, and candy corn.  The kids had fun breaking the OREO's apart!
