April Showers bring May flowers...

Our theme for April is Birds in the Spring. We study things that change in the spring and learn all about birds.

 We were lucky enough this year to have a few tadpoles that grew into toads. I encouraged the children to journal changes in the tadpoles at least twice a week.

 What would a bird unit be without a dirt cup full of worms?
 These nests turned out way super cute!! I shredded some brown paper, gave the kids bowls of diluted white glue and a Styrofoam bowl to drape the paper over. Once they were dry we popped them off of the bowl and Viola!!



 We made some amazing Hummingbird Cake and the kids did a great job at copying the recipe while it baked.


 These flowers were soooooo cute I just couldn't resist.

 For those of you that don't know me that well I make sugar cookies into anything!! Sugar cookies can find their way into my lesson plans at least once a month and this month we made super cute flower cookies. The children were given a lump of yellow and a lump of pink. They had to separate the pink into 5 pieces, roll them into balls arrange them and press them into place. They turned out great.





I thought my calendar was particularly cute this month.
