The Story About Ping

Wednesday the activity was playing with water. Of course the rain kept us inside so we had a little pool to work with. The Busy Bees each had a different object to put in the water. They were seeing if it floated or sunk.

The Busy Bees had a snack of green foods. Green Jello and a green drink and for those who needed more letter crackers. Noah was the only one who loved the jello, he asked for seconds. Most of the Busy Bees just played with it!!

Pictures of how each Leprechauns turned out!

The Story About Ping

This week we read the book The Story About Ping. Ping lives on a boat with his Mother, Father, brothers, sisters, aunts, uncles and cousins. So the Busy Bees counted their families.

Here are all the cute Busy Bees.

For our craft we started the Leprechauns. The Busy Bees painted the green and curled the hair and fixed the legs.

Here Evan and Paige playing with play do for centers. (They are on the floor because my table is covered in wet leprechauns)

Noah and Bronwen working with the pattern blocks.

Ryder and Calli counting bears and making patterns.

Lincoln and Sydney working with magnets.

Mrs. McNosh Hangs Up Her Wash

Wednesday was the Busy Bees big day of learning about cutting with scissors. We learned how to hold the scissors and cut a straight line, a zig zag line and a wavy line.

We then cut out a shirt, pants and a hat to hang on our clothes line. During math time we hung some numbers on the clothes line and put them in order. We learned a little about adding.

Mrs. McNosh Hangs Up Her Wash

This week we read Mrs. McNosh Hangs Up Her Wash. Mrs. McNosh hangs everything from clothes to a dog and even herself. Most of our activities centered around a clothes line. We hung up the lowercase and uppercase letters and found the matches. Then we tried some rhymes with hanging objects and each taking a turn.

And then of course we had to sort the laundry. The Girls found it extra fun because we sorted Addison's cute clothes.

I had the Busy Bees try match and fold socks.

We made some frog puppets. All the Busy Bees enjoyed coloring and gluing the

puppets together.

Dentist Field Trip

 Busy Bees went to the dentist office last week for a field trip.  First, we all watched a little video about super heroes who fight green bad guys (bacteria) on our teeth.  

 Emily and Bronwen enjoying the movie.

Next, all the kids got to help the dinosaur brush his teeth.  

 Ryder showing off his circular brushing, just like we were taught.

 Sydney cleaning dino's molars.

 Margaret (Bronwen's baby sister) really wanted a turn. 

 Blake and Evan taking their turn.  After each kid helped dino brush, they got a sticker. 

 Ava really wanted to brush his tongue. 

 Now that dino's teeth are sparkly clean, we went back to the exam chairs.  The kids watching dino go for a ride in the chair. 

 Bronwen and Sydney going for their chair rides. 

 Margaret is not afraid to try anything the big kids do. 

 Noah showing off his 2 missing teeth. 

 Paige was a little skeptical about getting in the chair, but when we told her we needed a picture of her in the chair she was all for it. 

 Another little busy bee who isn't afraid to try the moving chair.  

 Evan, unimpressed with the chair. :)

 After we learned all about what we do at the dentist, all the kids got a little prize bag with all sorts of oral hygiene goodies.
