Here Come the Crickets

We have started to notice bugs around the Outdoor Classroom, so, we are going to focus a little more on bugs for a while.  Today Mrs. Whiteman brought in ten crickets which she bought at Teskes.
They eat carrots and drink from a cotton ball soaked in water.

Outdoor Classroom:  Mrs. Whiteman brought in a big container that had a hole in it the size of an acorn.  Several children spent the morning putting acorns in our "acorn bank".  It was fun.  Noelle spotted an ant on the tree.  It was moving very fast.  On Tuesday, Olive found a Cicada killing wasp that had died.  It is big and scary looking.

Circle Time:  We read the stories "The Very Quiet Cricket" and "A World of Families".

Snack Time:  Easton brought Rice Krispie Treats and apple juice.  Thank you, Easton.  Our snack for Tuesday was Mini Club Crackers and Juicy Juice.  Thank you, Macyn.

Free Play:  The children played in all of the Centers and painted a mural together.  We will hang the mural out on the wall in the hallway.  It turned out very pretty.

Try to stay cool!
