Just Horsing Around

Today we played with lots of different things. We played with the doll house, animals. We built structures, played with cars and worked together to build puzzles. We played What time is it Mrs. Wolf in the gym. At the end of the day we went out to play in the playpark. There were Easter Eggs all over the playground. We think our friend, The Gingerbread Man must have told The Easter Bunny to hide them for us. We had a hoppy good time in Kindergarten.

What is Inside an Owl Pellet?

Today The Gingerbread Man sent us a storybook about owls and a special package. It was an owl pellet. We looked inside the owl pellet. We looked at all sorts of bones that were found in owl pellets. We used the magnifying glass and the microscope to look closely at the bones and find out what animals they came from. We drew the bones in our nature book. We played a math game called Zap. We had to say the number we saw. If we pulled out a zap we had to put our cards back in. We are bringing home a little book. The popcorn words we talked about is: see. We drew self portraits on our lifebook. We played outside with lots of toys. We had a fun day in Kindergarten.
