Hello Friends and Families! 

The children were busy on the last day before spring break. In construction, the children were interested in building many different sized structures. Some of them were tall and narrow and some short and wide. No matter the size of their structures, the children were engaged in their work. In art, the children have been able to use watercolor paint. They have created many pictures. In table toys, the children were hard at work lacing clothes onto a teddy bear. They were able to pick the outfit to put on the teddy bear. The children were still curious about the clean mud in the discovery. They were making snowmen and cookies with the clean mud. In the writing center this week the children have been interested in telescopes and binoculars. Many have been making their own binoculars. They even taught some of the other children how to make them. In pretend, there has been some performing on the stage. They have been using the masks of "The Three Billy Goats" and acting out the story. They also have been doing this outside on the bridge. 

Hope you have a safe and enjoyable break. 

See you in 10 days!
