Signs of Spring!

Good morning! There are lots of signs of spring outside! Have you seen any trees grow pretty, bright flowers? Have you seen flowers come out of the ground for the bees to come and visit them? Ms. Abby has seen a lot of signs of spring and here are some of the pictures she has taken to share with you!

If you have seen any signs of spring outside your window or in your yard, share a picture on the google photos album or via email! You can also draw your own picture of flowers or trees!

Fun Friday

We thought today would be fun to do some singing and dancing!  First up Ms. Katie sings and plays her guitar to Head, Shoulders, Knees and Toes

Next is are some Birch Room favorites. We LOVE Jim Gill so here are two fun and silly ones to do. 

Have a wonderful weekend!

Space Fun!

Good morning! Today, we are going to learn about space and then stretch and exercise our bodies with a yoga trip to the moon!

Here is a read aloud to learn about outer space!

Me And My Place In Space

Enjoy your trip to the moon! Remember to take deep breaths while doing your yoga!

Practical Scissor Usage

Are you looking for a fun and practical outside activity for your kiddos?  The other day Joe asked if he could cut the grass.  I told him he was too young to use the lawn mower by himself.  He then said, "No, I want to use scissor."  Well, that was OK with me!  I showed him what flowers/ plants he could NOT cut.  This was a good 20 minutes of concentration and a great way to practice using scissors!

Drawing Challenge

Here is your challenge today: draw one of your favorite things or places at school! 

Is it the Birch room, playscape, or collaboratory? What are some other fun rooms at school? Remember doing the obstacle courses in the hallway, or the rock wall in the gym? Do you enjoy playing in the snail or the sandbox? Here are some pictures of places you played and activities that you did at school!

I'm challenging you to get out your drawing/art materials and create one of your favorite spots from Ambrose! Your creation can be anything from school!

You can also build one of these rooms with blocks or legos. If you'd like to draw with chalk on a sidewalk or back patio, that would be fun too! Make sure to post a picture to our Google Photos album. We would love to see your creations!

Happy Monday

Happy Monday and May friends!! I hope everyone got to spend some time outside this weekend, the weather was BEAUTIFUL!!! I made a little video for you guys sharing a book about caterpillars. 

Fun activities happening at home!

Wow, the pictures on the Google Photos sure look like fun! The Birch teachers have enjoyed looking at these great activities happening at home!

Some friends have been reading outside while enjoying the nice weather. Other friends explored the outdoors and collected some nature treasures!

Other kids have been doing some challenging puzzles! They sure are puzzle masters from doing so many great puzzles in the Birch room!

Another friend practiced her counting with her number game on her device, how fun! 

It has been so great to see our Birch friends playing and taking care of their siblings. 

Please continue to post pictures and videos of your child playing, exploring and learning at home! We hope everyone stays healthy and enjoy the beautiful weather this weekend!
