Happy Friday! The summer is going by way too fast! This week was all about bears. On Monday we read Corduroy and made cute little bears with button overalls. We also played "Hide the Button" with a huge button. Everyone loved hiding the button for their friends to find. On Tuesday we read Berenstain Bears and the Eager Beavers, then glued tiny bears to the letter B. We also found lots of words that start with B. On Wednesday we read Brown Bear, Brown Bear and did a super fun activity. The kids picked a color paint and then put some in the middle of a piece of paper. We folded the paper and smushed the paint. When we opened it up again and looked at the blob, we used our imagination to see a picture. Take a look at Alexa's!!

That is totally a red elephant ballerina!

On Thursday, we read Goldilocks and the three bears and made yummy oatmeal cookies. Everyone got to put in ingredients and stir the batter. Here is Sophie adding some baking soda.



Today we read Little Bear and made bear masks. We also had a lot of fun making towers and forts with the brick blocks. Madison made a perfect little reading spot.

Also- don't think those big kids have been sitting around doing nothing- this week we have seen many concerts. (You haven't lived until you've seen Zack dance with a slinky and Elijah dance with a light sabor!) For only 30 cents we get admission into the lego craft show, the antique store, and the concert. We can pay extra for homemade comics or to play a game. Oh-Alex wanted me to mention that this month's "Employee of the Month" is Zack because he helped Alex do his most hated chore-recycling.
The Lego Craft Show.
A big thank you to Madison's mom for watermelon, cereal, and bananas!
