Happy Tuesday!!!

I hope you were all able to take advantage of the beautiful weather this weekend. I'm so glad that we were able to dodge all of the snow that they thought we were going to get.

Today we read the story "The Rainbow Fish" By Marcus Pfister.  This story is about a fish with shiny, multi-colored scales named the Rainbow Fish.  He had blue, green and purple scales, and he also had beautiful shiny silver glittery scales. All the other fish thought they were so beautiful.  When the little blue fish asked the Rainbow fish if he would share his silver scales with him, he said "no"!  The other fish decided that they didn't want to play with the Rainbow fish anymore, since he wouldn't share.    Rainbow fish was sad that he didn't have anyone to play with.  The wise old octopus told the Rainbow fish, that if he would share and be nice to others that maybe his friends would like to play with him and he wouldn't be so lonely. He decided to take the octopus' advice, and share a silver scale with the little blue fish.  Once, he saw them sparkling in the water, he realized that it was ok to share his scales.  Ask your child what the Rainbow fish decided to do with all of his glittery scales.

Today we made our own rainbow fish.  We practiced using the eye droppers in watercolors, Our fish look so beautiful, and we can't wait to show them off at Grown-Up day.


Brinley was our snack leader today.  She brought cheese cubes and crackers.  Thank you, Brinley!!

I can't wait to see everyone on Thursday for "Grown-Up Day", we have some very excited children!
