Signs of Spring are everywhere now, and we loved experiencing them on our walk to the forest this week. The cherry blossom trees even made perfect natural confetti. "It's like snow on the ground, Madame!" We were especially fascinated by a giant bumble bee. A friend donated some wood paddles to Madame so she has been letting us spend the week sanding them and making them into whatever we want! We talked about how they may be shaped like a paddle, but they could actually be many different things - a baseball bat, a tennis racket, a puppet, a guitar, a fish... The only limit is our imaginations! Madame taught us how to use sandpaper and to look for the numbers written on the back. The lower the number, the grittier the sandpaper is, which is great for really rough wood. The higher the number, the smoother it is, which is great when our project is already quite smooth. We have enjoyed caressing our projects with our cheeks to see just how smooth they are. We had a special guest singer today - Peter's dad! He introduced us to his guitar, named "Gibson", and lead us through some really fun songs. We were begging him not to leave when it was time. Peter also did a phenomenal job telling us about his family's Easter traditions. What a great duo! We learned all about letting our kindness and love shine bright for those around us. It was also a super fun week in gym class! How could you not be excited about this?!... Even Madame couldn't resist getting in on that fun! Extra pics...
