Happy Spring Break!! Woohoo! (If you're even reading this and aren't already off sipping a cool beverage, celebrating the weekend and the beginning of longer days and summer-like weather!) But if you ARE reading this, we did some cool stuff this week! There was a lot of art involved. And even some forks. Madame was impressed with all of our variations on an idea! We read a fun book about mixing paint colours and then decided we should try it, ourselves! We put dots of different colours on opposite sides of a piece of paper, then slammed them together. It created super cool butterfly-looking effects. Claire and Fria even took it to the next level later and made theirs into butterfly puppets using toilet paper rolls. But sadly, Madame wasn't there to take a picture of the moment. And in the world of performative arts, we got to watch the older kids perform their Lunchbox Theatre production of "Aladdin". We really enjoyed the show and some of us are super excited about the idea of doing Lunchbox Theatre when the opportunity comes available for us later in the Spring. We've also started learning to play chess! Madame has a game called "Story Time Chess" that associates each game piece's unique moves with a fun story to help us remember the rules. So far, we've only had time to learn about "King Shaky", who LOVES to eat and has such a big belly that he's only able to take one...step...at...a...time. A pizza blows out the window onto the checkered lawn and he goes around picking up each piece one...step...at...a...time in every direction. We are eager to continue learning about all of the other characters after Spring Break. We had lots of fun making discoveries again this week on our forest walk, and even found an amazing nest! Sadly, we had to say "au revoir" to Marilou this week, our French monitor. We will really miss all the fun activities that we did with her! A big "merci" to Nana Kesler, who spoiled us once again with beautiful Easter treats!!! Extra photos...
