Terrific Thursday, everyone!
Today the Buds Class celebrated the birthdays of our very own E and M! Happy birthday to our two sweet girls! Your friends and teachers love you so very very much!
On top of the front table today, we all began working on our Moms Day banner! We used warm colors like red, pink and purple to paint, stamp and tap our way to an amazing display of color! We even used flower and heart shapes to stamp secret pictures all across the surface! We are so excited to share it with all the special ladies we call “mom” in our lives!
At the back table, we created some birthday cakes and special pretend treats for our Buds friends in honor of today’s birthday! Yay! We love to use our hands and make all kinds of shapes and sculptures. Clay is one of our most favorite activities! Do you like to play with clay at home?
In the free play area, we built houses and little neighborhoods out of mega blocks! The mega blocks are perfect for our fingers and hands to grasp and we love how they fit together. Lately, the little Buds have been testing their engineering skills by building towers as tall as themselves! We would like to challenge the Buds families at home to build a tower this week together! It can be with any items in your home, give it a try! Everything is better together!
After we cleaned up, we heard some special guests arrived! It was M and E’s parents! They came to join our birthday celebration! Yay!
E’s mommy read us all a very cute book called “I Can Help” by David Hyde Costello. It was about a community of animals that help each other in different ways, just like the Buds Class! We love helping our friends because it makes us and them feel special!
Afterwards, we sang happy birthday to our celebrants and then M’s daddy showed us a fantastic video about how we can hear our heartbeats with a special tool that doctors use, called a STETHOSCOPE!
Her daddy also brought some real stethoscopes for us to try! We put them on by putting the soft parts into our ears and listening by touching the end (diaphragm) onto our chests and stomachs. M’s daddy said that doctors use stethoscopes to hear and check on our hearts and tummies and that their sounds can tell the doctors if there might be any problems. How cool! We also received some special gifts from our celebrants. E donated some wonderful books to our class by Eric Carle along with the story we read and M gave us all a special goody bag!
Thank you all so much for the wonderful gifts and for sharing the day with us!
Love,
Buds
