The Ant, the Bug and the Bee and Cinnamon Biscuits

Group Meeting:  We looked at a few more family pictures today.  We still need a couple more.  If you have not sent a picture yet, we would really like to have one. 
It was Birthday Day.  We congratulated Addison Meyer, Hudson Harvey, and Aidan Kwak in the morning class and Lana McCoy in the afternoon class.

Story:  We read Neighborhood Song.  This is a picture book about what people do in the neighborhood.  It is written as a song using the melody from "Here We Go 'Round the Mulberry Bush".  We learned that people in the neighborhood play together, take care of each other, shop, go to school, work, and celebrate together.

Small Group:  Birthday Day is cooking day.  We made Cinnamon Biscuits.  We took refrigerated biscuit dough (in the pop open tubes) and dipped them in butter and cinnamon sugar.  Then we baked them in the oven.  Yum!

Large Group:  We learned the song "The Ant, the Bug and the Bee".  This helps us learn how to make lines up, down, and around.  Then, we completed the workbook page in our HWT books.  We had to color the ants black, the bugs red, and the bees yellow.  Then we made them climb up and down the page with our crayons.

Snacks:  We enjoyed our Cinnamon Biscuits.  Then we sang "Happy Birthday" and ate Birthday Brownies.

The children have permission forms in their backpacks for the upcoming field trip to the Shady Knoll.
