Hello Red Room Families,

This week in the Red Room we countinued creating some more wonderful art for open house, and we also learned about the lifecycle of a butterfly. We read a few books; the first was entitled Butterfly by Wendy Perkins and the other was Animals Butterflies by Nick Rebman. We also learned fun facts about butterflies. Butterflies are colorful insects with beautiful wings that come in many patterns, like spots and stripes. They start their lives as tiny eggs, then become caterpillars that love to eat leaves. After that, they wrap themselves in a chrysalis, where they transform in a magical way into butterflies! Butterflies taste with their feet and drink, sweet nectar from flowers using a long, straw–like tongue. Some butterflies, even travel very long distances, like tiny, flying adventures!

ART 🦋

The children created beautiful butterflies, using a variety of vibrant paints. After adding colorful dots, they folded their paper and gently rubbed it to spread the paint, revealing unique and magical patterns on each wing. Every butterfly turned out one of a kind! 

We wish we could share the finished creations with you, but they’re being saved as a special surprise. Stay tuned! 

       OUTDOORS

During outdoor play this week, the children had fun making pretend cupcakes and building sand hills in the sandbox. They especially loved running across the meadow with their friends and chasing one another pretending to be monsters.
