Thank you for your tuition for April!
We had a fun day talking about April 1st and April Fools Day.  We listened to and sang a song, "I Played a Prank on You!"  We also sang Popcorn Popping on the Apricot Tree and used our popcorn bottles (empty water bottles in tube socks--when squeezed sound like popcorn).  We lined up and went out to the castle in the back and spied several "Popcorn Trees."  We also talked about how apricots are often one of the first fruit trees to bloom but that apple, cherry, pear, and plum will also blossom before bearing fruit.

Thursday's lesson is about a Wiggly Worm who wiggles through all kinds of weather and mud (chocolate pudding painting.  Enjoy SPRING BREAK next week.  No class Tuesday or Thursday.  See you the following week!
