For snack, we sipped our juice like butterflies!
Butterflies have a 'straw-like' tongue that unrolls to sip nectar from flowers!
So we used our straws to sip our own 'flower juice'!

Symmetry Discussion
As we continue to discuss the qualities of butterflies,
we have been also discussing how butterflies are symmetrical!
Take a look at some of our butterflies we made and make sure to 'ask me about' how
to make a butterfly using a symmetrical design.

Happy Monday!
 |
| Eliora works on the computer to paint a symmetrical butterfly |
 |
| Faith works with dot art paint to make a symmetrical butterfly |
 |
| This butterfly is not symmetrical, but will be very colorful with bleeding tissue paper squares and a squirt of water |
 |
| Austin works to finish his caterpillar from last week's rotations |
 |
| Josh works on a puzzle to complete this symmetrical butterfly |
This week we will begin new Station Rotations that incorporate activities related to butterflies and symmetry.
We also will be working with a new series similar to our Alphatales but focuses on numbers called Numbertales. This week we will work with ten and groups of ten. Sent home tonight was a small copy of the story and a paper asking your pre-K student to find groups of ten. We will continue to work with Numbertales in the coming weeks ahead.
