This week we focused on patterns and colors.

Monday

Monday was a beautiful sunny day. During morning time play we colored and made chalk patterns. That afternoon we brought out the kiddie pool and our little ones enjoyed splashing and playing with their friends.

Tuesday

On Tuesday we walked to the big park. While at the park Ella enjoyed climbing, Avery loved the slide, and Suzianne was the ultimate swing champion.

Wednesday

Wednesday we celebrated Avery's 1st Birthday! 

We worked on sorting color gems and finding patterns within the colors. Following we then glued them onto a star.

Thursday

Thursday the rain began. When we had the chance we went for a neighborhood walk.  On our walk we enjoyed watching the big kids play at school and splashing in puddles.

One swam into a net and then there were four. Four cranky crabs were floating in the sea. One got tangled up in seaweed then there were three. Three Cranky crabs were wondering what to do. One dug a deep, deep hole. Then there were two. Two cranky crabs were warming in the sun. One got scooped up in a cup. Then there was one. One cranky crab was smarter than his friends. He hid between the jagged rocks. That's how the story ends.
