Some Spring Rhymes
Old John Muddlecombe
Old John Muddlecomb lost his cap
He couldn't find it anywhere, the poor old cahp
He went down the high street and everybody said
Silly John Muddlecomb, you've got it on your head
Little Miss Tucket
Little Miss Tucket
Sat on a bucket
Eating some peaches and cream
There came a grasshopeer
And tried to stop her
But she said, "Go away or I'll scream!"
A sailor
A sailor went to sea, sea, sea to see what she could see see see
But all that she could see see see was the bottom of the deep blue sea sea sea
Garden Snail
Slowly slowly very slowly
Goes the garden snail
Slowly slowly very slowly
Up the garden rail
Quickly quickly very quickly
Runs the little mouse
Quickly quickly very quickly
To his little house
Home
Here is a nest for a bluebird
Here is a hive for a bee
Here is a hole for a bunny
And here is a house for me

Our Spring Walk
On our Spring walk, we looked for many signs of Spring....

Scientists in the Schools
The children had so much fun being scientists and conducting so many different experiments. They were paleontologists, marine biologists, astronomers, chemists and more....
More Outdoor Play and Learning with Loose Parts!
The children continue to have a great time playing with the loose parts during our play outside in the mornings. They create such interesting structures and are learning so much about working together!
Measurement
We have moved on from patterning and are now looking at how to measure things. We are first looking at the bigger concept of size - thinking of things that are big and small - and what that means - How can we describe things that are big and small? For example, we can say something big may be long or tall, or we can say something small may be short or thin. We will continue to look at measurement of a variety of things. We will ask questions such as, how can we measure things, or look at comparing two different things....
Patterns patterns everywhere
Patterns patterns everywhere
Patterns we can see
Patterns on the ______________
And patterns on me!
The children recited this poem lots during our patterning unit! They observed many patterns outside and inside, on clothes and on furniture and on themselves! The created and extended patterns using manipulatives, letters and numbers and body movements. They are great pattern makers!
