Eggs!!!

After much anticipation, the eggs are finally here!!! Now we get to practice patience while we wait the 21 days it takes for them to hatch. We are soooooooo excited!!!

Another Sure Sign of Spring...

Can you guess what we're making?

Green Day!!!

In honor of that return of spring, (and that other green-centric event...) we went green in the Frog Room today;

Minty-scented green water in the water table...

Assorted green manipulatives onthe light table...

Green paint...

...And green paintings!

Chicken Preview

We've been talking with the Frogs about some of our upcoming curriculum plans. The one that seems to have generated the most excitement is incubating and hatching fertile chicken eggs. We've tried to explain that baby chickens like warmer weather, so we'll have to wait for spring to come before we can get started. Of course, It's hard to wait for something that is so cool!

Thank goodness for YouTube! This is what we watched during circle time today;

The kids were astounded! The best part was when the entire group went "Awwwww!!!!" once the baby chick finally made it out.

Our eggs should be ready to incubate in about three weeks. We can't wait!
