Happy St. Patrick's Day! I don't think Luck has anything to do with it! We are Blessed!
We met with our friend Kiely and enjoyed a fun day learning about the real meaning of St. Patrick's Day. Made homemade shamrock cookies with green sprinkles. Learned about the Blessed trinity. Made a shamrock sprout with lettuce seeds and created a solution that will turn our pipe cleaner shamrock into a beautiful crystal. Fun!

Butterfly Garden



Suzanne, Kiely and Hannah talking to a docent about butterflies.
A butterfly landed on Hannah's shoe.



Today we went on a field trip to a butterfly garden. It was beautiful! We enjoyed the peaceful creatures and watched them float around us. Many landed on our bodies. It was wonderful.

Crazy Feet



I am so happy ! Dad took Hannah to buy some socks and they came home with Mix - A - Roos! I don't have to worry about matching socks anymore. They come all different. Brillant, I tell you Brillant!

Snail Snack

Grandpa Paul this snack is for you! Hannah's Poem this week was about snails. She has been observing her mystery snail in her fish tank and in the garden. We learned about the snails anatomy. Interesting!
Snails
author unknown
Slimy and slippery, Snails are such fun. Slowly they move, They can't run!
Leaving their trail Behind as they go. You can see where they've been and how very slow.
On their back is a shell, It's really their home. It's ever so small, But it goes where they roam.
On stalks are their eyes, that wave all around. One can point up and one to the ground!
They eat lots of plants, and all the flowers. Munching away, Especially in showers.
Shiny and slippery, snails are such fun. They eat and they eat, they must weigh a ton.
