Oreo Chick made with yellow tinted frosting and candy wings and beak. Pretzel legs and choc. chip eyes. Yummy!
Easter Blessing craft...Each day for twelve days before Easter we are reading a scripture about the Easter Story. Then when we open the egg & there is a fun activity to do for others and our community. For example today Hannah is going to pick up trash in the neighborhood. We pray for our enemies too! Rejoice! Jesus is Alive!

This is the Day the Lord has Made. Let us Rejoice and Be Glad in it! Psalm 118:24
Spring is here and preparing for Easter is such a special time. We have been making plates for each season and having so much fun! Hannah wanted to make a flower out of her hand print.

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.
