May 4th - 7th, 2026: Mother's Day & Planting

Hello Firefly Families!

We had a fun week with all of the Fireflies talking about our mommies. We completed an emergent reader book about counting, colors and flowers, made a special gift for our moms by painting pots and planting flowers, made observations of our caterpillars (now chrysalides), responded to the journal prompt, "How does your mommy take care of you?", cut out flowers and sequenced them in order from largest to smallest and went on an ABC hunt around our room to see if we could match the lowercase letters to their capital letter. We read the books Are You My Mother?, Mother's Day Surprise, The Best Mother, and Mother's Day Surprise (Pinkalicious) and practiced learning how to write numbers 3, 4 & 5 in our HWT book. We also had our caterpillars turn into chrysalides! We can't wait to see the butterflies emerge in the next couple weeks. :)


Reminders:

*LECC Field Day: Thursday, May 21st

*End of the Year Party @ Tilles Park!: Wednesday, May 27th
