WEEK ONE:
On Monday, the preschoolers went on a Safari Adventure. Marty the monkey was in the school and made a mess in our room. We followed the color clues to find the BIG monkey. Marty was hiding in the motor room and was kind of nice to bring us some yummy treats...we ate the bananas for snack. Pictures will be uploaded soon.

We will be reading some of my favorite stories this week including: Eight Silly Monkeys Jumping on the Bed, Llama Llama Red Pajama, White Rabbit's Color Book, and once again we will read Brown Bear, Brown Bear (it's so good we will read it again!).

On Tuesday, we will be doing our first cooking lesson. We will make chocolate pretzel cookies (rolos on pretzels). The recipe can be downloaded here.

We are still working on learning are peers names but we are all having lots of fun! Our day goes by so fast and we just never seem to have enough time!
