Eric Carle illustrations

Show and Tell: Rosie shared a photo of two baby doves that were hatched from eggs found in a nest near her home. Students asked interesting questions about when the eggs were laid and hatched.

Rosie's Walk: We completed the page for "under the beehives" and began the page for "across the yard". We are near completion, and the children are looking forward to binding and reading their stories with characters that they will create.

Art: After introducing our author study of Eric Carle, we talked about the way he does his illustrations (painting on tissue paper then cutting it out). We then finger-painted our own paper to use once we begin to make our Hungry Caterpillar book.

We also completed a special "secret" project that will be revealed this weekend to families (especially mothers).

Today I received an AMAZING paper quilt created using children's pictures and hand prints. It was the most thoughtful and wonderful gift! I need to find a perfect spot to hang it, but for now it's up on our front board, please stop in and see the beautiful work that went into it. THANK YOU!
