Tuesday - February 24

Welcome back Chipmunks and families from another school vacation. I hope once again that you were able to enjoy the time off with your children. Here we are now looking forward to the month of March and waiting for signs of spring. But it appears that March is coming in as a lion. But you know what? Your chipmunks came back to circle with a windy roar also. Yes that's right. We read the book "WINDS" which took us on to a windy journey of flying leaves, floating clouds, rustling papers. After exploring the book we decided that it would be important to act like scientists and perform an experiment with air. So with just the aide of cotton balls and a few plastic straws we saw what happened to the cotton ball with just a blow threw the straw. We also could experiment with the feel of the wind just by blowing on the palms of our hands.

Wednesday - February 25

Our Wednesday adventure included a rhyming song "Everybody do this just like me" which was acted out with our morning guest Mr. Elephant (of course which is from our lovable stuffed animal collection). The Chipmunks had fun laughing and imitating his moves and came up with their own ideas too. This fun was followed up by reading and singing along to the book "THE WHEELS ON THE BUS" a book children never get tired of.

Please continue to read on for more Chipmunk adventures. We welcome your feedback.
