This Past Week.. Cinco de Mayo

Last week we celebrated Cinco de Mayo! We made lots of amazing crafts, including maracas, chili peppers, and sombreros!

But before we get into that, I just wanted to give a great big and special thank you to the amazing parent that made this beautiful "teacher cake" full of wonderful supplies! We are so grateful for the thought, time, and effort that went into creating such a sweet gift!
Happy Teacher Appreciation Week!



And now, Cinco de Mayo....




You can find these adorable chili peppers hanging in the classroom right now!


Here you can see some of the practice we had with our shape of the week (ovals). The children used toilet paper rolls, and squished them to make an oval shape.

And these are just a preview of what's to come for next week :)
