While the boys were off playing in the trees, Anna Kate was busy discovering the egg contraption Mrs. Paula set-up for the kids to explore.  Anna Kate couldn’t stop talking about how much fun the egg drop tunnels were!  Such a clever idea, as always!

After outside play, it was time for the birthday girls to make their birthday cupcakes.  Mrs. Paula let’s each birthday kid make their cupcakes for the class on their birthday.  It’s such a neat tradition, and the kids love it!  It was Anna Kate, Brielle, and Mrs. Julie’s birthdays last week, so the three of them had special time together baking their cupcakes!

I love this picture of Mrs. Julie and Anna Kate smiling at each other.  I’m pretty sure this picture happened right as Mrs. Julie was asking Anna Kate if she wanted to take a turn stirring the mix.

Great picture, Mrs. Paula!  The girls are deep into their cooking project!

Brielle’s turn to mix!

 

Awww, such sweet girls!  Happy birthday Mrs. Julie, Brielle, and Anna Kate!!!

 

Another day last week, the kids got to enjoy one of Anna Kate’s favorite activities… painting!!!

 

She simply loves it!

And then there was another zoo day!  I’m telling you, Anna Kate’s school is so amazing, and we are so blessed she gets to do all this fun stuff at school!  And you can’t imagine the things that I don’t show you guys on the blog that they do as well.  She brings home the most creative letter art.  We have a box full of all of her letter creations.  And… Mrs. Paula does a letter book and journal for them in the form of a scrapbook of all of their experiences throughout the year.  It’s unbelievable!

Looks like he’s snapping his fingers saying, “Aww man!”  I love this picture!

 

King of the jungle!

Mike and I were trying to guess how many zoo visitors sing, “When I was a young wart hog…” from Lion King when they pass this little fella each year!?!  Lol…

 

The zebras are always a hit!

I couldn’t believe the tiger meat was just hanging up there like that.  It would have been so neat to watch them jump for it and chow down!

Anna Kate is always very precautious of everything at first…

but once she understood the great white tiger couldn’t get out from behind the window, she stepped a little closer to observe.

Love these sweet little faces!

Had to include these pictures, because the rhinoceros was Anna Kate’s favorite animal this visit!

Can’t forget the elephants!

What an awesome week at pre-school!  Hope you enjoyed these pictures of Anna Kate discovering new things as much as we did!  Go girl!
