Mrs. Paula took her students to a very special exhibit called Butterflies in the Garden at the Botanic Garden in March!  Her pictures make my heart flutter! 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Aren’t these pictures awesome!  I’ll treasure them always!

 

Lots of learning and experimenting!

  

 

Learning all about cocoons and the life cycle of the butterfly.  My sweet shy (at first) middle with a very caring exhibit hostess. 

 

Love the pre-school eyeball poke!  Boys are so cool, lol!

Anna Kate spots a statue she’s into…

 

Running up for a hug!  Aww, sweet girl and the moments Mrs. Paula captures for us!

 

“I Spy” letters and numbers with flashlights!  Anna Kate is to the far left with the longest light tale.  I can see her enthusiasm and she couldn’t stop talking about how much fun this game was with her friends at school!  Next, on to one of the many favorite activities Anna Kate looks forward to at Mrs. Paula’s: getting to make her very own birthday cupcakes at school!  She loves it!

 

 

  

Happy 5th birthday, Anna Kate!  You are so loved at school and at home and everywhere your bright sunshiny spirit goes!

 

Garden pic from Mrs. Paula’s garden of goodness and a wonderful lesson Anna Kate loved!  She said, “You HAVE to post this picture on the blog!  These books were so alike and so different…” and went on to tell me what happened in both stories!  I’m so excited for Rose is starting her adventures with Mrs.Paula and Mrs. Julie (her right hand) but am getting super sentimental I won’t be receiving these amazing pictures of Anna Kate’s happy days next year!  Kids, why do they have to grow up!?!

*As always, these are Mrs. Paula’s pic that she so graciously shares with all of us!
