The count down is on in our classroom! Even before I read the morning message and asked the questions about upcoming dates, the students were trying to figure out how many days until Play Day! Everyone is very excited.
In Math, we watched another Math Monsters video. This time the monsters were trying to make sets of ten. Then students chose how they wanted to make a set of ten by using a butterfly. They had to count out ten stickers, and place some on one wing and the rest on the other wing. At the bottom of the page they had to completed the math sentence "____ + ____ = 10".
We continued with the butterfly theme with the Eric Carle classic The Very Hungry Caterpillar.
Students then made butterflies by coloring coffee filters and making bodies and antennae with pipe cleaners. They will be used to decorate our bulletin board, where we have a "Looking Back, Moving Forward theme." Students photos from September and April are on display, as well as their answers to some questions about Kindergarten and Grade One. 
After the butterflies were complete, we tried out a Cosmic Kids yoga video, which told of an adventure with Squish the Fish! The students did a great job following the story and completing the yoga poses.
After lunch, we read Miss Smith: Under the Ocean and then students told their own underwater adventures that I dictated under their drawings.
I read their adventurous tales to the whole group before reading The Pout Pout Fish in the Big Big Dark. Then we set off to the gym, where we practiced relay races and standing long jump to prepare us for some of the Play Day events.
So, that was our busy day today! It's a hot one outside. I hope everyone can keep cool and maybe we will get a bit of rain for our gardens, grass, and fields. :)
