Have a VERY lovely Easter!

Theme:  Letter V
"Do you eat your Vegetables?"  There were some really funny responses to that question.  We took turns naming some veggies and then voting to see how many of us would like to eat them.  Carrots were the most popular veggie.  All the Green Veggies received mixed reviews :)  And, it is fascinating to me (even though I was the same way) how children HATE tomatoes and yet LOVE spaghetti sauce, ketchup, and pizza sauce.  The same thing with potatoes...several kiddos didn't want to eat potatoes, but when I asked them who likes chips and french fries, all of them screamed, "ME!"  When I told them those were potatoes, they stared at me dubiously.  We had a fun week!

Choosing Time:  Spelling "V" words, Vegetable & Spring time play dough, Very fast cars, Very big puzzles, ....

  • Vanilla Wafers & Veggies
  • Veggies & Animal Crackers

Science: 
  1. What will happen if we put celery into a cup of blue-dyed water? 
  2. Touch and learn about potatoes--feel the roots...
  3. What is a Vegetable?  Is it a Vegetable or a Fruit?
  4. Our plants are growing nicely.  We are excited to put them in a garden.
