4-14: spring/bug/garden unit

I'm Fun day today!  We learned all about bees!  

We read this book in story time. In music time we learned two songs about bees.  One was "im picking up my baby bumble bee."  They loved it.  I made little yellow stress balls that they decorated and then sang the song with.  They loved squishing them!  So cute!

Then we learned about bee hives, honeycombs, nectar, and honey.  We made these honeycomb beehives with cereal.  

During snack time we discussed how bees suck nectar from long tongues so we pretended to be bees and sick from long straws.  

I felt some face painting was in order today. They could choose any bug they wanted.  

Then upstairs for centers.  

We had some new "bee" themed sensory  boxes. 

In II we made B bees.  :). So cute!
