It's naptime for the Bunny Rabbit blog. Come back in August to see all the preparation and excitement for a new class of Bunnies.
Night, night!
Visit this blog to see the wonderful ways the children in the Bunny Rabbit class at School for Little Children LEARN THROUGH PLAY!
Our last big hoorah of the year was Water Play Day. We spent the entire morning outside getting wet. There were so many activities, the Bunnies hardly knew what to choose! We had shaving cream and watercolor on bubble wrap, fishing, bathing babies, a car wash, an ice pool (brrr!), watering the garden, and a water slide. By far, Callie and Parker had the most fun. Those two tried it all. They were wet, gooey and smiley for three solid hours! Mrs. Magee named them "Number 1 Water Boy" and "Number 1 Water Girl".
We had a chore to do, and it turned out Bradley was guy to get it done! We had a large stack of books to return to the library. Bradley sorted the them by the colored tape on the spines of the books and put the books into piles. He made shelving them much faster for Mrs. Magee and I. Thanks, Bradley!

Gingerbread in May? Certainly! We spent some time reading the story of the Gingerbread Man - in various versions. We decided to make our own gingerbread man. Gabriel's mom prepared the dough. The children pressed the dough into the huge cookie cutter and then decorated our guy with raisins. Then Gabriel's mom took him to the oven for us. While he was baking, we read the Gingerbread Girl. Her story turns out quite differently than her brother's. After the story, we went to the oven to get our big cookie, but guess what?!!! He was gone!!!
At the end of the school year, it is amazing to see what the children can do. Most of them have turned four by the end of May and, in general, their level of patience and perseverence has grown significantly. Look how many buttons Sarah has strung on this necklace. She kept going long after I took this picture, too.
