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!

With a Grateful Heart

I absolutely LOVE my scrapbook! Each page is darling and truly shows the personality of each precious Bunny. I appreciate the gift cards, too, and I know I'll have fun choosing something special. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

Water Play Day

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 wrapped up the fun with popsicles on the porch - the best part, we all agreed!
Most were disappointed to learn they couldn't wear their bathing suits again the next day.

Sorting

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 Day




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!!!
Our gingerbread man left us a clue to find him. We chased him to the big blue barn on the playground, but we just missed him. We chased him to the library and to the Seahorse classroom, but he was just too fast for us. Our last clue suggested we go back to the Bunny room. There he was! Right on the table waiting for us!!
He made a delicious snack. We gobbled him up like hungry foxes!

Patience

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.

Catching Up

The last few weeks of school really got the best of me and I fell down on my blog posts. Summer's here, but I'm going to get caught up anyway. Adventures from May still to come. Stay tuned!
