What a wonderful state to live! We started the week reading the book "M is for Magnolia" .We learned so much about our state. We even learned how to spell it. M-I-crooked letter-crooked letter-I-crooked letter-crooked letter-I-hump back-hump back-I.
Several of the kids brought in facts about our state too. We learned that our state toy is the teddy bear, our state drink is milk, our state flower and tree is the magnolia, our state water fowl is the wood duck and our state stone is petrified wood.
Thank you Walker for bring in the magnolia leaves and a clay dish of Mississippi and thank you
Lane for letting us hold a piece of petrified wood. (Try explaining petrified wood to a bunch of 5 year olds. I know they really think I made that up.)
I would like to take a moment a brag a little about my kinders.
They are doing an awesome job on writing sentences each day
and their coloring skills are WONDERFUL.
Just color me proud!!!
Well, we had a little lesson in patience these past couple of weeks. Our leaf hunt was postponed a couple of times due to rainy weather :( but we got to go today.
Our mission was to find different fall leaves. We looked for a red leaf, a yellow leaf, an orange leaf, a brown leaf, a green leaf and even a purple leaf. We also put on our list a PDS leaf (green and gold, of course) and a magnolia leaf.
Now we said they could not pick any leaves off of the trees but we helped a few magnolia leaves that were "just about ready to fall anyway"...
During the hunt we stopped long enough to check out the bark of the trees. It was very interesting to see how different tree trunks can be.
Finally we made it back to the room. After a mini lesson on magnifing glasses, we were ready to examine our treasures.
We found all the leaves on our list and some extra surprises too. Some had sweet gum balls, cypress balls, acorns, and one spider.
The grass withers and the flowers fall
but the Word of God stands forever!
Isaiah 40:8
