• celebrated Kate, our Friend of the Week!  We saw her poster, traced her, learned that her favorite book is Cynthia and the Unicorn (thanks Ilana, she donated this book to us), and her favorite state is Arizona (where Roadrunner lives, beep, beep) and lastly she shared her delicious snack of cheese puffs and raisins!!!!!
• dug up dinosaur skeleton bones in the sand table.
• listened to the Good Ms. Padgett sing her stories!  It was a real treat!
• rode trikes.
• talked about the spring break adventures that lay ahead!
• harvested our mushrooms, cooked them and tried them (some Unicorns tried them!)

Brave to try, but not so pleased with  the mushrooms.

Great team work!  Thanks for helping Virginie!!!

Happy Passover and Happy Easter!
See you on Monday, April 16th! James will be the Friend of the Week.
The purple spring break book sent home is a diary that each Unicorn can keep over the break.  It starts on Monday, April 9th after the holiday.  They can record their day through dictation, writing, drawing, photos, etc., whatever works best for you (in the plural)!
