I Have 20 Terrible Wild Things! I Dreamed Them in my Head

This poem was the beginning of our week long study of the fabulous book,

Where the Wild Things Are.

Of course in the poem there were only 5 terrible wild things, but we all wanted to be a wild thing this week. We really dove into this fun book. We listened to the story many times, even on tape, saw the short video, reenacted the story with puppets and made wild thing masks.

It also fit in perfectly with our writing -- book reports. The children did an awesome job remembering all the details from the book.

Finally to top it all off we got to play the role of the wild things!

Let the wild rumpus begin!

Jacob, Eric and Brandon "rolled their terrible eyes!"Kamorri and Kaitylynn and Shophis "showed their terrible claws!"David H. "roars his terrible roar!

Play Day was Awesome!

An Egg Hunt to Remember!

Don't your children look adorable with their bonnets and bunny ears?

Thursday's Egg Hunt was awesome due to our fabulously generous parents! Each child got to hunt for 15 eggs. Wow! It was truly a hunt! And to make it even crazier, Mama Mia wrote numbers on each egg and the children could only pick up the ones with their special number.
To quote Brandon, "It was the best egg hunt ever!"

Madison is pretty in pink.

Grace, a fifth grader, gets ready to help Brandon and Devin.

Kyla is stylin' in her bonnet.

An Egg Hunt!

Remember to send in 12 to 24 plastic eggs and one bag of candy (no hard candy, please!) We need to have them by Wednesday so we can write their names on each one.
Thursday morning we will wear our adorable bonnets and bunny ears and go hunting for those eggs! We will begin around 9:00. You are invited to hop on in and join us for this delightful occasion.
