THEY'RE SO FLUFFY!
And so our week began, with a classroom full of little "Agneses", thrilled to meet our fluffy little ducklings! (thankfully minus the extra tight "Agnes squeeze").
We are participating in a duckling-raising program through Glenwood Memorial Gardens! We're in charge of naming and caring for our ducklings for 2 weeks. It has been lovely meeting and snuggling with our new little miracles.
We even gave them a little swim this afternoon!
Butterflies
We've all read The Very Hungry Caterpillar, by Eric Carle, but have you ever really examined the illustrations? Mr. Carle has a unique method for making designed, textured paper and then cutting it into the pieces for his pictures.
We followed Mr. Carle's paper-making technique to make butterflies! First we painted our paper. We added drips and drops in every colour!
Once our paper had dried, we used tracers to cut out the shapes to make a butterfly. A little glue, and ta da! Colourful, Carle-inspired butterflies!
