Eva celebrated her Fifth Birthday with her family yesterday. She likes the colors purple and pink. She wanted "balloons that float." She has three older sisters and an older and younger brother! Eva likes to make people laugh. She likes Frozen, Disney Princesses, reading, writing, making cards, and eating spaghetti and candy (and fruits and veggies!) She had a tricky birth and we are so lucky to have this little, fun lady in our family.

We learned about the letter W. We realized that if we held hands with a friend, we could make a W!

Janeen Brady's songbook "I
Have a Song for You
If All the
Raindrops If all the raindrops
were lemon drops and gumdrops
Oh, what a rain that would
be!
Standing outside, with my
mouth open wide
Singing La la la la, la la
la, la la la,
If all the raindrops were
lemon drops and gumdrops
Oh, what a rain that would
be!
If all the snowflakes were candy bars and milkshakes
Oh, what a snow that would

Standing outside, with my
mouth open wide
Singing La la la la, la la
la, la la la,
If all the snowflakes were
candy bars and milkshakes
Oh, what a snow that would
be!
If all the sunbeams were bubble gum and ice cream
Oh, what a sun that would
be!
Standing outside, with my
mouth open wide
Singing La la la la, la la
la, la la la,
If all the sunbeams were
bubble gum and ice cream
Oh, what a sun that would
be!
*Our Class Rainstorm:
Our class simulated a
rainstorm by patting pants (like rain)--slow than faster, some students
snapped, some clicked their tongues, some students clapped, and some
students hit shoes on the ground. It was fun to listen to the storm we created with our
hands and feet!

The weather has been "April Foolin'" us today! First it was rainy, then sunny, then overcast, and then sunny again!
What time is it Mr.
Raindrop? This is a
fun game to play outside. You can change the name to suit any theme. The
children all line up against a wall or fence. And one child, Mr. Raindrop or
the teacher faces away from the children, a good distance away from the
children. The children yell, what time is it "Mr. Raindrop"? Mr.
Raindrop answers 1 o'clock, and the children all take one step toward Mr.
Raindrop.
The children yell again, what time is it "Mr. Raindrop"? Mr. Raindrop answers (fill in the blank) o'clock, and the children all take same number of step toward Mr. Raindrop.
This continues until all the children are very close to Mr. Raindrop, then Mr. Raindrop will answer,"It's midnight!," and chases the children back to the fence or wall that they started at.
The first person Mr. Raindrop touches will be the new Mr. Raindrop.
