Bugs!!!

This week we are learning about bugs and insects! It's spring time in Texas which means the flowers are blooming and so are all the bugs! We are dicovering types of insects, the parts of insects, what they eat and their life cycles. We will be busy reading about bugs, observing them, sorting them (fake bugs of course) and creating them!
Today we made a beetle with homemade puffed paint. Here is the recipe if you would like to try at home, it was so easy!

1 tablespoon self-raising flour

a few little drops of food colouring

1 tablespoon salt

Then add some water to make a nice smooth paste.
Paint away on a nice thick sheet of cardboard (if you don’t have enough paint brushes use cotton buds – they work really well).
Microwave the design on high for 10 – 30 seconds until the paint puffs and it’s all nice and dry. We did ours for 30 seconds.

I hope you all have a blessed week!

Grandparent's Day

This is a reminder that this Friday, April 12 is Grandparent’s Day at CCS. All the students will be participating in a performance for their grandparents at 10:00am on Friday in the Parish Hall. After the program we will be serving cookies and lemonade, and then the grandparents are invited back to the school to visit our class and pick up a special gift made from each student. I plan on having the children make 2 sets of gifts for their grandparents, but if they have more or less grandparents coming, please let me know ASAP. Parents, of course, are more than welcome to come as well. If you have any questions please email me back.

Blessings,
