 Happy Monday from Mrs. Mudd's Class!

One quick reminder...

Vacation Bible School at Zion...Venture to “Rainforest Falls" at VBS from June 15-19. We will discover the nature of God, and explore what it means to be rooted in relationship with their creator. Children who are 3 years old (and potty-trained) by June 15, 2026 up to children entering 6th grade in the 2026-2027 school year are invited to participate. For additional information and to register: https://vbspro.events/p/zionlutheranchurch

Here we go...

Mrs. Mudd led us in animal lego BINGO!  She grabbed a lego out of the box, each friend had to see if he/she had the match on his/her BINGO card!  Once you got all of your pieces, put your animal together!  We sure had fun, and we didn't even know we were practicing patience, identification of colors, matching skills, small motor control,  spatial awareness, and hand-eye coordination!

What animal did you get to build?!?!?

Tricky Mouse was back and he brought squirrels with letters on them. We did a great job of identifying/recognizing letter names and sounds to find that tricky mouse (each time he hid from us)! Oops...I forgot to take a pic.

Some of these little critters are still holding on as larvae, some have entered the pupa stage...we are excited to see them ALL enter the pupa stage any day now!!!

We took a little time discussing the four stages of a ladybug again. Stage 3 is the pupa.  After some observation, each friend drew stage 3 in his/her lifecycle of a ladybug journal.  We are quite excited to see metamorphosis take place from pupa to ladybug in our classroom!

We changed to our rain boots and enjoyed time outside before the crazy weather rolled in!!!

Time for small groups (centers)!

We strengthened the finger, wrist, and hand muscles as we cut plastic straws with scissors...

Oh no!!! Our caterpillar needed some help being put back together!  His body is numbered from 1 - 20, our job was to put him back in order from 1 - 20 or 20 - 1!  Success for some was leading the group, asking for the next number. Success for others was finding the next number and placing it next in our "caterpillar puzzle".

We improved our writing and drawing skills as we wrote/drew about something fun we are looking forward to this summer...

And...center #4 is TOP SECRET!  Some of you just might get to see what we were up to, in a couple weeks!

During Jesus Time today Zippy helped us remember that we always have a friend in Jesus! He is with us wherever we go, even though we can't see Him. He is in our hearts!

Thanks for stopping by...
