Preschool: April 9-12, 2012

This week we went on a picture scavenger hung. This was the first picture and this is where we stopped, meditated, said the pledge, and began our hunt. Unfortunately we chose a very warm day to be out in the fresh air, because it got very tiring and sweaty for all of us. With that note, I will guide us along the route down 7th street, onto Horne, down 6th place, then Olive over to 6th Street and back. I think on the long run, the boys had a good time. I hope they learned a few things about the way nature acts this time of year.

On Horne, at the Dunaway house these beautiful flowers climbed over the block fence.

On to 6th place and Devin had this picture to find, so he got to stand by it so he could prove he had spotted it.

It is always good to point out the fire hydrant and explain what they are used for and how our fire department works. Oakley had this picture

Rockwell had this picture. This is Arlene Wights house and she told me that each boy could pick one flower and we were to be sure to look for the racoon, turtle, sprite, worms, and snail that were among the flowers.

Oakley found this odd shaped tree formation

The other boys liked it so much they wanted to have their picture taken here, too.

This is one of the many cactus plants that grow on that street. Jack found it!

This flower was at the corner of the Farnsworths house and Jack ran right to it!

When we got to the end of 6th place and on to Olive, Devin found his first lamppost picture

Turning onto 6th Street at the Montagues we found another beautiful flower this was Oakley's find

And what to our surprise, we found our destination, the park at the townhouses, which we had asked permission to use--the boys were afraid that the police would take them away, but I assured them that we were allowed to be there.

Right across the street Jack spotted one of his pictures, this little cactus garden with the beautiful yellow flowers

As we turned on to Olive, Rockwell spotted this tall palm tree and stood for his picture

Right by the tree were these beautiful flowers and we just had to have a picture of these

On the corner of 7th and Olive is this pine tree and nice shade, which all the boys were in dire need of because they "were dieing"

A neighborhood alert sigh. Oakley found this in front of the Miles house.

And, finally we have our house in sight but not before Jack had this picture to sign off

Now where was the last picture to be found?? Well, Oakley was the first to find the front window with the blue glassware. Our final destination!! A hot day, but I think they did have fun.

Then we all went inside and cooled off with a little snack with juice and then got in the mood for our marshmallow, speghetti and toothpick creations. Here are Jack and Devin beginning to test their skills.

Rockwell named his the red protector spider Oh yes, we got out the red food coloring and made orange with it so we had a good time with painting the objects, too
