Meredith is having a great time in the three year old classroom at Stay and Play. Most of her friends from last year have returned, and her new teachers are really fun. They have gone to the park every day, and Meredith has lots of fun playing in the leaves. She loves 'gathering' and has brought home special leaves or rocks every day. Her teacher started a 'Wonder Bowl' at school for all the kids to put their nature treasures in after they return from the park.

| Meredith and Simon are in the Nature Center, they are examining Flowers using magnifying glasses and other tools. |
Last week the class talked about insects and pollination, they had a special snack of cheetos and pretended the orange dust on their fingers was pollen, just like bees collect in on their legs. There have also been many insect visitors to the classroom in the nature center - a praying mantis, wooly bear caterpillar, swallow tail caterpillar and more.
The class has also begun their alphabet unit, they started with A for Apple,
then B for butterfly, C for Caterpillar.... and will continue throughout
the year. They have made a craft for each letter, see Meredith with her butterfly in the picture above.
Meredith is loving painting and crafting this year. She brings home many projects each week, a favorite has been making friendship bracelets out of beads and pipe cleaners. She is enjoying school so much and even stays for lunch and adventure afternoons once a week. We are so glad to see her having such a wonderful time with her teachers and friends, she just loves school!
