This week we had a fun surprise @ 7 am!  ...frogs at the playground.  No other kids around yet...just us and Annelies.  We were able to get close and really study them. A few were stuck in the sandbox....so K built a bridge for them so they could get out. We talked about their color, how high they can jump....what the 2 frogs on top of each other were doing...where they were all going ...and what they will do etc etc. The whole frog life cycle was discussed.
K came home with several frog coloring pages and we added them to our spring tree! ....K found a special spot for them ...in the sky! Because that is how high they can jump according to K.

K came home with to big packages of  sidewalk chalk after an afternoon of Bingo at school. He was so proud! You should have seen his smiley face. He had won 3 times. The first price he picked was a ball. And the other 2 prices were the sidewalk chalk.
He had a great time with the chalk. ...according to K it makes the same sound as tiles..but it breaks more easily than tiles. He spent some time with a hammer and the chalk. On Saturday afternoon he took it outside and the neighborhood friends joined in. It was good to see everyone again. It has been a long winter.
At the end of the day he was disappointed that he did not have any chalk to draw anymore. ..but he did like that he had had a good time today with his friends.   ...he had a good time..and found out what happens to chalk when you break it...add water to it etc. ...I have already found a recipe online so he can make his own sidewalk chalk.

We set up a practical life activity for the boys this week. ...sorting and folding socks. K had a great time and I only had to show him once how to fold the socks. O enjoyed the socks too. He was filling up the bowl with socks...and emptying it :-)
