Lions and Lambs

In Like a Lion...
Out Like a Lamb?


Well, we've all heard it before, right? 
 But is it true?

The munchkins had fun this last week of March predicting just how true that old saying is!  We wrote and illustrated our predictions and then graphed them to see what the consensus was.  It was a great opportunity for the munchkins to practice many sight words that they know how to spell, plus practice all the conventions of writing a full sentence:  upper case letters, proper spacing, punctuation and proof-reading.











We had lots of munchkins that were very optimistic that we would have a nice, pleasant, sunny, lamb day to end our month of March (even though March 29 froze us with 24 degree temperatures and snow!)

After our graph was analyzed, each munchkin created a paper plate critter to match his or her prediction.  We had a room full of little lambs!  There were only three lions...


Just who is it behind all those masks?


The fun couldn't stop there, especially considering that it was a Wednesday!  You may not know what that means, but any kindergarten munchkin will tell you...It means it's recipe day!

So we got out the ingredients to make little lions & lambs.


The cookies were too cute...but not as cute as the cooks!




























So did we end up with a lion day or a lamb day today?
Actually, we had a hard time deciding! 
One minute the sun was out. 
The next time we looked, we thought it was about to rain.

That's March for you!

Until next time...
Giggles,
Mrs. D.
