This week in K we opened the new science station....sunflowers! 
Thanks to all who donated seed heads and live flowers. The kids have been enjoying the discovery process! 

Haha!  I put a sticky note letter I on the kids and said "I've got my eye on you! "

After that,  they would put that I on a friend and say the same thing!  

Did they play that trick on you?  

These kids are so funny!
