We had a boy!

One of our chrysalises hatched today!  We had a boy :)  Ask your firstie how we knew it was a boy.  We read a story called Gotta Go! Gotta Go! to learn more about where our butterfly would be going after we release him this afternoon.

Dozinky Days!

Another free photo slideshow by Smilebox

We had SO much fun celebrating Dozinky Days!  We started our day by greeting each other with "Dobre rano" - Good Morning in Czech.  My mom and dad (Elizabeth and David Bruzek) and Greta's grandma (Denie Sticha) came to help us make kolacky.  We listened to Josef Jirik's dad play the concertina and saw his kroj (Czech costume).  We colored some fun Czech pictures and enjoyed lots of great polka music too!

Alphabet Review

We finished our review of the alphabet - letter names and sounds!  We used the StoryBots to help us.  If your firstie wants to watch them again, here is the first one.  At the end you will be able to click on the next letter, and so on...  Enjoy!

IPICK

Today we learned how to choose "good fit" books.  We got to choose 10 books that are "good fits" for our book bags.  These books will help us become more fluent readers and help us to practice the new strategies we are learning about reading.  Watch the video below to hear a song about the the acronym IPICK that we used when selecting our books.
