The letter B


Yesterday was "B" day!
We celebrated our letter of the day by wearing a butterfly dress, remembering some of our favorite B words (balloons, beach, and bugs!) on a collage to add to the ABC scrapbook, by going to the library and picking out lots of books, by running around the house acting out B words (bees, birds, butterflies, bouncy balls, etc), and by making a delicious butternut squash soup!
