For stories, we read:

We guessed the names of some flowers:
Old MacDonald Had a Farm
5 Little Fishes
5 little fishes swimming in the sea,
Teasing Mr. Shark, "You can't catch me!"
Along comes Mr. Shark, quiet as can be,
And ... chomp!
4 little fishes ... 3, 2, 1, until no little fishes are left.
For our craft, we made a flower:
Materials:
- Jumbo craft stick
- Cupcake liners
- Buttons
- Markers
How-To:
- Turn one cupcake liner inside out. Place a drop of glue on the inside of one cupcake liner, then place the inside-out one inside it. This way you have colour front and back.
- Decorate your craft stick to be the stem of your flower.
- Place a drop of glue at the top of the stick, then attach your cupcake liners to it. Place a drop of glue inside the "flower", and attach a button to be the pollen.
- Voila, you have a flower!
For snack, we had some scrumptious apples!
Next week, we're getting messy and making some giraffes!
