This week was filled with Farm related activities. On the rug we had two different floor puzzles for the children to complete.
In the loft in the exploratorium, the children used their imaginations using the large wooden barn and farm animals!
Housekeeping in the exploratorium included hats to wear as the farmers cook up a healthy breakfast!
Oh, do you know who says moo, moo? (Tune: Muffin Man)
Who says moo, moo?
Who says moo, moo?
Oh, do you know who says moo, moo?
The milk cow says moo, moo!!
The children delighted in pretending to milk a cow. They pulled on the "udders" of a glove filled with white paint and watched it squirt onto blue paper, the table, and even the floor!
Next week, the children will tell the teachers what they see in the painted paper using their imaginations. We will reread It Looks like Spilt Milk by Charles Shaw to spark their creativity!
We created a banner by mixing red/rojo and white/blanco to create pink/rosado paper. The teachers will cut a a pig to decorate the classroom from this paper!
Mr. Murphy read The Napping House by Audrey Wood on Wednesday.
He challenged us to remember the order of the animals laying atop of the Granny!
Painting with dry tempera cakes was an exploratorium activity this week.
The children were taught to rinse their brushes before they chose the next color and to clean out the water cup to get it ready for the next person.
Friday was a very busy day! We started the day by attending the JK Pet Show.
This is one of Mrs. Samuel's friends from last year showing his pet frog.
The theme for exploring was mixing red/rojo and yellow/amarillo to create orange/ananrajado!
For snack, we mixed red and yellow sugar in our yogurt. In Mrs. Mundell's classroom, mixing red and yellow paint using potato mashers and rollers on a banner was lots of fun. With the help of one of our parents we mixed red and yellow watercolor in a baggie filled with shaving cream. Mixing red and yellow playdough was an activity in our classroom. Mixing red and yellow watercolors using medicine droppers and pipettes was still another mixing activity.
Whoo! It was sooooooooooo much fun!!
Please return your Fall Festival Form as soon as possible. Thanks!!
