Our mini music makers love to try out new instruments! Ms. Joanie came in today and everyone had a chance to strum the guitar. The boys and girls also had the opportunity to help Ms. Joanie play the Up Down Whistle. It was a lot of fun!

Are classroom is full of mini music makers! The boys and girls are having so much fun exploring new instruments and sounds!

The boys and girls love vegetables…..well, painting with them! Today we read Up, Down, and Around by Katherine Ayres and talked about the different colors of vegetables and their names. Then the  children made vegetable prints with eggplants, peppers and broccoli! It was a fun new way to paint!

It’s hard to believe that the school year has come to and end.  It wouldn’t be complete without some special time to enjoy our friends, favorite activities and watching movies. We had a memorable last two days in our PJ’s!

Friday we read Up, Down and Around by Katherine Ayres . We discovered all kinds of different seeds just in time for Summer!  At small groups the boys and girls used their sorting skills and separated their own bag of seeds based on shape and size. Then they glued each seed onto their seed graph and was able to see how many of each seed they had. What a fun way to learn about seeds and sorting!

Another cooking day is here! Today we read If you give a Moose a Muffin by Laura Numeroff and talked about cooking at home. The boys and girls did a great job adding the ingredients and helping to mix it all together. The children really enjoyed making these yummy Carrot Muffins!

Today we reviewed our shapes by using them to make art! This activity helps the children to improve their hand muscles for writing skills as well their color sense. The children love to paint!

Today we  read Growing Vegetable Soup by Lois Ehlert.  After reading about vegetable soup we made our own! The children helped pour in the vegetables, add the water and stir it up. I hope everyone enjoyed our yummy vegetable soup!

Today we read Jump Frog Jump by Robert Kalan.  As a group we worked on patterning with lily pads and leap frogs. We strenghtened our math skills during small groups and made our own frog patterns. Be sure to check backpacks for our fun frog craft!
