On Tuesday we began our week very busy but fun, we started our day with Spanish, this time the children enjoyed listening to the Spanish songs and dancing as well! Some songs we danced to during our Spanish class were:
Buenos Dias
Como Esta El Clima
Hola Que Tal?
“Puedes hacer una cara feliz?
Hasta mañana
We then enjoyed our cooking class with Diane! We made a apple
After our cooking class we all gathered as a class and made our first fall sensory bag, before doing this we explored the different leaves and their different colors. Afterwards we all worked on our fine motor strength by squeezing gel into a ziploc bag and then of course putting the leaves of our choice inside the bag. We all then took turns mixing the clear gel with the orange watercolor!
On Wednesday we went out on a trip to the market! We all picked our individual pumpkins and then our classroom pumpkin!! Children enjoyed the task that was given to them, they all enjoyed digging inside the box in order to find their special pumpkins. While doing this children worked hard on their hand eye coordination along with gross and fine motor skills
Thursday was a fun day filled with art! We decided to paint and decorate our individual pumpkins by using two colors, orange and black! We gave the children spoons to observe how they would experiment these two objects. Children first used the spoon to pour paint on their pumpkins and then gradually began using their hands!
On Friday we worked on our self-portraits for this month! In the morning children painted on mirrors while also looking at their reflection, other friends decided to explore their bodies along with the bodies of the babies with paint. In the afternoon children sat down having a mirror along with a sharpie and blank paper in front of them. We encourage the children to look at their reflection while they work on their self-portrait.
Have a great weekend!
