This week the 1A friends explored and painted pumpkins, investigated apples, and leaves, and enjoyed circle time in Washington Market Park.
Pumpkins Exploration:
When exploring the classroom pumpkins the students were very curious about the stem!
Before painting their white pumpkins, the children explored them- gently rubbing their hands across the pumpkin's smooth, rippled skin
The children showed interest by mouthing the hard pumpkins and rolling them across their work stations.
As they began smearing the paint over the pumpkins slick skin, the pumpkins became slippery and hard to grasp onto!
Excellent painting, 1A students!
Carving Our Classroom Pumpkin and Exploring Pumpkin Guts:
The children were hesitant to touch the insides of our classroom pumpkin but quickly warmed up. Deeply focused, the students slowly reached for the pumpkin guts and placed their hands inside the carved pumpkin.
Investigating Apples and Leaves!
Water Play and Leaves: The weather is getting colder and the leaves are changing colors.
Our inquisitive 1A students explored the fall leaves on the illuminated light table and in the water sensory bin-discovering the different shapes, sizes and colors.
The children grasped the leaves from the sensory bin and squeezed them tightly in their hands, crushing the crisp leaves between their little fingers- enjoying the sound and texture of the wet, crunchy leaves.
Circle Time in Washington Market Park!
Thank you, 1A families!
Have a great weekend.
