  We read a variety of books everyday! Every week we create lessons plans that enable children to develop on all areas of development: Physical, Language, Cognitive, and Social and Emotional development. As teachers we want all the children to thrive in all areas.

We welcome parents, extended family, and friends to read to the children. The children enjoy the special time they share with other adults. Please, let us know when you would like to volunteer 15 or 20 minutes of your busy schedule. Thank you!!!

Art:

Recycled plastic cups are an excellent art activity. The children create not only a fantastic art piece, but they learn about colors and shapes. Leo used a square shape and Nathaniel a circle shape cup. 

Leo and Charles are painting with cardboard paper rolls. They both used them as binoculars as well. Fantastic idea! We can make binoculars out paper rolls. Recycled materials are always welcome!!

The children created a splatter painting design on a square black canvas, and the poster board that was protecting the floor from getting painted is our beautiful unintentional art! We will incorporate Jackson Pollock, a well-known artist for his splatter painting art in our splatter painting exploration.

Fine motor activity using tape!

The children can peel it off and stick it back down.  Great for building hand strength!

Leo: “Look Sandra, my muffin!”

Sensory

The children helped the teacher make oobleck by combining water and cornstarch.  The teacher mixed the ingredients and added food coloring.  Some students express the words soft, hard, cold, warm, powder, and WOW! as they engage in this sensory/science activity.

We are exploring colors and lines. The children applied glue on black construction paper and placed one, two, three or more color strips on their paper. Their lines went horizontal, vertically, and parallel. Every arrangement is distinctive and unique. We will continue exploring how simple lines (strip of paper) can create an art piece and learn about colors and lines.
