HAPPY VALENTINE’S DAY FROM THE 2’S/3’S
Language and Literacy
When asked the children what Valentine’s Day is and we came up with : That we decorate, we put on costumes with hearts, heart shape items, and that we love papa and mommy. We read some more books about friendships and made card for each other.
ART
Working together, this week we did a lot of group projects when it came to making art. We made self portraits with our pre-k friends on a big poster board (which you can find in our middle room). We also drew with different shades of red, pink, and purple. Instead of using paint brushes we used toilet paper rolls shaped as hearts to stamp on paper.
SENSORY
Our sensory bin always has a fun surprise in it. This week we had oats to feed the animals and later in the week we had Valentine’s themed cloud dough. We also explored clay since we were using it so often to make Valentine’s Day gifts.
BUILDING WITH BLOCKS AND MAGNETS
Sam has been asking everyday to build more and more and was very excited for me to take photos to show his mom. Sebastian also joined in and built a train track for Sam’s building which Sam told me grass grows from the top. We got new magnetic tiles and the children have been using them everyday.
ENJOY THE LONG WEEKEND!
