It was a busy week! We began our first study of the year about monsters, saw friends working together to create, finished our self-portraits, used our breath to create art, and went on our first walk around the neighborhood.
Monster Study
We have noticed a lot of monster play over the past week and wanted to find out more from the children. At our first discussion this week, we asked the children what they know about monsters. Afterward, they created individual monsters. Throughout the week we read Leonardo the Terrible Monster, There Was an Old Monster, and Go Away Big Green Monster!. The children have also created monsters using play-dough and googly eyes.
Teamwork
Now that the children have settled in, they are starting to form great relationships. As a result, they are working together more often to create various structures.
Self-portraits
We finished our self-portraits for the month of September.
