Down on the Farm
Hi everyone, it’s been awhile since I’ve done a post. However, the kids have really been enjoying the farm theme. Last week the children learned about farm animals such as chickens, sheep, horse, pig, and cow.
They learned about chickens on Monday. The kid’s looked at a picture of a chicken and touched some feathers.  On Wednesday the kid’s learned about Sheep.  Then they created their  own sheep.
I’m behind on post but I will post this weeks next.
Science Lab- States of Matter
Hello everyone, this month with Mother Goose Time we will be learning about science. So Monday we kicked it off learning about Properties of Matter and the kids were excited. Tuesday the children learned about States of Matter.
I wanted the kids to see solid, liquid and, gas and I explained to them how the ice turns into liquid and liquid into gas. So I gave them all a piece of ice so they could have hand on experience watching the ice melt into a liquid.
 
The next activity was Molecule Discovery.
 
Later on the children made Liquid Solid Blob  art project.
 
The last activity was Dramatic Play Digging.
H is for Hippopotamus
Hello everyone, on Friday with Mother Goose Time we talked about the hippopotamus. The first activity we did was
“H is for Hippo.” The girls read MGT, I Can Read “Animals A-Zoo book.”
Then the girls played “Hippo Safety.” I set up an obstacle course so the girls can understand how hippos can run fast for a short distance before slowing down.
 
Later on the girls played “Hippo Moves” game.
 
Then built shelters for the animals.
