Hi everyone, on Thursday we discussed houseboats. The girls learned that these types of homes float in the water and they both thought that was cool. They looked at pictures of different style houseboats. Then the girls created a house with the shape manipulatives.

Friday, the girls learned about castles. They were excited to know there are queens, kings, princess, and princes that live in them. Then we looked at pictures of different castles.  During arts and crafts the girls made castle crowns, they really had fun gluing the gems on. I also showed them pictures of crowns. Later on they put together a really cool dragon.

Dramatic Play-Produce

017

 

Hello everyone, this week I turned dramatic play into a little market. I displayed the fruits and vegetables for the girls. Then we went outside and grabbed some leaves to use for money.

The girls really enjoyed this change in dramatic play. Things they enjoyed about The Little Market was exchanging leaves for fruits and vegetables to fill up the grocery cart and taking turns being the storekeeper.

During arts and crafts the girls made “My Little Garden.” They cut  out vegetables and fruit shapes and added pictures of produce from the paper.

At the end of the day the girls played the game “Rabbit Relay.” They scattered the produce cards on the table and pretended the rabbits were invading the garden.

Leaves and Flowers

May 11-12 ,2015  Mother Goose Time

Hello everyone, on Monday the girls learned about leaves. We went outside and looked a several different types of leaves on the trees. Then we did the Living Leaf Science Project. I put a bag over one leaf to see how much water we would collect off of it.  We checked on the leaf a couple of days later and there wasn’t too much water in the bag.

During arts and crafts time, I discussed the parts of a plant and they created plant diagram with the provided materials. We also went over the parts of the plant during the project. For math they connected the dots and for literacy the girls drew a picture of what critters they would see in the garden and wrote a small story.
