We finished up our unit on All About Me with more focus on our 5 senses this past week.  The children got to try sea salt painting.  This paint has texture and a bit of sparkle.  We chose the colors of the sea, which ties right in with our next unit, Florida!

 

 

 

 

On Friday, Picture Day, we kept our art project to a simple gluing project.  The children made Mr. Potato Head and we discussed our 5 senses.  It was interesting seeing where all of his parts ended up on the paper! Notice some of the children in the background, actually putting Mr. Potato Head together. 

 

 

 

Dress up is ALWAYS fun!

 

 

 


In the next few weeks, we will be learning all about where we live, FLORIDA!

 



 

This weeks' theme was "All About Me".  I brought in a scale and we have a measuring chart in our room.  It was fun to see how big we are!  We read a great book, How Colossal Are You?  The children heard all sorts of comparative words for size. Big, little, small, huge, enormous, colossal and then all the way down to itty bitty.

The children played with toys that helped reinforce the theme, All About Me.  They had books and manipulative toys that helped them with the concepts of our bodies, our home and family. 

 

On Friday, we started talking about our 5 Senses.  Mr. Potato Head is a GREAT tool for learning about our senses and fun!

How many arms do you have ?  Are your eyes above your nose?  Hmmmmmm

 

What better way to explore senses, then with Kool Aid paint!  The children could smell the paint, see the paint and in some cases, feel the paint. :)  It was a kool project!  Of course, I was probably the only one who really knew what Kool Aid was!

 

                               

 
                 

Oranges for snack.  The children used 4 senses, sight, taste, smell and touch.



 

 

 



 

We continued with Nursery Rhymes this week. 

 

On Monday the children worked on Baa, Baa ________ sheep.

 

The children got to pick their favorite color!

  

 

 

On Wednesday, the children discovered eggs!  The children learned the Nursery Rhyme, Humpty Dumpty. We talked about what happens to them when they get a boo boo.  I showed them a real egg and I dropped it into a bowl. Once they saw what happen to the egg, we decided that a band aid could NOT fix Humpty! The children had fun with eggs in the classroom and they learned about the shape "oval". 

 

 

 

 

 

On Friday the children learned Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star.  The children got to paint AND use glitter!  FUN!
