Willow Room: MWF class

We did a felt board story of the itsy bitsy spider, by Keith Chapman

We asked the child "Do you like spiders? Why? Why not?

We painted small paper plates with black paint because they will become our itsy bitsy spiders.

We sang Itsy bitsy spider, and The little fish song.

We had chalk and water at the easels.

We began our theme of nursery rhymes today.

Maple Room:

We read "Alphabet Adventure" by Audrey Wood

We did fun painting today using trucks wheels dipped in paint and we drove them back and forth over paper.

We had alphabet stampers and paint at the easel.

We sang The March song, months song, 5 little shamrocks, speckled frogs, and pass the hammer.

We did some letter S activities and we did a guessing game called "ABracadabra, what letter is missing? This game is played by placing a few alphabet letters in order on the magnetic board and turning it around. Then we remove one letter and the children take turns guessing which letter is the one that is gone.

Oak Room:

We read "What the moon sees/What the sun sees" by Nancy Tafuri and Sheep Blast off! by Margot Apple

We worked in our journal notebooks, drew u and v pictures

We had a shape board game out, and magnetic alphabet match, we also had space matching game.

We read "tap you toes and follow me", we used shakers and sang "purple people eaters"

We started our estimating jar, how many pegs are in the jar, make a guess and then we count them to see how many are in the jar.
