Activities for Wednesday, April 7, 2010

Willow Room- MWF class

We read "The umbrella day" by Nancy Evans Cooney and we asked the children if they have an umbrella.

We worked on our Mother's day gifts for art today. We had watercolors at the easels with an umbrella shape.

We had a felt picture book, bug puzzles, magnetic letters, ans some sorting activities out today. We have some new science texture materials too.

We did some action songs in the hallway today as we could not use the gym and it was raining outside. We did warm up time, moving every day, and bean bag rock.

For music we did a raindrop umbrella rhyme, sang Hello everybody, yes indeed, and may there always be sunshine.

Maple Room:

We read "The very hungry caterpillar" by Eric Carle

We painted egg cartons with green paint to make the body of a caterpillar. We painted butterfly shapes at the easels.

We sang the April song, from head to toe, Freeze dance with bell belts, and Jump Jim Joe also using the bell belts.

We did some letter "R" activities and did a rhyming game.

Oak Room:

We read "Fish is Fish" by Leo Lionni

We drew "Z" pictures in our journals today and we took the children in small groups to play a listening lotto game- called sounds at home.

We had some sea shell sorting, attribute blocks with trays, and some colored keys for sorting.

We sang some songs today and we recorded the children singing which we will record onto a CD to play for the children. We sang Herman the worm, this old man, and the alphabet sounds songs.

We did some sink and float experiments with different objects.
