Willow Room- MWF class

We read "Ice cream Bear" by Jan Alborough
We asked the children "Do you like ice cream?" "Which flavor is your favorite?"

We painted with back rollers dipped in white tempra paint and rolled on white paper.  It looks like a snowy scene.

We painted snowflake shapes at the easel.

We did The sammy songm Tommy Thumb, and a song with letters.

We made a chart of words that we could think of that started witht he letter A.  We also glued pictures of things that start with the letter A that children brought into school onto our alphabet picture chart.

We painted on pieces of foil at the easel.

We cut out mitten shapes and had the children drip paint onto half of the mitten with an eye dropper.  We folded them over and pressed the paper together, so we had matching mittens.
