ART CLASS 11-11-10

BUSY BUILDERS!

During our Free Choice yesterday afternoon, we had some busy builders in the construction zone!

Computer Class!

We played a matching color game during computer class yesterday and today!  The game was called 

Bloople's Colors!

We had to listen to the directions and match up the colors with the animals.

Once we finished that game, we got to do a similar game but with shapes then numbers!

Discovery Day! 5 Senses!

We just started a new "unit" for Discovery Day!  We will be exploring our 5 Senses!  

Today we read a story called My 5 Senses and discussed all our our senses.  We then broke into two groups and read our focus story Hear This!  (We will focus on a different sense every Discovery Day)

We played a game called 'Eggs Full of Sounds' and used our sense of sound to try and guess what was in the eggs.  We discovered that this is a lot harder than it sounds!

  

CARROT CAKE CUPCAKES!

ART CLASS 11-3-10

In today's Art Class, Mr. Cicetti talked about Color.  He also introduced oil pastels.  These are a type of crayon made of oil.  After making a design with oil pastels, Mr. Cicetti demonstrated how to use water colors over the pastels.  He explained to the children that oil and water don't mix so the oil tells the water, "Get off my back!".  

 

In the photos below, children are engaged in various art activities.

Thursday... Swimming!

We had a great day swimming today!  We practiced putting our face underwater and floating on our back.  Our next swimming day will not be until the 15th of November!  Please remember to dress your child in clothes that he/she can take off and put back on independently.  Please NO tights for the girls!  It makes our dressing and undressing go much faster when the children are able to do it themselves!
