This week we introduced two new toys for work time. Everybody showed a
lot of interest for our new items, the blender and the train with the
train tracks. We are slowly introducing new toys and teaching our
students how to play and take care of them. Pete and Elsa showed a lot
of interest in these new items and very excited to play with them.
This week we also introduced watercolors for the first time and it was
a great new material for them to learn to use. We water-colored
butterflies and some animals for our jungle project. We are on the
third stage of the project first we used paint and brushes to make a
green background of leaves and vegetation, then we added color paper
tree trunks and now we’ll add our finished water-colored animals. We
have parrots, anacondas, monkeys and frogs that we’ll be adding next
week.
Our week song was another familiar one, Old McDonald had a farm, we
used pictures and stuffed animals to engage our students in the song
and help them visualize the farm animals. It was great to see them
participating and excited about finding the right animal we were
singing about.
We’ll start with our Halloween decorations next week!
