Because we have music class on Fridays, it's usually a silly day where we go outside first. This means we have the playground to ourselves! This gives us a chance to get to know some of classroom friends a little better.
Next it was time for our first music class with Miss Jenna. We had a great time singing, dancing, playing shakers, and drumming!
Here's a link to a short video clip from today's lesson. (I hope this works--my video links aren't always reliable!) https://plus.google.com/photos/104552171069507827929/albums/5923234733454416033?authkey=CIG89pbu9sXEwQE
After music we went to our centers. Although both the blocks and the dollhouse were out at the rug center, everyone chose to play with the dollhouse today! We had a lot of imaginative play going on. I overheard conversations about firemen rescuing pets, kids going to the beach, and making pizza for dinner!
At Miss Paula's center, we continued practicing our cutting and gluing skills. We made collages from old book order forms! Most of all we had a lot of practice and instruction in using scissors and glue correctly.
At Miss Kathleen's center, we used water colors. We learned that without water our watercolor paints were hard and dry. We practiced rinsing our brushes between colors, swirling the brush around to get more color on it, and mixing colors on the paper.
FINALLY, it was time for snack. We had pretzel sticks for our salty snack today and chocolate animal crackers for our sweet snack. We all remembered reading "The Gingerbread Girl Goes Animal Crackers" so we kept our eyes open to make sure there were no sneaky foxes around trying to steal our animal crackers!
Have a great weekend! See you Monday!
