We have a lot going on in class these days! We continued with our rodeo theme today by making bandanas.

 

We are also beginning our units on basic concepts.  We have been touching on these already this year through art activities and individual work with Miss Julie but now we are beginning more focused, whole-group activities.  In the morning we are working on "big" and "small." We have been sorting big and small bears and horses.  On Tuesday we will be watching this video and then we will start making our own fun video.

We made a BIG tower!

 

In the afternoon we are working on "behind" and have already started on our video. We also read a book today called "Chicken Licken" where lots of animals were found behind gates, bushes, bales of hay, etc. Why do we teach basic concepts? Here is a handy, dandy handout that explains why.

 

We also did some painting with water colors and played with the beans in the sensory table.

 

Snack today was strawberries and animal crackers.
