Stay & Play: We read "No sleep for the sheep!" by Karen Beaumont

We did painting with rollers with various designs on them.

We used tambourines for music. We moved around the room pretending to drive a car.

We did some alphabet file folder games, we did a puzzle road for cars- we assembled the puzzle and drove cars on it.

Willow Room- MWF class:

We read "My 5 senses" by Margaret Miller

We are talking about senses, adn today we asked the children :What do you like to taste with your mouth?"

We did fingerpainting, and then we used objects to make designs int he painting.

We used musical instruments and did "I'm a fine musician", "clap, clap, clap your hands.

We added pictures of items that start with the letter E to our e chart.

Our dramatic play area is a puppet theater until we change it into a post office soon.

Maple Room:

We read "A hat for Minerva Louise" by Janet Morgan Stoeke

We had trays with 6 colors of paint and individual paint brushes in each color. The children painted on big paper.

We had rollers with designs at the easels.

We read "The January song," "Alphabet sounds songs", and "This is the way we do it".

We did letter N activities . We transferred our weather information from January to our yearly graph.

We have a new sensory table top with 8 open holes so hands can fit through. We put Mesa flour in the table and the children enjoyed playing with it today.

Oak Room:

We read "The smiley snowman"

We cut out heart shapes, then put them in a box and rolled marbles dipped in paint back and forth to paint them. We will use them to decorate our bulletin board for February.

We are talking about the letter R this week.
