Dear Preschool families,
We hope everyone had a nice and relaxing Labor Day weekend. We picked up right where we left off continuing the smiles, laughter, and fun.
Our Tuesday started off with discovery play, centers, and a story called Let’s Play. It was an interactive story with lines, curves, and imagination. The interest of the children grew about lines and where you can find them. We found a lot, especially in the classroom. The flag, in the ceiling, and our classroom door.. A very captivating and clever story about lines.
Leo the Line by Amanda and Larry Shankle. You can find Leo through out the story hiding inside a……kite string, jump rope, and flower stem just to name a few. This story led us to our provocation. Using a small sheet of white paper, a black pastel crayon, and a touch of watercolors the children made lines and curves and created their own design. Their beautiful designs will be in the classroom for you to take a look at.
Our fun continued with another exciting story named Lines that Wiggle by Candace Whitman. The story has a line that runs through the book turning itself into all kinds of objects: the waves above an octopus, the veins in a leaf, and trapping lines of a spider web. We wrapped up the week by making a mural on a black roll of paper with different kinds of lines using neon tempra paint and a fine point paint brush to trace unique lines.
PS Have a great weekend,
We hope to see you at Country Roads: Boots for Buses!
Miss Airry, Miss Arden, and Miss Meredith
