With the blustery weather this morning, the students made it feel nice and cozy in our space. The addition of a little kitchen set made for some yummy “meals”. We had lots of different dishes and even a batch of burnt “muffins” that was dumped in the sink. The house phone was also put to good use as some of the kiddos made important phone calls. The babies needed a good scrubbing today and a bug tub of bubble foam helped us with that. Our rug area turned into a large fairy garden, filled with sticks, cookie tree slices, fairies, gnomes, and woodland animals. Some of the animals traveled to our musical instruments as the students explored sound with jingle bells, shaky eggs, and a xylophone. A large canvas was rolled and swiped with jewel tone colors, kicking off a new collaborative piece. The light table also became a center for Art as the students used paint sticks and oil pastels on transparency papers. It was fun to see them notice how their markings showed up on the wall as they used the overhead projector.
With Thanksgiving just around the corner, we read Todd Parr’s The Thankful Book to remind us to be grateful for not only the big but, more importantly, the little things in our lives.
I hope you all have a wonderful Thanksgiving with your loved ones. I am so thankful for getting to spend time with your little ones each week and I hope you will join me again next semester!
Sincerely,
Miss Claire
