This has been a fun week! I will do my best to accurately summarize this week's events. Both classes went on a field trip to the BYU Bean Museum & both classes had some fun with letter "R" depending on the day...My biggest regret is that I forgot my camera when the AM class went to the museum. So sorry to have not taken pictures!
Choosing Time: Among others, we played a game called, "OH, Rats!" We also made "rainbow" necklaces by stringing fruit loops in a rainbow pattern.
AM Snacks: On Tuesday we had donuts & cookies. Today we had fruit loops & popcorn.
PM Snacks: On Tuesday we had red grapes & cheese sticks. Today we had fruit snacks & fish crackers.
Music: Rain Is Falling, Little House, Peter Rabbit, Rubber Reindeer, If All The Raindrops.., & I Can Sing A Rainbow (my version)
Movement: Penguin Shuffle, Ring Around The Roses, Run for 5, Head, Shoulders, Knees, & Toes, Hokey-Pokey, Beetle Dance
Science: Love Potion (What happens when red ice cubes and blue ice cubes melt?)
Lesson: We noticed that capital "R" looks different than lower case "r". We practiced making the "R" sound. We read a itsy bitsy book about "R." We thought of some things that begin with "R" such as rabbit, rock, rainbow, rose, ring, robot, red...
Books: White Rabbit's Color Book & Grey Rabbit's Odd One Out by Alan Baker, The Crayon Box that Talked by Shane Derolf, & What Makes a Rainbow? by Betty Ann Schwartz
Art: Hot Rainbow Rocks
Field Trip: The morning class was able to touch a Python, Bearded Dragon, & a Tortoise from Africa. The afternoon class was able to touch a Python, Gecko, & a Box Turtle. We all enjoyed seeing the various animals. We had a good talk about what kinds of things people and animals do when they are scared. For example, a squid will squirt ink, a skunk sprays, a snake may hiss & bite, a child may cry, run, or hit. We all have different reactions that show we are scared and so do animals. Most animals don't want to be mean. The morning class was able to see Humphrey the Elephant received his name tag. Thank you to all the mothers who came, drove, and helped supervise! I really appreciate you!
