Apple Painting!

                                            Looks like red and yellow makes orange.
                                          We used red, yellow, and green paint.
                                        Painting with friends:)
                                        Painting by using and mixing different colors.

First Few Weeks of School

Looking at zoo animal pictures in the block center.
Creating a loop with the cars in the block center.
                                                    Sorting!
                                         Playing in dramatic play. They decided to be fire fighters
                                         for the day.
Having fun going down the slide "feet first."

Eating lunch in housekeeping. I think the cat is hungry too!
                                             
Playing in the sensory table with sand. Are the containers empty or full?



Creating symmetry.

I painted a dragon.
                                        

For This Week....

    Every morning we discuss the weather and the calendar. What does it look like outside today? Is it sunny, rainy, cloudy, cold, hot? We use our calendar to look at the days of the week and to view upcoming events. Is there a birthday or holiday, or new season coming up? Lately we have had discussions about the new season fall. What changes do you see outside? Are there leaves changing colors and falling? Is the weather getting cooler?
   Our theme for the week of September 27th-October 1st is apples. We are discussing what colors apples can be and where you can find them. We plan on painting with apples this week. Hopefully we will see the star in the center!
