Art projects: This week we worked on painting a "beautiful tree" and made a bell collage!
Our theme this week was : Friends around the world!
Books: Whoever You Are: This is a great story about children all over the world: smiles are the same, so are hurts, cries, joys, love, and pain. Can You Say Peace?: This is a book about all of the different ways children around the world say peace!
We've got mail! This week in our mailbox we found a book The Color of Us - we looked at our skin and found out that we all have different shades of skin color. We also looked at a book about Dumbo from Japan. Children all over the world like to read - we just speak different languages! We also looked at some things from Norway.
Mortimer the puppet introduced the letter "G"! He found some Gum, he wants to chew it and have some Gooey Gum! Ask your children about other words that start with the letter G!
We excused for snack this week by: 1) Finishing the Pattern, and 2) Matching objects!
Dora's Clues: bathtub, towel and soap. We found out Dora wants to make sure we keep ourselves clean!
Song: "Drink Hot Chocolate" (sung to the tune of "Peanut Butter and Jelly"): First you take the packet and you rip it, you rip it! (pretend to rip a package) x2 (repeat this verse); Chilly chilly weather. Hot cocoa! (hug self and then fan self) x (repeat); Then you hold the packet, and you pour it, you pour it! (pretend to pour mix); Then you pour hot water, and you stir it, you stir it! (pretend to stir); Then you hold your mug and you (blow), (blow); Then you take a swallow, and you smile, you smile! (smile)
