Blast off!

 Our housekeeping center was transformed to a space station during the long weekend!  The children had fun pretending to fly a space ship and live on the space station today :)

Happy Birthday, Bailey!  We had red juice and napkins today to reinforce the sign and Spanish word for red. 

President's Day TK Activities

 The TK class spent this short week at school learning some facts about former presidents of the United States.  We learned about the American flag, George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, and Barack Obama.  The children impressed me with the knowledge that they already had about some of our country's symbols! 

 Thanks to free printables offered by Mrs. Ricca's Kindergarten, we worked on these portraits for Washington and Lincoln.

Color Study....Red/Rojo

The morning class began our color study this week.  All of our activities and many of our centers are focused on the color red. The red rice in the sensory table smells so good--rice scented with strawberry Kool Aid.

Our art project on Tuesday was red paint with baking soda mixed in.  We painted red hearts.....

     

Next we used eye droppers to add vinegar to our paintings.  Some of us liked how the vinegar smelled and some of us did not.

                                            Using those eyedroppers is great exercise for our fingers!

     We got to watch and listen to the tiny bubbles as the vinegar mixed with the baking soda in the paint.
