Hello!
It's that blogging time of the week once again!
I hope that everyone had a good relaxing snow day. The kids were pretty adorable slooooowly wading through the deep snow today...
We learned about penguins this week-where they live, what they eat, whether they can fly or not. The kids learned a new penguin song at Meeting/Circle Time to the tune of "I'm a Little Teapot." It goes like this:
I'm A Little Penguin
I'm a little penguin black and white
I like to waddle across the ice
When I reach the water I dive right in
I hunt for fish as I swim, swim swim
There are motions to go along with this, including the sign language for black and white which the kids can show you at home! They really like this one and usually want to sing it more than once. We've also still been singing our "Days of the Week" song, snapping and clapping away. Preschoolers were really into our "new" and "different" calendar this week now that it's February and we're still having Calendar Helpers at every Meeting.
We practiced some literacy with Syllable Duck-Duck Goose again this week and played some rhyming games. Some students also got to play a snowflake matching game with Miss Amanda! There ended up being a couple of Art Projects this week, which was fun. First, we read "Polar Bear, Polar Bear What do you Hear?" (and got to make animal noises to go along with the pictures) then kids got to make paper plate "masks," choosing either lions or elephants out of paper, yarn and buttons!
Our Thursday Art Project was part of our Penguin Unit. Kids used black and white paint, construction paper beaks and googly eyes to make mini penguins out of egg carton pieces that will be going home on Monday once they dry!
Next week we'll be focusing on love and friendship for Valentine's Day and will have a "Friendship Celebration" on Thursday.
Have a great weekend,
Miss Kate and Miss Amanda
