ALL ON A WALK....
Despite the wet, misty weather, we took a walk up the street for an adventure. We put on our investigator glasses, held hands with a partner and looked for different things. We found vans, houses, bushes and also: pine cones and pine needles. We learned that pine needles were used by some Native Americans as paint brushes. We will try to use them tomorrow for paint brushes back in the classroom.
We learned how to freeze (hold perfectly still) when a Morah says the word.
On the way back we took steps in many different forms - as a bunny, frog, lion, bird, tiger and as a butterfly, We also tried many different ways to move forward including: marching, tip-toeing, jumping and galloping. We will try to recall these different elements of the walk tomorrow.
Earlier in the day, the children had the chance to write on the White Board. After doing it alone they also shared the white board space with a friend.,
They also cleaned the board when they were finished.
FLASHLIGHT FUN,,,
We explored with flashlights today. We learned:
*** how difficult it is to give up the flashlight when your turn was over.. we practiced this a lot
using a circle game of pass-the-flashlight.
*** how to share three flashlights with seven children. After a few tears, they all got the idea.
*** that we need to find a dark space to see the flashlight clearly
*** we can make the lights dance on the ceiling
*** it was even more fun when all three of the flashlights were "dancing" together
*** our hand glows when we put it on top of the light.
Lastly, we counted candles in many different ways, we even added and subtracted them!
More on counting tomorrow.
