This month our class is learning about primary and secondary colors. We will create art inspired by many collage artist. Our students love making their own colors, painting paper, cutting out shapes and then creating pictures and stories to go with them!
Spring is in the air! We enjoy using fresh flowers in our playdough and in our play outside. We will continue to look for signs of spring and incorporate nature in our art and play.
We will study insects and noticed some have wings, some can fly and others can not. Some have 8 legs and others 6 legs. We will use the bugs for our number pal job. Counting bees in a hive, or seeing how many insects in the group have wings? How many insects do we have all together? We look forward to our classroom caterpillars arriving soon!
During free time children enjoy playing together in the classroom, trying new games and projects at the tables and taking turns in the art area.
We love playing outside with our friends!
Bat Pig
Bat Pig is the stuffed animal that lives at school, and helps during circle time. This month our classes will enjoy taking turns with Bat Pig to answer questions, introduce themselves and play pop the pig on the parachute! After Spring vacation the kids will be surprised to see that Bat Pig has welcomed piglets. The children will be excited to meet and care for them. Each day one child will be picked to bring home a pig for a sleepover. We will do this every few days, and everyone will have a turn. As you can imagine, this is very exciting and causes many emotions. Everyone will have a turn but not everyone can bring the pig on the same day. It is a great lesson in sharing, patience, taking care of something, and talking about feelings. The kids are always so excited and proud to look after the little pigs. The pigs will be sent to the sleepover with their sleeping bag, teddy bear, toothbrush and a little book for you to write down your adventures of the evening. You can even include photos. And they are stuffed animals….not real pigs, so it isn’t too hard to look after them!
