What are we doing this week??
* We have a new greeting song - a picture with the words will be posted on the blog soon
* New sign in - names on wooden tree "chips" for them to find and place in basket. Working very hard on name identification.
* This week we are talking about what we already know about trees, tree vocab, and who may live in trees.
* We will watch 2 short You Tube videos one on trees - parts of trees and tree vocab and one is a cute song that has the tree parts in it. If you would like to watch it with your child at home the title is Head Shoulder Knees and Toes for Trees! By Mr. R's Songs for Teaching.
* Work with me - the children will go outside (hopefully) to do bark rubbing to start the community tree that both classes will contribute to. We may be able to use pieces of tree bark that Ms. Sue has brought in - if its raining outside. We will write/draw in our journals. We will try to create some patterns and look for different patterns in the classroom. We will practice our spatial words such as behind, in front of, under, on top, etc with a toy set we have in class.
* Art with Ms. Tammy the morning class will create colorful hand print leaves, the afternoon class will cut out green leaves both sets of leaves will go on out community tree. They will also work creating a life cycle of an apple tree that we will use later.
* We will read several books - picture to be posted soon
* We will look at all the fun nature items and tree items that have been brought in to class and are on our science/nature table.
* We will also have our first day of the Farmers Market in the dramatic play area. They children can buy different fruits and veggies and when its time to clean up sort them back in to the correct baskets by color.
* Plus many other fun toys and areas will be available to play in this week.
