Colors

This was a fun week learning about colors.
On Tuesday we learned about a boy named ROY G. BIV. The kids had fun singing a song about him and also practicing coloring the rainbow in the right order. --Red Orange Yellow Green Blue Indigo Violet--

On Wednesday we reviewed our colors and shapes and the kids practiced following directions by coloring each shape a certain color. We also played a fun shape matching game.

On Thursday we had a fun time mixing colors! The kids did a great job of making their rainbow names. And they LOVED using our "magic color" bottles to make colorful designs. We also learned that mixing 2 colors can make a whole new color.

Head, Shoulders, Knees and Toes

First: Sorry for the big mess in the front yard this week. We had a broken water pipe and had to dig to find it.

On Tuesday we talked about our bodies.We focused on our heart, skeleton, brain and stomach. I explained that our stomach is similar to a balloon. (like a stretchy bag) The kids loved watching the balloon get bigger and bigger the more I "ate."

On Wednesday we learned about our 5 senses. The kids took turns choosing an object out of a bag and feeling it with their hands to see if they knew what it was. They also described what it felt like before they were able to see it. We also had fun smelling different scents and guessing what they were. (Lemon, soap, vanilla, peppermint and cinnamon) Along with our regular snacks, some of the kids tasted lemons. :)

On Thursday we talked more about our bodies, what our bodies can do and how we can keep them healthy. The kids had a good time singing "head, shoulders, knees and toes" and trying to sing it faster and faster.

We continue to practice our letters that we have gone over so far. The kids are getting really good at matching the upper case spoons to the lower case spoons.  :)
