Hello!

A few friends requested paint today so we headed into the kitchen where we worked with an assortment of colors! There were a couple different strategies that children used:

Maya was very vertical today in her painting. Most of her lines went from the top of the page to the bottom. She then tried the ‘dotting’ technique where you ‘gently’ slam the paint brush onto the paper, making a specific mark.

Nahla worked on using the entire paper. She took her paint brush and made swirly marks in a big motion to cover most of her paper.

Tate and Rosemary were extremely sensorial during today’s painting activity. Rosemary took her paintbrush and painted her fingertips. She studied them really hard for a while and squished the paint in between her fingers. Tate took the blue paint and painted his hand. He put his hand onto the paper, transferring the paint! He pointed and said, “Hand!”

For breakfast, children had eggs and grapes. Lunch consisted of egg casserole with hash browns, oranges, and peas. PM snack was rice cakes with cream cheese.

Have a great night.
