This morning friends were invited to the art table to decorate bags for our Valentine exchange tomorrow! Rather than just get out paint and paintbrushes, we decided to switch up our art materials a little bit. Instead of using paintbrushes, friends had the opportunity to use a variety of cardboard tubes to dip into the paint.

Friends used the tubes in a variety of ways—to press down circles, to glob paint blobs in various shapes, and to drag paint across their bags. One friend noticed that sometimes a bubble of paint was created across the tube! This allowed friends to make complete circles.

There was lots of focus and concentration throughout this work. These personalized Valentine bags will come in very handy tomorrow!

Kindergarten: One of today’s activities to practice greater than/less than/equal to involved tools we haven’t gotten out in a while, STAMPS! Elliott stamped a number of his choosing in one box of his paper. Next, he had to figure out a number that was greater than, less than and equal to his original number. Elliott represented the values with both stamps and numerals in the other boxes of his paper.

Wee Sprouts: Pea pods. Breakfast: Kashi’s Cinnamon Harvest and fresh pears. Lunch: Whole wheat flatbread with turkey and cheddar cheese, carrots, pears and bananas. Snack: Almonds and pretzels.
