Good Afternoon!
Our Tuesday started with variations of music! Rosemary and Maddie sat at the piano and played a song together! In tandem, they used their fingers to play many keys!
Miss Melinda turned on music which allowed for our friends to move their bodies. Children followed directions as they danced!
Apples, oranges, limes, and lemons filled our classroom this morning! Literally, it smelled like lemons in our environment 
.
The fruit was cut into halves and the first thing we did was a smell test!
When friends closed their eyes, a fruit was put up to their nose. Using the sense of smell, they guessed what fruit it was! We found out that limes and lemons smell very similar!
After the smell test was complete, we moved to the art table where every child was given the opportunity, if they so chose, to create art using fruit. We matched the fruit to a specific color so we knew what fruit made what print!
Some friends made specific prints with the fruit while others smeared the paint around their paper.
We saw patterns that were made by fruit or color.
A friend even commented, “Hey, my paper smells like fruit!”
Once our art project was complete, there was leftover fruit. Since we’ve all tasted apples and oranges before, the lemon and lime were cut up and shared with friends who wanted to try!
To our surprise (!), friends in general liked the lemon and lime.
Some of us expressed our feelings through our facial expressions .
We went outside this morning. It was gorgeous! Children ran around to release some of their energy.
We hope you had a great day!
