Good Afternoon!

Friends continued to explore our new wooden pattern blocks this morning. Some children paired up and worked together to complete the patterns! Not only do activities like this increase our fine motor skills but the ability to problem solve grows!

Before we jumped into our art experience, we discussed the holiday coming up which is the 4th of July.

The art table had a paint/sensory project going this morning where we used paint, paper, and a toilet paper roll to duplicate fireworks! We looked at a video of a ‘sparkler’ which many friends said they’ve used before!

One friend asked why we were using red, blue, and white paint. While doing the project, we talked about the American flag and what colors are shown on the flag. A child playing over in housekeeping piped up and said, “Hey! I have one of those flags at home!”

When we headed outside, a few children headed to the garden area where they helped weed the garden!

In large group, we read a book that Addi brought in to share. After reading, “Dragons Love Tacos”, we discussed what our title would be. Everyone got a change to make up their own title, replacing the words ‘dragon’ and ‘taco’ with what they would choose!

Lunch– Homemade egg salad on bagel/bread, oranges/banana, and cucumbers/carrots.
