Happy Monday!
We had a wonderfully busy day.
Tate and Grady were awfully curious about dinosaurs this morning so we did a little research. We found out that dinosaurs can be herbivores, carnivores, or omnivores. We talked about what each word meant and what that meant for the dinosaur.
A few friends experimented with our new pre-writing activity. There are several boards that allow children to experiment with the writing process. We moved our hands in different ways, mimicking several letters and the movements that it takes to make certain letters.
What else would we do on this GORGEOUS day but take a walk!
Our goal on this walk was to use our sense of sight to look at the trees along the different streets we walked down. Jackson and Addi each kept a clipboard handy to document the different colored leaves that we saw. Everyone kept an eye out and let the group know when they saw a tree with colored leaves on it!
Also, along our walk we saw something peculiar on a tree. We looked at it and Addi spoke up saying, “It’s a wood ear mushroom!”
I mean..such a beautiful day!
In large group, we read a story called, ‘Tackylocks and the Three Bears’. Friends automatically related this story to ‘Goldilocks and the Three Bears’! As we read the story, comments like, “That’s what Goldilocks did in the story!” were made. After we were done reading the story, we talked about the character Tackylocks and compared him to Goldilocks.
We saw smiles all day long. We even saw some magic..
