Hello Friday!

The Kindergarteners were asked to go around the classroom to find friends who were similar to them. They looked for friends who had the same eye/hair color, had the same favorite food, and favorite toy. They quickly discovered that friends who they don’t normally play with are a lot like themselves.

Gardening season is approaching and we are starting to think about growing things!  Today, several of us worked on a flower process painting to help make our classroom feel like spring.  We were encouraged to look at a book of flower photographs to help us think about flower shapes. Some of us wanted to make up the shape ourselves. This was absolutely great too!  Next, we designed our flower drawing on our poster paper.  We chose from four different textured painting utensils to color our flower.  As the paint dries, we will add more layers of texture and color to our paintings.   

In our loose parts play area we each explored a tray of different materials.  We had one tray of all wood, one of stone, and one of metal.  On our metal tray we had several magnetic pieces to remind us of the special magnetic qualities of some metal objects.  We talked about how each material felt, and how they differed form one another.
