Good Afternoon!

It was a collage day today! Indoors this morning we added to our big paper collage we have been working on.  We used black torn paper to create a border and then added beads.  Many of our friends liked adding the beads as part of the border.  It was a wonderful collaborative effort!  Our friend Cassie was instrumental in the collage work today!

Outside we worked on individual nature collages using objects we found in the play area.  Many of us used the helicopter like maple seeds.  As trees had been trimmed today we had the opportunity to use a variety of leaves and sticks.  We even had leaves that came in a lovely shade of maroon!

Several friends explored unfix cubes this morning.  We practiced adding from one to ten.  We put the lengths of one through ten  together in a line which gave us the visual aspect of what numbers look like as real units.  These kinds of explorations help us recognize groups of numbers at a glace.  We develop a more in depth and real life concept of numbers and amounts when we have this visual information as a reference in mind. 

Breakfast: Toasted oatmeal squares and fresh watermelon.

Lunch: Peanut butter on whole wheat bread with fresh green beans and pineapple.

PM Snack: Whole wheat bagels with cream cheese.
