Good Afternoon!
Please pick up your child’s hand hand crafted holiday gift which will be on the work bench for the rest of the week. Your child’s name is on the bottom of the bag. They are so excited to give their gifts to their families!
Our PREK1 group sign in focused on the book we read yesterday for group: The Polar Express!
Children had to pull a main event that occurred in the story during sign in. They were asked what gift that main character asked for towards the end of the book. Everyone was able to recall the correct gift!
Our morning activity used a variety of loose parts. Children explored these loose parts on their mirror tray. Arthur shared that he was making cookies and the frosting was the white square on each cookie. Another child took it upon herself to make a charcuterie board! She didn’t set out to make a charcuterie board but once she shared what she was making on her tray, I said, “That sounds like a charcuterie board! Would you like to see what one looks like?’. On her tray, she had crackers with cheese on top as well as grapes and various circle cookies!
At the art center, we began working on “winter process paintings”. We chose from a variety of sponges to add color and texture to our paper, creating the back drop of a winter storm. We will continue to build up the surface of our paintings this week. This project has no wrong answer and is completely open to what the child chooses to make of it. These are the kinds of projects we offer abundantly at Wee Friends. Art projects hold the attention of our kids the longest when they are truly creative and self expressive processes!
