Group Meeting: We have had a few children bring in their reading papers. When a child returns a reading paper, we add one scoop of ice cream to our bulletin board display. I've had many children tell me that they are listening to a lot of books. Great!
Story: We have been reading books by Eric Carle. In the past two days, we have read Mister Seahorse, The Mixed-up Chameleon, Have You Seen My Cat?, and The Tiny Seed. We enjoy the stories and look at the art work. The children are getting good at picking out which books have been illustrated by Eric Carle.
Small Groups: After hearing the story Mister Seahorse and looking at the beautiful pictures in the book, we tried a paint method to replicate the art work of Eric Carle. A teacher squirted shaving cream on each child's tray. The children dropped liquid watercolor on the shaving cream. Next, they used a popsicle stick to swirl the colors slightly. Then, they put a paper on the shaving cream and pressed down. When they peeled the paper back, it left a beautiful color pattern on the paper. They used scrappers to remove the shaving cream.
Large Group: Eric Carle's book, Head to Toe, is a movement book. The children listened to the animal descriptions and acted out the movement.
Letter Learning: The letter for today was Xx. The tub contained a box, fox, ax, xylophone, x-ray, and six.
Snack: The snack for today was applesauce, milk and water.
