Dear Parents!
Our week about nursery rhymes allowed us to learn some new poems as well as dig deeper into some old favorites! We learned a new song called "It's Chilly in the Morning" and especially enjoyed our cooking experience this week when we made haystack cookies! We used the nursery rhyme "Little Boy Blue" about a boy who sleeps under a haystack as the basis for creating haystack cookies out of crunchy Chinese noodles and melted caramel chips! It was a big hit! We used a little scoop of white frosting to create a sheep and placed it next to our haystack. It was universally loved!
Next week will be all about Thanksgiving!
*As a reminder please continue to send winter gear with your children every day. If at all possible, include waterproof gloves as the cloth gloves end up getting soaked very quickly. Also, please LABLE all winter gear... It really helps us a lot to keep track of it.
Butterfly Notes
We enjoyed reading nursery rhymes and picking out the rhyming words We also acted out some of them. We used a flashlight as a candle stick to jump over pretending to be jack. and we pretended to be cows jumping over the moon. For art we painted with cotton balls and bubbles to make sheep, we painted a moon with a spoon, and a picture with the color blue. We ended our week acting out Humpty Dumpty while dropping eggs at different heights and making predictions followed by a Bingo game to work on letter and number recognition.
Caterpillar Notes
We had lots of great activities this week! We acted out some of our favorite nursery rhymes, created sheep out of cotton balls, built "candlesticks" out of blocks and tested how high we could jump, we made crowns, practiced our scissor skills, number recognition, and shape identification. We enjoyed our Humpty Dumpty Friday by testing out how real eggs crack and how high we had to drop them for them to crack. We played with "egg slime" and eggs made out of corn starch and put our eggs 'together again' with an egg shell paper collage.
