March was a wet and cold month, we had not seen so much rain. It was truly a blessing to enjoy the delightful weather.
ENJOYING THE RAIN, DIGING IN THE WET SAND, RUNNING AND JUMPING IN THE PUDDLES. “BEST TIME EVER”After the rain we went scavenging for worms in the garden.After reading “LITTLE BLUE AND LITTLE YELLOW,” we had the kids explore blue and yellow playdough. The kids were able to connect the book to the experience they had while squeezing both colors together.“BELL PEPPER PRINTS LOOK LIKE CLOVERS““OOBLICK,” the mixture between corn starch and water. It’s a messy but rewarding and therapeutic activity. We gave the kids yellow and blue to support the color of the month. Thank you parents for reading and cooking with the kids, spending time in class gives the kids a sense of trust, enjoyment and also gives you a chance to see what your child is like at school. “GREEN EGGS AND HAM,” by Dr. SeusGreen eggs and ham anyone?We also read the book “HOW TO CATCH A LEPRECHAUN,” in this story the leprechaun goes down a rainbow slide. We painted our own versions of rainbows with water color paint.Science for these kids can be so simple and gratifying. Put milk on a plate, add drops of food color and let them dip a cotton swab with down into one of the colors and presto. SCIENCE: Let the children lay out some colorful Skittles on a plate, add some warm water and watch them enjoy the colors bleeding out. The kids were mesmerized and their comments were interesting. These activities open doors for interaction, new vocabulary and language.
