It finally happened. Our tiny caterpillars have fled their nest and set out into the big, open world. Ever since we got our caterpillars, we have been anticipating the day that they would turn into butterflies. We sang songs about butterflies, created butterfly art and even learned the meaning of the words metamorphosis and chrysalis. We are all saddened by the fact that we had to let the butterflies go; however, we are thankful for the time that we spent with them.
Room 3 welcomes spring with open arms and open hearts. We kicked off the new season with a variety of activities from painting butterflies and flowers to learning about dance. Also, a spontaneous interest in volcanoes led us to create our very own volcano in our yard. With some vinegar, food coloring, and baking soda, we were able to replicate a colorful lava flow! We have a lot of different things to look forward to as the year progresses, so keep an eye out for the next blog post.
Room 3 had a fantastic two days at the Travel Town Museum. The trips went smoothly and the children had a blast seeing different kinds of trains and train parts in person. Throughout the trip, the children played a game of bingo while walking around the park. There was still a lot to do by the time we left, so parents, make sure you bring your kids back! Thank you to all the parents who were able to come and we cannot wait for our next field trip.
We had a fantastic week making scrumptious pancakes and building grand train tracks with our new train toys. As our field trip to the train station draws closer, we are excited to see how invested and interested the children are when it comes to learning about trains and playing with trains. In addition, we are also learning about an American folk hero and train track hero named John Henry!
Last week we had the opportunity to make Gak, also known by the kids as slime. It is a glue based polymer substance that was and still is popular with the children. As a matter of fact, it’s pretty fun for the teachers in Room 3 as well. Be sure to be careful if you attempt to make this at home because just like glue, it will stick but it won’t come off easily.
Room 3 had an amazing time this week celebrating winter in all its white and snow-filled glory. Rice Krispie snowballs were made with a little bit of blue food coloring. In addition, the children had the opportunity to create snow art. Look forward to the new adventures that will be had in the future and here’s a hint…”full steam ahead!”
It’s a brand new year and that means new adventures for us in Room 3. However, that doesn’t mean we should forget the end of 2017. As an acknowledgement to end of the year, please enjoy the Happy Birthday Jesus performance and the other various picture of activities and fun that was had.
Room 3 had a spectacular time at the farm. It was our first time there and hopefully it won’t be the last because we loved the shows, animals and activities. The children were exhausted by the end of the day and were reluctant to leave due to how much fun they were having. Thank you to Underwood Farm and all of their employees for making our field trip an incredibly enjoyable one.
Although it was our first time participating in Apple and Pumpkin Day, we had an amazing time. The day was packed with fun activities, smiles and laughter. We would like to thank all the parents that contributed and helped out!
