Hi There!!

For the past two weeks the children have been excited to learn new poems and finger plays that are a part of the festive Halloween season. Today, the children did a fantastic job as they participated in a wonderful short skit, portraying the Five Little Jack O Lanterns. If you would like to view a short video of the production, please see below.

It’s Thursday!!!

Is everyone ready for the pumpkin patch??? Many of the children wore the cutest little outfits in anticipation for the upcoming event. However in the classroom we continued exploring the world of visual spatial intelligence. Today the children were introduced to three different types of artist and their work:- Pablo Picasso, Vincent Van Gogh, and Claude Monet. We then created our variations of “ A Starry Night” from Vincent Van Gogh.

Happy Wednesday!

We hope everyone is having a wonderful week thus far. This morning Smith and Joanna worked together as a team with the Knobbed Cylinder Blocks. This lesson builds a visual awareness of discriminating sizes and dimensions.

Hi Everyone!

What a beautiful day!! This month we will be focused on developing visual-spatial awareness in the classroom. Children with visual-spatial intelligence often enjoy building with blocks, sculpting with clay, enjoys art and viewing pictures as well as having an eye for patterns and puzzles. This morning the children built/created their very own artistic creations with the use of gumdrops and toothpicks. It was a lot of fun and all the children were diligent and focused students.

Music Class was wonderful! As usual Mr. Jason brought along a friend, and a musical instrument

(in addition to the guitar). This makes Mondays merrier.

Today as you can see from the photos, our instrument of focus was the harmonica. It sounds good,

it looks interesting too, but Mr. Jason looks really tired when he’s done playing. He played some blues for us and then we played our own version of, “name that tune!”

The friend of the day was “Tiny” the Dinosaur who lives in an egg. Tiny reminded us of the rules of egg shaking.

Egg shakers are not for eating. We shouldn’t even put them in our mouths to taste. So we shook them to the tune of “I want candy!” But we sang “I want Tacos!” Cool right?

Thank you again Mr. Jason for making Mondays fun and Musical. Thanks Mom and Dad for signing us up.

See you next week!!!!
