Today we painted "Robin eggs" using blue and white paint. We observed the mixing of the two colors and felt the paint on our hands. It is not uncommon at this age for the young children to dislike getting their hands messy, some of them choose to use a paint brush instead...then when they were more comfortable they wanted to paint their hands with the paint brush. What a learning experience!We also used teamwork to play with a parachute. We used listening skills to shake, lift, and go under the parachute. We observed the pretty colors (color recognition) and laughed with our friends during this silly game. We loved seeing the reaction on our friends faces! (Social skills)
For story time we sang along to books on CD. By request we did each book twice (Learning through repetition) and we had fun singing along to "Rock-a-Baby Band" and "Wheels on the Bus" using hand motions with friends and teachers. (Learning through imitation)
