Orange, and yellow
and golden brown.
Fall is the time when the leaves fall down.
That is the poem/song we learned today about the Season we are discussing in Preschool.
Today, we also:
- -worked with our names (we are getting them!!).
- - did leaf rubbings and also took time to really LOOK at leaves.
- -enjoyed centers and individual work time with the teacher (on letters & sounds).
- - discussed the turning of the months.
- -read The Four Seasons
- Enjoyed one of my favorite activities: Fall Rock Painting.
Each child marks their paper with their name. Then each child gets to choose the Fall colors they want to dob on their paper. (It is important to let them experiment with squeezing the containers so they understand what "a little" and "a lot" really is.) Then came the only part I helped them with - rolling up the long paper and putting it into an oatmeal container. They picked two rocks and tossed them in the container and closed the lid. Then the fun began! They shook it as long as they wanted to - some decided to go hard, some decided to roll it on the table. After they thought they were done, they opened the lid and pulled out their unique masterpiece!
*I didn't use brown because I thought I would take over all the other colors, but next time, I for sure will - it will look more Fallish!
We then:
- enjoyed playing outside -for maybe the last time for a while :(
- ate our snack.
- worked hard on letter Cc.
- and ended the day with show n tell.
Looking forward:
- Letter Cc homework is in folders.
- Next week we will continue with the theme of Fall.
