Thursday:
 |
| Our morning message. Each morning we start our day with a message and a question. Each kiddo gets to come up and answer the question. We then work on counting. |
 |
| Craft time! Acrylic paint and 3 year old's...why not?? |
 |
| Mrs. Tracy was worried...but I think they rocked it! |
 |
| My sweet hubby helping spray paint the faces on . I had to draw the line at acrylic paint...3 year old's and spray paint...now that sounds scary! I told the kiddos they painted pumpkins and I (ok...JJ) turned them into jack-o-lanterns! |
 |
| The final product... This was my fist time attempting this craft! They turned out super cool! Jesus truly does shine through these sweet kiddos! |
 |
| Book book time! Reading, Pumpkin, Pumpkin. A great non-fiction book to learn about the life cycle of a pumpkin. |
 |
| Independent water color painting. |
 |
| These kiddos are so impressive with the weekly letter hunt! |
 |
| Some matching and counting with Mrs. Crystal |
 |
| Time to use a few of our senses to check out the inside of a pumpkin. |
 |
| It's "Hammer Time!" |
 |
| This was a super cool way to incorporate some fine motor skills. They put the "nail" in and hammered it until it went through...A fun way to build eye-hand coordination and hand strength. |
 |
| Estimation Time! Who ever would have thought that 3 year old's could estimate the circumference of a pumpkin?? I did! After I explained what the circumference was these kiddos got to make their own predictions by telling me how long to cut the yarn. |
 |
| They then came up and got to check if it was, "too long, too short, or just right" |
 |
| My goodness cutie pie...you were "just right!!" |
 |
| How awesome was this!?! |
 |
| We can add seeds to our pumpkin...5 to be exact! |
 |
| Such a great fine motor skill as well. Picking up these tiny seeds using the pinch grip is tough work! |
 |
| great 1:1 counting smart buddy! |
 |
| Our "Thumb-kin" patch,,, |
 |
| Now just give me that sweet thumb! *You didn't see this because I put it into their portfolios...you will get those at the end of the year. |
 |
| Independent pumpkin sponge painting...so much fun! |
 |
| Life cycle of a pumpkin...sequencing and recalling is such an important skill to these little ones! |
 |
| Perfection! |
 |
| Taste testing with pumpkin seeds.. |
 |
| Just look at that face...I am not sure she is a fan! |
 |
| I was so amazed that each kiddo tried the seeds! As you know...many kiddos at this age get nervous to try something different...but not this group! And a bigger surprise is that all but 2 liked them! For some reason I forgot to take a picture of us doing our poem of the week, 5 little pumpkins sitting on a gate" On Friday I had cut out the pictures and we retold the poem from memory! Retelling/recalling is the first steps in learning to read! I bet you they could recite this to you...just take a look in their poetry folders and read it together! |
