Friendships and Fun Activities! - FAS M/W/F PM Class
October 10, 2017, 06:00 AMIt has been
an amazing few weeks getting to know each other and already we are on our way
to a great start. The children are
settling into their classroom and friendships have begun. We are learning a little more about each
other as we spend time together playing, creating art, and learning about
ourselves.
During art, we have drawn our self-portraits. We used mirrors to help us draw ourselves. Our self -portraits will soon be up on our board out front. We also created some leaf prints with potato stamps. We discovered that less was more when using the paint. Some of the children decided it was much better to actual use the potato as a paint brush rather than a stamp. The beauty of art is how ones outcome is so different from the next person even if you set out the same materials for everyone. An activity that showcases individuality is a great learning moment of acceptance and pride in one self.

Another
activity that the children enjoyed recently was baking. We discussed safety rules before we begun
baking in the kitchen and then we talked about the ingredients we were
using. The children enjoyed the hands on
part of the activity. We touched on some
counting and measuring and most importantly, learning to take turns and being
patient. We are looking forward to
cooking more together soon.
Until next
time, Deanna
