All About Me Week 2

Picture
Our All About Me week was packed full with fun hands on learning activities. 

Group Time

Picture
We read the book My Digestive System and the children loved it.  It had great pictures along with simple descriptions that the children could really understand. 

Group Discussion 

Picture
Picture
After recalling the book from the day before we had a group discussion about what happens to the food we eat.  I just love how little mind work.

Group Science Experiment

Picture
At work time children cut up fruit, vegetables and bread.   
Picture
We talked about what might be in our stomach to help digest our food.  The children came up with Water and Juice.
We used water, lemon and lime juice and vinegar in three different jars for the experiment.
Picture
We added baking soda to the lemon and vinegar jars, to give it the affect of our stomachs digesting the food.  

Work Time (Learning Centers)

Our little ones are really getting the hang of work time and moving around the classroom to all the learning centers.

The art studio in full action.  Creating and collaborating together, from humpty dumpty to self portraits.

We pulled out the beauty shop prop box for our all about me unit.  Which lead to our director saying that she need a hair cut.

We used mirrors to help with our clay sculptures of our selves.

All About Me Week 1

Picture
I always forget what a roller coast ride it is the first few weeks of school and this year was no exception.  It was packed with ups, downs and all around, but it was also a very successful and fruitful week with my new group of little ones. 

Here is a peak at what we did.

Group Time

At our morning meeting we had fun singing our ABC with this new movement song.

Work Time (Learning Centers)

Picture
This table of friends worked together to make a pan of cheesy cheese noodles.  While practicing their fine motor skills. 
Picture
Children learning how to use scissors with this color sorting name collage.
Picture
How tall are we?  Children worked together to see how tall they were.  "She is 8 blocks tall." "If you cut the block in half then it would be the same as the bean bags."  Love their thought process.
Picture
We introduced dice with this roll and color activity.

Small Group Activities

Picture
After children measured their friends at work time they were able to practice their new skill with some How tall are we? measuring mats.
Picture
We practiced making facial features with draw and wipe mats.
Picture
Children played with lakeshore kids sorting and counting.  Looking to see which group had more and less. 

As they were working with them some patterns even emerged.
