Hello Families!

Today in the Walnut room, the writing center was hoppin'! The children used markers and colored pencils to draw pictures. They also used stencils and scissors to add texture to their drawings! Another popular attraction was the marble tubes. The children pieced together the different parts to build tubes for marbles to flow through! Some were tall, some were tilted and some were only a few pieces big!

In the Oak room, children used water colors to hand paint wooden beads. The beads are very colorful and each one is unique! The children also had the opportunity to "shave" today! They used shaving cream and Popsicle sticks to shave their faces and their arms. Painting at the easels was also an option for children. Many children focused on the theme of rainbows when it came to drawing or painting.

The Maple room was busy as usual. Real pieces of wood and nails were new this week and the children showed quite an interest! They took turns hammering the nails into the wood and then prying them back out. The children also used materials from the Maple room to construct train tracks!

In the Pine room, a continuing theme was working at a restaurant. Children and teachers sat at the table while children took orders. The orders were placed and they began to cook the meals. Some of the "daily specials" included pizza with onions, mushrooms and cucumbers, soup, hamburgers and root beer. All of the children worked together to make the restaurant run smoothly!!

While outside many children found different bugs on the playground due to the moist conditions!

Enjoy the rest of your week!
