Hello everyone!
Today in POD B we had a lot of
different things going on both inside the classroom along with in the hallway.
In the pretend area children continued to put on shows and sing on stage. They
love when they have an audience. Many children made up their own songs while
others sung songs that they previously heard, such as songs on the radio and
songs on television shoes.
In the discovery center children continued to
explore both the water table and the sand table. In the water table we have had
cups with holes in the bottom. The children are starting to figure out why the
water isn’t staying in the cup as they lift it out of the water. We have also
added blue dye in the water, so they can really see the water as it empties out
of the container. In the sand table a lot of children are using the dump trucks
to bury other tools and trucks in the sand table.
In construction children have
been playing with the blocks and animals a lot throughout the week. Some specific
things that I saw today was children making train tracks for the cars and
trains. They were also building more homes for the many different animals.
Children are starting to distinguish between the different types of animals and
make appropriate habitats for each.
In the art studio children have
been using the play dough and the foam paint. With the play dough many children
were making different types of foods, such as a cake, pizzas, cookies, and
noodles. The last couple days the children have used the foam paint to make
pictures, but today the foam paint was sprayed on the table and the children
were able to use their hands to make designs. We have also had more wire and
clay appointments today that the children made a bunch of wonderful pots and
sculptures.
As you have already heard there have
been a few new things in the hallway. The grocery store, mail area, and the
wrapping area are very popular. Children are taking turns buying groceries and
being the cashier. At the wrapping station the children are doing a fantastic
job wrapping different objects and boxes.
Lastly, I would like to mention
the bend and stretch we have in the mornings and the rough and tumble play that
we have in the afternoon. Today many
children went down to the large movement room to participate in these centers.
We had to talk about safety issues today during group about what you can and cannot
do during rough and tumble play. The children really enjoy being able to take
their shoes off and jump around for a little while. I hope you all have a wonderful
weekend. We are really looking forward to next week!
