Last couple of days

November 30th:

Laying Bricks: We pretended to be bricklayers. We used shovels and triangle spatulas to put shaving cream on our wooden blocks. We stacked the wooden blocks on top of each other just as people do when they are building a brick house.

Art Smart: The Cockatoos used purple, orange, blue, and pink roller painters at the art easel.




December 1st:

Art Smart: The Cockatoos painted with hammers today. Children were given black paper and shiny paint to paint a picture using tool hammers. The Cockatoos enjoyed dipping the hammers into the different colored paint and making circles on the black paper. They noticed how the hammer could make different shapes each time they put the hammer on the paper.

Table Toys: The Cockatoos were given Lego’s to build. The children loved building towers and tall buildings! The other table had a BIG! Digger puzzle. The Cockatoos used their fine motor skills to fit the puzzle pieces together. The children worked together to help put the puzzle together.

Center Time: A USA puzzle, which was a bit challenging, was out on the carpet and several of the children worked together in small groups to put it together and they were all very successful.
