Let's Make Another Maze

Good afternoon Oak room families!  Today our friends continued working together designing an elaborate maze. Their idea was to make it challenging for the teachers not to make it through the maze. They put in walls and doors to block the exits which could only be opened with a special key. Check it out...





JB - Okay, so here's the key to unlock the maze.

Look what I made F!  It's a museum.
We added windows to the museum.
The friends enjoyed sponge painting so much yesterday that they wanted to do it again.  Before we began some friends noticed that we didn't have green or purple paint so we had to mix a couple of paints to get our desired colors.  "We need to mix blue and yellow to make green" responded GP.  And we need to mix red and blue to make purple replied GN-F and they did.  We also added glitter to the paint, mixed it altogether and couldn't wait to see the transformation. 
GN-F - It's going to sparkle it up.
GP - When they dab it on the paper the glitter will shine on the paper.
RN - It's going to be very sparkly.
LM - I see bubbles! They sparkle!

NP - There's bubbles right here!


"I Like this!"

Joyfully laughing..."I have purple fingers!"




Look at our hands!
We just love the joy the children bring to our room in all the things they do!

Lunar New Year

Image
Good afternoon, Oak Room Family! The children have been learning about lunar new year and after the children helped repair Ms Lena’s lion last week we were able to do a lion dance as a class today.  The children listened to their own heartbeats while calm and after jumping around and then used instruments to act as the lion’s heartbeat fast and slow for different feelings of the lion. Today is the first day of Lunar New Year and the beginning of the year of the wood snake. We also enjoyed small capers today and practiced a fire drill.  We wish you a healthy and prosperous new year and hope that like the snake you can shed and leave behind that which you don’t want to bring with you into the new year!

Self Portrait Work & Another Guest Reader

Image
Good afternoon, Oak room families! Today some children had the opportunity to work on their self portrait paintings. It is amazing to see the amount of growth in the children's detailed work since we first did this project in the Fall! We are excited to put our pictures on these pieces and get them displayed soon. We also had another fabulous guest reader this morning! G.B.'s mom came and read a few stories to the class. Thank you so much for visiting, Ms. Kylie! Friends had some fun in the gym this morning, too. It's hard to be stuck inside during these rainy Spring days, but we are making the most of our indoor spaces. It was a fantastic morning! Have a wonderful evening!
