This week we are using ink in a variety of forms and a lot of I statements. Our Coping Skill is scribbling-a perfect outlet for young children! Take a look at how we played today:
We will be learning about favorite foods this week during Snack Time and Story Time. In Feast for Ten a family shops, cooks and prepares for a big meal. In My First Thanksgiving, a little mouse has such a big day they fall asleep at the table. In More Spaghetti, I Say, we see just how much one character loves spaghetti!
I Week Activities
Here are some I things for the week you can look for in photos, conversations and backpacks!
Ink Masterpiece: children are using ink pens this week to create an ink masterpiece with instrumental music in the background. We sure feel like we’re in an art gallery!
Ink Pads and Stamps: We have an entire table set up with washable ink pads and a variety of stamps. We’ll use the ink pads for Journal Time this week too.
Ian the Inky I: Our Alphabet Friend will get in on Scribbling Time every day to get covered in his favorite thing: ink!
Ice Play: we have ice in the Water Table this week to hold, feel, observe and try to get it to melt! We also have ice cube trays in the Tub Table to pretend that Cloud Dough is ice!
Inches: there are rulers available for measuring this week. We have inch blocks which allow for counting and measuring to equate: 3 blocks = 3 inches. We also know that our floor tiles are 12 inch squares so that is another measuring reference.
I Like to Eat Apples and Bananas: along with this being our Song of the Week going through each vowel, it also fits in well to our daily conversation about our Favorite Foods.
Instrument Play: while we have instruments available all year round, this week they got a little extra focus along with new instruments available during Outside Time.
Last Week of November: Since we don’t have school next week, this is our last week with brown as our Color of the Month. We’re making new shades of brown with playdough this week and spending time with our brown Tiny Things.
Here are 3 questions to learn more about our day:
What did you eat for snack today?
In the morning we had pumpkin muffins, jello jigglers, sweet pickles, dill pickles, tomatoes and apples. Thank you for our feast, friends!
In the afternoon we had Doritos, mac and cheese with corn, apples and granola! Thank you friends!
What color did you use for scribbling?
Our Scribble Art is getting more colorful because children can use whatever color they like! Today children practiced stopping their scribbling when the bell rang. Very tricky!
Why did Minnie not play with Freddy in our story today?
She wanted to spend all her time eating spaghetti! This is a good reminder that when someone doesn’t want to play with us they might have other things to do!
Coping Skill of the Week: Scribbling
This week we are scribbling! This is a skill that young children usually find satisfying. If they don’t have the strength to press hard enough for pencils, crayons or pens, provide markers so even the slightest movement can create marks.
