Holiday Traditions and Celebrations

Next week we will begin our discussions

on Holiday Traditions and

Celebrations!

Please let us know if you would like to come in and share with the class,

your families traditions and celebrations!

We would LOVE to have you!!!

Tuesday!

We did an ice experiment with colored ice cubes.

We first made the colored cubes and then

we mixed the cubes together, by the primary colors,

let then we let them melt and we made secondary colors! 

We began working in our Color Journals today!

Once the ice cubes melted, we put tissue in the cups to see the colors better.

Tomorrow we will look at the tissue and we will notice something amazing!

Make sure to ask me tomorrow what that AMAZING thing is!!!

Monday...

Color Mixing!

During Station time, one of our stations is 'Meet With The Teacher'

which will usually be an activity that is best done in a small group!

Today, we worked on color mixing at this station.

We mixed lots of different colors together to see what it made!

Everyone will complete one of these sheets by the end of the week.

We have begun a color chain!

We are hoping enough children will make a chain to be able to drape

all around our room!

Today in your child's pouch is a turkey feather!

Please help your child decorate the feather

with things they are thankful for.

They can be decorated with:

-pictures

-drawings

-words

anything they would like!

Here is our turkey we will decorate!
