Circle Time. The kids shared their collages about America.
Art Time. Sticker Paintings. I gave each child a color copy of the American Flag and a set of blue, red, and star stickers (I got all the stickers from an office supply store). They matched all the dots and stars (red dots on the red stripes, blue on the blue part and put stars on the stars).
Academic Time. Alphabet tracings of America. Click on image below to print.
Math Time. Spider windsocks. The kids cut out spider legs and moved them to make them dance. Now they just need some string and a pin to hang it up. They had a lot of fun with their "dancing" spiders. Click on image below to print.
Snack and a Story. Coconut Pineapple Smoothie.
Ingredients
1 C Pineapple
1 Banana
2-3 Kale Leaves
1 C Coconut water or 1 Can Coconut Milk
Directions
Place ingredients in a blender and puree until smooth. Serve cold.
Music Time. We danced to Yankee Doodle and the Star Spangled Banner.
Quiet Reading. I took my kiddos to the Katie Wheeler library to pick up a bunch of patriotic books.
Science Experiment. We made and decorated cookies with red, white, and blue frosting, marshmallows, sprinkles, and white tapioca beads. Cooking is always a science experiment.
Games.
Here, Jonathan is showing us a snail he found.
Random Thoughts:
Grant: He wore a donkey watch of Apollo's today and informed me that the time was sixty and then we would have quiet time-he LOOOOVES setting the timer on the microwave for quiet time; He is so helpful and always wants to pass things out to his friends and asks to help; he told us all today during circle time about his watch and Shrek; when I said we were decorating cupcakes he asked if we were making them and said we were chefs and laughed.
Jonathan: Jonathan patted Donny's back (like he was his little buddy-it was cute) and said "are you glad we're watching fireworks" to which Donny replied "yeah"-just a cute little gesture; today Jonathan said "I love you, Miss Robyn"; Jonathan is doing awesome in quiet reading and was totally into his books today; he told everyone he wanted to be in the Army today as he showed his AMAZING collage.
Nicole: She is such a sweetie and is so thoughtful-she gave Halley a book during quiet reading she knew she would like; when we were making our cookies she had to make sure she made one for her brother; she was very proud of her collage today and told about each part; I can always tell which project is Nicole's because there is color everywhere and it's always laid on thick.
Halley: All the kids had stories today and Halley's was about the sleep over she had. We made cookies for our parents and Halley had to make one for Sabrina; she is always all around great-she loves the activities, has fun, is funny, plays well, is always smiling, she adds a lot of joy to our preschool.
Donny: Donny's story was about how he played with his dad (I can tell he really loves his dad by how much he talks about him); he worked very hard on his letter tracings today even after things were cleaned up; Jonathan said "I don't like writing" when we were doing our letters and Donny said, "Do you like to ride on rides?" and Jonathan said he did-funny; I told the kids it makes me feel bad when they don't like what I make for them (they'll sometimes say yuck before even trying it)-right away Donny said "Yum, It's good for my body).
Apollo: He and Donny worked hard on their letters-Apollo is very careful about getting his letters just right; We got a book about Apollo 13 the other day so he thought it was his book and he told Grant that it was his book but that he could read it; Apollo was excited about something today and said that it would be a "Super Blast" to which Donny said "Super Brass".
