Emily, my helper, brought in her pet frog she has had for six years. It was so amazing looking...even fake looking. The kids got to hold and pet it. Thank you Emily!
Choice Time. Play dough. The kids played with all the attachments that go with it...like rolling pins and play dough scissors. Thank you Michael!
Literature. We read Madeline.
Handwriting Without Tears. We practiced writing the letter E correctly.
PE. In Madeline, Miss Clavel said "Thank the Lord they are all well." We talked about how we can keep healthy by exercising, washing our hands, etc.
Math. How many hearts are you? Madeline is the smallest of all the girls. We measured each kiddo and it would be fun to put all the hearts up on a graph to see everyone's height.
Madelyn (my helper) was a good sport and was measured too.
In the book, the twelve girls are always in two symmetrical groups of six. I brought in 48 coins and put them all in groups of 12 to represent the girls. What if the girls want to go down two sets of stairs and are in equal groups? How many would be in each group? We worked it out and counted it out as a class. Now, the girls want to go to three different water fountains. Lastly, the the girls wanted to eat in four tables.
Art. In Madeline, the girls feel sorry for a soldier that hurt his leg in the war. We talked about empathy and feeling sad when others are sad. We talked about how we can make flowers and give them to people...maybe elderly people or some neighbors. A couple of kids came back on Thursday and had already handed out their flower to someone!
Journal. These are the nice acts I do for other people...
Science Experiment. In Madeline, the artist drew a variety of pictures...some monochromatic, some mostly yellow, and some colorful. We experimented with color. We made orange, purple, and green and lastly they made their own concoctions. The kiddos looooved this!
Spanish. We read a book in Spanish about colors and practiced our colors.
Yoga and meditation. The kids did so awesome with their meditation! It is such a great tool to help them think positive thoughts, focus, and learn to feel peaceful.
Music. We danced to some fun music and did some movement songs.
Great Day Great Day Great Day!!!
