Sorry parents for the delay in Blog posts from last week! We had some internet issues that needed to be resolved over the course of a few days. But I still got pictures of these cool kiddos working hard at Harmony's House!
On Thursday we did some neat art that was also a sensory experience. Each child was given a bubble wrap cut out shaped like corn-on-the-cob. We have been talking about Fall time being a busy time at the farms because farmers are working to harvest all the remaining fruits and vegetables before Winter comes. The bubble wrap "corn" was super bumpy to paint on and the children remarked how funny it was under their brushes. They were given red, brown, and yellow paint. Not every corn cob is yellow you know! They were encouraged to paint their corn in the way they liked.
After the bubble wrap was printed and declared "done," the children pressed a paper down on top of the bubble wrap to make the print. These are the results!
Preschool children can learn to make "Concept Maps" or "Idea Webs" that connect ideas. For Circle Time, we created this web to review all of the concepts we have talked about in the past few weeks related to Fall. We also used the web to anticipate what we might be learning next about Halloween! The children chimed in with lots of ideas which Ms. Harmony represented with both pictures and words.
