Piano!

What type of Animal could play a piano? The children explored by pretending to be different animals. They demonstrated how different animals might play a piano. 

 

The children listened to a story about different animals that could play a variety of instruments. 

Dance time!

S is my helper during circle time!

Snow again!

I asked M to count 10 stars by tapping his foot on each star.

C is counting 5 stars.

G is excited because it is her turn to count stars. 

Instead of tapping her foot on each star, S decided she wanted to pick them up. 

 E is sorting sheets of paper by color.

M matched two purple strips of paper.

C is matching the green strips of paper. 

The kids are cutting the music notes apart, so they can play a matching color game.

E is very good at using scissors.

Way to go!

It is much more fun to place the music notes into the pink pot. 

C is pretending to be a bear playing a piano.

Ice!

     Mother Goose Time!

Circle Time!

M is the calendar person for the month of December. 

E is the weather person for December. He said it was snowy outside, so he is looking for the sign that represents snow. 

The kids are sorting the blocks into groups of seven.

M is pretending to build an ice structure.

E is attempting to scoop crushed ice with a spoon.

C is having a hard time trying to scoop the blocks of ice. They are very slippery.

C is pouring vinegar into a cup.

E is adding a few drops of red food coloring to the vinegar.

M sprinkled baking soda on the ice.

Now, M is using a dropper to pour vinegar onto the ice.

The vinegar and baking soda caused the ice to make a fizzing sound.

Ice Fishing! The kids experimented with ice and string. E attempted to pick up ice with a string, but he was unsuccessful.

M helped me pour water on the ice. Then he poured salt all over the top.

S is trying to pick up the ice with the string.

It was a success. The ice, salt and water mixture melted the ice on the string. 

E is decorating his house.

G is getting really good at drawing. 

S likes to climb onto the couch. 

E is using his dropper to drip paint onto his house.

C is sprinkling white glitter over the paint. This will create a silvery effect.
