Recap of our WeekWe have been buggy about bugs. With all the life popping outside our little ones can't get enough about bugs. We learned how to make spring boards so that our bugs could fly. Then we wanted to see who could launch theirs the furthest. In the art center I found some of our little ones creating scenes from the Grouchy Ladybug. They used oil pastels and stickers that they found. We had bugs turning up in the writing center. The light table turned into a frog pond with bugs and all.

Down on the FarmAfter reading the book Big Red Barn children were given the opportunity to create their own Big Red Barn scene. This child used watercolors, permanent markers and collage material to create her scene. The children are still observing the progress of our beans in the jar and recording what what they are seeing.

Here's what happened last weekWe had a group discussion about planting after we tallied which bean we thought would grow the tallest. After we planted a variety of bean so the children could see how they grow. The bean jar was placed in the science center with a glow light handing above it. Day 5 the beans had already began to get roots on them and the children documented what they were seeing. At work time the children painted a carpet tube different shades of green so that we could turn it into a beanstalk. The beanstalk was placed in the science center next to the bean jar. Children measured the beanstalk using Jack and Giant foot prints, they then recorded their findings. During small group time we worked on farm yard rhyming words. We also worked on saying and writing our numbers. Down on the Farm Week 2Learning about a Working Farm What do working farms do for us?
