Our first five day week was filled with exploration of apples, sensory experiences, and boxes. Mr. Vetter stopped by and explored the shaving cream with us for a bit.
We heard a flannel board story about Little Bear and his quest to find "a little red house with no doors, no windows, a chimney on top, and a star inside". In the end we found a star inside a real apple. Later in the week we read a Dr. Seuss classic Ten Apples Up on Top and we made a class book about how many apples we could thought we could balance on our heads. We finished up are week with an apple tasting party--we tasted and rated red, green, and yellow apples.
Tuesday evening we held our first online/ Virtual Family Fun Day. We had a story, sang songs, and did a few activities including rainbow writing our name, matching the quantity of apples to numbered trees, and experimenting with real apples. Did you know apples float but their seeds sink?
We discovered large boxes in the hallway from the BenQ boards being installed in classrooms. After getting permission to have a couple, we explored them during playtime. The boxes were truly interactive!
Shaving cream in the sensory table and paint at the easel rounded out our sensory experimenting this week. We were truly immersed.
We enjoyed playing with our friends in other centers too.
During our upcoming week we will hear about Jack & the Beanstalk and have virtual parent-teacher conferences.
