Pre K - B Fingerpaints the First Letter in Their Name

Today it was Pre K -B's turn to do some finger painting.  Thank you to the parents that were able to come help.

Fingerpainted Initials

We are working at recognizing our names in print.  Today, some parents came to help with finger painting over the first letter in the children's names.  Thank you to all those who were able to come. 

A Shaving Cream Sensory Experience and Name Recognition

For the past two days, the students have had fun playing in shaving cream.  Some practiced printing letters in the shaving cream.  Others wrote their names in the shaving cream.  This lead to some children creating works of art with their names at the Art Center. 

Chocolate Pudding Finger Painting

This week a parent came to help us with a delicious art experience--chocolate pudding Finger Painting.  Thanks to her help, the children enjoyed a different sensory experience. 

 

Finger Painting: Yellow and Red

This week, we finger painted with red and yellow paint.  We saw that yellow and red mixed together makes Orange....perfect for pumpkins and jack-o-lanterns!

This little fellow did not want to get his fingers messy, so he asked to use a paintbrush.

Next week, when the paint is dry, we will add stems to our pumpkins and turn the pumpkins into 

jack-o-lanterns by adding eyes, noses and mouths.

Planting Flowers

We have planted beans and marigolds in Pre K and we will be watching anxiously for them to sprout.  At a play center, we have artificial flowers, soil and other props to play with.  The kids are enjoying this activity.

Early Literacy

We are continuing to talk about letters of the alphabet in Pre K. Children are interested in the letters  in their name and some children recognize the letters in classmates' names.  We have fingerprinted over letters of the alphabet and practiced printing letters in shaving cream. Mmmm the room smells so nice when we play with shaving cream!
