As we blasted off into another week, we learned all about space. On Monday we discussed the difference between day and night, and how God made some animals special just for the nighttime. On Tuesday we looked up and studied the stars and the constellations that they make. We then made our own constellations by poking holes into a plastic cup, and then using a flashlight to shine them onto the ceiling. Thursday we talked about the moon and imagined where it goes during the day. Some creative answers were to the zoo, in the trash can, and to school! We then showed the moon phases in a delicious ways, with Oreos!
On Tuesday we also had firefighters come in to talk about fire safety. Sadly it was to cold out for them to bring their truck, but it was still fun to learn about what firemen do.
In math we are still working on adding, time, and money quantities. We are beginning to tell time to the half hour, and it is going great to far! Next week we are going to begin learning about the quarter, and that will be all our coins!
For our art craft this week we learned about Vincent Van Gogh and his painting Starry Night. We then made our own version of Starry Night using paint and crayons. We first swirled paint together. The next day we sprinkled different colors of crayons together and melted it in the oven. The result was a swirly starry painting!
Upcoming famous painters!
Next Week...
Next week is summer time! We will be learning all about temperature and summer activities. Thursday will be beach day, so bring a swimming towel! I'm sorry I haven't quite got the progress reports out yet. They're coming!
