Morning Art Activity:
We finally started our Keith Haring Art project today! Our teachers printed out some of Keith Haring’s drawings of people and we used them as stencils. We chose a person we wanted to paint and put it down on a piece of white paper. Next we chose a color of paint and use the roller to paint the whole page. After we were done painting and we removed the stencil, we had a cool outline of a person! Once we were done painting, we played with the play dough or the magnet shapes.
Circle Time:
We all finished going to the toilet, washed our hands, then drank some water. We sat down in a circle and talked a little about how we listen to guests because we had O (S and L’s tutor) come to teach us more about Chinese New Year! We joined our other friends in Buds Class and together we listened to Olivia and did a wonderful job with her little quiz game!
O: Today is the first day of Chinese New Year!
Petals: Happy New Year! Xin nian kuai le!
O: What color do you think is important for Chinese New Year?
M: Red!
H: Red!
O: Why is it important?
Y: Nian
L: I’m not scared!
O: That’s right! Nian was scared of red and loud noises! That’s why red is so important. What can you think of that is red?
K: Flag!
L: Apple
M: Oni
O gave each of us a special prize to take home for participating in her quiz game! We put our presents in our backpacks then sat down for circle time. We sang the 7 Continents Song and then put the Chinese flag on our map!
Nimo: Who came to Buds today?
