Color Experiment
Happy Monday everyone! Hope you all had a fabulous day! We started our morning playing with Playdough, doing some crafts, and playing with the sensory table. On our Playdough table, we had the people figures again and we used the playdough to make things for them. Junnosuke used the playdough to make something for the fire fighters so they don’t get burned! On our craft tables, we continued working on making Sakura flowers. In our sensory table, we had nature things inside, twigs, grass, and leaves. We also had colored bowls and tiny colored sticks inside. We had to search inside the nature stuff and find the colored sticks then put them in the same color bowl! It was fun and a great workout for our little developing hands.
We started our circle time singing the “Hello Song” nicely so that our new friend could hear us and learn our names. Our new friend introduced herself, “My name is A”, welcome to Petals Class A!
