Happy Friday! We began our day continuing our jungle craft with paint and stamps. We showed each other our paintings and went to play with play dough after. We made shapes with D and shared the play dough.
Today, D read a book. It was a silly story called, “That’s Good, That’s Bad” by Margery Cuyler. All the teachers asked us about the story!
Ii : Oh! A hippo!
K : Red (balloon)
Ma : Tucan!
Ii : Pipo? (hippo)
D : Do you think it’s good to see a scary snake?
Ma : Scary! Too scary!
Dn : It’s funny!
D : What animal is this?
Ii : Giraffe!
D : And this?
Ii : Big elephant!
D : And this one?
Ii : A lion…?
Ma : But the lion is scary!
D : What is this animal? Is this a bird?
Ma : No!
Dn : No!
My : No..
Esmi : K do you think it is a bird?
K : I don’t know.
Esmi : Well it has wings. How many?
Ma : Three!
Esmi : And it has a …?
Ii : Beak!
Esmi : Yes. It is a bird because it has wings and a beak. This is called a stork.
Petals : Stork!
Nimo : Are you happy when you see mommy and daddy?
Ma : Yeah!
Ii : Happy!
My : Happy!
Ma : Happy mommy or daddy!
We had circle time with Esmi after story time with D. We talked about the jungle, animals, and plants. We also talked about the differences between a forest and a jungle! We played a game after talking about the jungle. For the game, Esmi hid the animals all over the room. We looked for the animal based on the sound it makes.
Esmi : This week we learned about a forest right?
Dn : No! Jungle!
Esmi : Where did we see a jungle today?
Ii : At…there! *points at book*
Esmi : What is a jungle?
Dn and Ma: I don’t know…
Esmi : What color is the jungle John Dyer painted?
Dn : Blue!
Ma : Yellow sand!
Ii : Pool!
Ma : Orange! I see fish!
Esmi : What color is a real jungle?
Ii : Green!
Esmi : What animals live in the jungle?
K : Gorillas!
Ii : Elephant!
Ma : Alligator!
Petals : Tiger. Monkey.
K : My brother has that! (a parrot)
Dn : Tucan!
Ma : Beak!
Dn : Mouth.
Ii : Hornbill?
Ma : One orange and one orange (comparing a Tucan and Hornbill beak)
Dn : And yellow!
Ii : Rainbow! (Parrot)
Ma : (Parrot) Cloud. Face! White like a cloud!
When we finished, we got ready to go to the park with Flowers and Buds. We finished our day with lunch and a nap. Thank you all for another fabulous week! Hope you all have a great weekend and see you for Week 5: The Arctic!
