Happy Monday everyone. We started our week playing with wooden dolls and wooden furniture set. Some of us added the finishing touches to our Franz Marc inspired oil painting. We used a variety of colors for the background, almost like a rainbow and used blue to draw our horse like Franz Marc with oil crayons. We looked at a toy horse to see the shape of a horse and do our best to draw the body based off the shapes we learned last week.
For circle time, we talked about “Give me 5” and what kind of people we see outside of Ohana. Most of us answered mommies and daddies. For the second part of our circle time we took a stroll around the area to see people and housing. We saw many people and homes.
