On Monday we experimented with play dough and mixed colors to make new colors. Yellow and red made orange, blue and red made purple and yellow and blue made green. On Wednesday we talked about what order the mice painted the pages. We painted sections of a large sheet of paper in order using potatoes. Messy and fun! I didn't get any pictures.

I took me a while to track down the book. When I looked over the activity suggestions from our curriculum, I <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhoNYf_BwP6mQoErUHevQu056f3O1kiSQPh67eRFOEHu6STxZP1EX7gEWW0oC5kZqjSqCi2WOA88VQziVuOjjclJVvFRbireGoE9BY-yBqRKU14OBlB-pmDYrqho50pQNVhig06XkoK0Ef3/s1600/weregoingonabearhunt.jpg"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 350px; FLOAT: right; HEIGHT: 305px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5579920427336474274" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhoNYf_BwP6mQoErUHevQu056f3O1kiSQPh67eRFOEHu6STxZP1EX7gEWW0oC5kZqjSqCi2WOA88VQziVuOjjclJVvFRbireGoE9BY-yBqRKU14OBlB-pmDYrqho50pQNVhig06XkoK0Ef3/s400/weregoingonabearhunt.jpg" /></a>felt they were more appropriate for a one-on-one setting, not a group. I was worried some might be scared as we read this story, since that has happened in the past as we sang the song. I almost dumped it. I toyed with reading Dr. Suess books and doing things for his birthday instead.<br /><div align="left"><br />But as I looked at the book again, I got a little inspiration. It truly has beautiful illustrations and the text is so inviting for a read aloud. I am glad I stuck with it. The kids LOVED it. The text was so fun to read. We can leave the Dr. Suess stuff for elementary school. :)</div><div align="left"><br />After we read the book the first time, we did a little sequencing. We talked about the beginning, middle and end. What came first, what came next and what came last. We looked for scenes from the story and put them in order. Here, Bronwen holds up a picture of a cave and finds its place. <img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 266px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5579917158253688946" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiH5t_-bNGXvhp0PSsXNDNYm3reg8exAkocNdnVI1WcSjBM3NUTR6RBF0eOy6LLwlC7r1VczeakCqqAs0l5A6YyPGENkSncxsgswJYnir9tfIeKSwzkZ3hjsn3nICBkDhYNnhYCLX4TCJcu/s400/DSC_1273.JPG" /><br /><br />After the second reading, we discussed our five senses. We talked about how the family in the book was able to enjoy their bear hunt because they used their five senses. The felt the grass, smelled flowers, squished in the mud, walked through the river, saw the dark forest, cave and bear! Then we did a little five senses exploration of our own.<br /><br />Bronwen uses her hands to feel the grass.<br /><br /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 266px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5579917077474627922" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgSWNrTFk1HvV6eT9xwLFCzR-KLdhuICohWDZqHsummb4PLj8_UJ8EERfpNCiRMUfx81DOlupnANwod3gzHKih2YnkpJfoB_k2wHaZz-c52lINtQflOWm-b6_9dw9_341w39lSADyZ0PYkE/s400/DSC_1347.JPG" /><br />Lincoln and Calli use their noses to smell the flowers.<br /><br /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 266px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5579917003053870322" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh344PCR6AxNUX9C4tdm1Jgk4lbY5x_EhK2UqqGB1cCtgmu5ajjJJoYwz3shheahgiQkzVku3W_Fgas0t6fNyisNFoHFUBZKwNNduyJnT7RxuA34ao-MqbbJjc1fR_UWCjEBdUzhtVjQjOh/s400/DSC_1348.JPG" /> </div><p align="left">Sydney and Paige use their ears to hear water splashing in the bowl.</p><p align="left"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 266px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5579925829452361890" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjbiKkx-tfhQVLNxerrHX6op3rBH3-ZWOR3Sm_rFq4gL9EpEx-wAZbcFWueA6nYvOimCxdf_kawSmLxuHz-0D_E9A-YO_LxOyJGu4KIYsQACZIFmJ88E4Sb2yFrqI3GvqufXFqgNc9azqyw/s400/DSC_1351.JPG" /><br />We spent some time working with letters.

I was amazed to see that our busy bees weren't as busy as before! They were far more engaged in the activities and could participate in them for much longer. It is wonderful to see that they are progressing.<br /><br /><br /><div align="left"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 266px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5539659942294071538" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhodhw5GSy8cL_Qc99j3uMPfyMyxTPtkjWA0RRSwppwPfrEG2v4FtBqXdWRyO2fab7EKinzhyphenhyphenvK_CIAeIO-7jUhG_ZCQC8pUaxZ-6Qf09uHBfHxmsBh_wVg14S3OZGCXla6XDtlO1vM0GZM/s400/DSC_0693.JPG" /><br /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 266px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5539659872498625042" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiwfWH1bSjoIntpBk3Axy5XhMct8-dlZmcjDupM7jEIAu3tiU2UhxJexdm3sI07akI4vPd7ps3xlKwQOFYivAahA-YsgPQEZNg0dtcz3vbFo3TBiIpQefWUYH_slujTjS1FC8zHKUitME7c/s400/DSC_0699.JPG" /><br />I noticed this also in their social development. Sharing different paints colors as we painted pumpkins? No big deal. Taking turns pulling each other in the wagon? Easy. Here, Evan lifts a tree branch so the girls could pass. Teamwork.

What a beautifully illustrated story with a tender message. I particularly loved one line from the book, "Bless our father and our mother and keep us close to one another." This story was a great lead in to our week before Thanksgiving as we were able to have a brief discussion on prayer, what is consists of, being grateful and kind and drawing close to our families. </p><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 324px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5539658760304056642" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhQds3sT2L_nYaoCON472916mLTAoqWnTTIIAAp1BXbPS0vUWxH-6eUw7dC3BZ9YzKETSyhuS4VDTjs5KyCwk0_BrIvug_bMpOEtoq5fdd4CMqb2nfPyaBMT5g6m6T78kCizRKNCeXcmvHU/s400/0027351904.jpg" />Afterwords we looked at the story <em>Alphabet City </em>by Stephen T. Johnson in preparation for some letter writing practice. We looked at the first few letters (A, B, C, D) tracing over them with our fingers on the page and then trying to write them in the air with our fingers. Then it was off to the tables where we tried to write these letters in shaving cream. Though this seemed to be a little above their skill level, the exposure and practice was great. Of course everyone also enjoyed the "ickiness" of the shaving cream, except Lincoln. I can't blame him.<br /><br /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 377px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5539657938854724178" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhfV_NO96L9Dfnr52IzfescPYe-x1wTtHgDPLoOys-TyqeQNcB8wCBGmjRhxiRcvk8ohmblT498Xw274t-WOhItLggmOSPiKYGxQBiw0XZ2ltsd2H5NjhQ9QfK5GkA0DVb4mT47amTlHl_d/s400/alphabetcity_cover.jpg" /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 266px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5539656408759469442" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJwzO-PBYdZra4oPHJ7Qa0Qie9dXBbgQ6_pRstbOArO8Ytv_P3jxLu7lja7dILltpPIm7eAFEMp4ZUA55xIG0x9sGHsRN3k_yO8lwViayzLV3jrVwqYqUnkYonAVoUyA3LAyuxUy3IN-wK/s400/DSC_0704.JPG" /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 266px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5539656155963090450" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgXPEmeq-fg1EHncj8C1c0EHClqX231Mt5tk4FJBxL8hLhBw8oeiU6h2g-tUqBIYWuyEpoxe3O3SGF177Ybs6LPZUQNnZwHKxvJei7MW8J1doAvTD6xNJHCLXGBru2oCkNRNdmCH2S0ous7/s400/DSC_0703.JPG" /> We also sorted shapes by color and put on puppet shows.<br /><br /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 266px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5539655918218697810" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg6yoBhzRDdfejzjyYg_jXaq5pRvBqYlb3DNJrI_ijq0mSe9sZNBxYYnmbwtXzUVL41u73T6VWbpicKICAyWBN-88cGje2QOjuW67KhljFp9dlih8Kmqxac-4gbEWru-Qm5lNmpVQpZfsth/s400/DSC_0689.JPG" /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 266px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5539655703261958658" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgR2OrFeri00KGa4m1YRruvSP_ofpL-zWR1ULcP_ewHENtRDntGUErjCK4SU9jtuuSxJo915VM3rJo2Kg3xsdCnYrOqMOv-TI2nLNPvBlTk44Mgwt5wuovMzXSa48L-uQ7aSztZMZlDxrMo/s400/DSC_0683.JPG" /><br /><br />A fun week and a great feeling to be back on track!Ashleyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15899566055489163480noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4645511714413779983.post-90024063604436073802010-11-08T19:19:00.001-08:002010-11-08T19:19:20.423-08:00This week's schedule....<div style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">9:00-9:30 Free Play</span><br />

<div style="text-align: center;">We headed to the pumpkin farm for our first field trip. We learned a thing or two about different kinds of corn, that pumpkins were a fruit, pet some farm animals, found our way through a corn maze, played on hay bails and picked out our own little pumpkins!<br />

The Big Green Pocketbook, by Candice Ransom was a hit amongst our Busy Bees. It is about a little girl who is proud to carry around her green pocketbook just like her mother's blue one. As they set out for a trip to town on the bus, the little girl's purse is empty, but is soon filled with fun things like lollipops, a pocket calendar, new crayons...each bus stop means something new for the big green purse. The little girl leaves her purse behind on return trip home but but the friendly driver saves the day.</div><div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
Our Busy Bees have never ridden a bus before but I think after reading this story they are hoping to in the near future. :) They each made their very own green pocketbook and filled it with lollipops and orange slices at the end of their day.<br />
<br />
They also practiced writing the letter "L" (for lollipop) </div><div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

<div style="text-align: center;">On Wednesday we talked about shapes and the difference between night and day. We had a craft to use shapes to put together things we'd find in the day (i.e. the sun made with circles and triangles) and the other side, night, with shapes to make the moon and stars.</div><br />

We read the book Ask Mr. Bear by Marjorie Flack. <br />
<br />

The kids loved it! They loved the idea of birthday's. What 3 year old doesn't? We played memory, guessing which animal suggested which gift Danny should give his mother for her birthday. Danny ends up talking to Mr. Bear in the woods who suggests he gives his Mom a "bear hug" for her birthday. They practiced giving "bear hugs" to one another. We sang "Happy Birthday" and each blew out their own candle on their mini cupcake.</div><br />

<div style="text-align: center;">We went outside and practiced trotting, skipping, galloping and running just like the animals in the book. They also traced each other with chalk and crawled through the tunnel where they made up and pretended a bear was hiding.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;">They made greeting cards for someone they love, perhaps someone who was having a birthday. It was fun to see their different ideas and how artistic they are. We also practiced cutting out animals and things we would find in the woods....and I learned quickly that cutting at this age was a crazy idea! :)</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;">Singing was once again a favorite among our Busy Bees. They quickly learned the words and actions to "The Cool Bear Hunt" and loved especially "swimming through the peanut butter river" and finally meeting the "bear in the cave." So cute. Watching them dance to "Rock & Roll Freeze" did not disappoint.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

It was a challenging one for our little group to sit through, perhaps because it had lots of words on each page and not a lot of action!:) What made the week successful, however, was the fact that we got to see and touch real rabbits. Everyone thought they wanted to hold the bunnies but when it came down to it, that was a little scary for them. Instead, our Busy Bees contented themselves with lots of touching, brushing, petting, and feeding the bunnies.<br />

We compared pictures of real bunnies to illustrations. We also compared stuffed bunnies to the read deal. We talked about baby animals vs. the babies we have at home (briefly). We bounced around like bunnies as well as imitating other animals when we were tired of sitting on the carpet!<br />

Singing time continued to be a favorite activity. The kids love "Scat the Cat", "Bubblegum", and "Mr. Rooster" and quickly taught the mommies how the songs should go.<br />
<br />
They spent time doing some pre-writing skills-- tracing over their names in large print and tracing wavy lines. We colored the letter A and a picture of a rabbit. We made fuzzy bunny tails out of cotton balls and had a brief geography lesson on the United States, looking at the states where our Busy Bees have grandparents. We talked about healthy habits and colored our lovely velvet posters reminding us of how to be healthy! Additionally, we worked hard this week at learning how to be in preschool, how to interact in a group setting, and how to take turns.<br />

I am excited to see how much our Busy Bees learn and grow over the course of the year. I think we will look back on these early weeks and marvel at how far they have come.<br />

P.S. Sorry to Megan and Christine, but I apparently focused too much on the girls with my camera.

Ashley was formerly a pre-school teacher. She has showed us the ropes, included a daily schedule to follow and is sharing her teaching goodies. I think we all are pretty sure that this co-op would not be the same without her!<br />
<br />
This week was mostly about establishing routines. Singing ended up being their favorite activity. Here they are making the hand motions to the song "Bubblegum."<br />
