Weekly Activities

Preparing the mask. I can't believe it is almost August!!!  This week our book was "If You Give a Pig a Pancake" by Laura Joffe Numeroff.  We explored the story through art, music and movement. Using their creative  skills,   the children made pig masks complete with curly tails on their hamhocks.  Wearing our masks, we played song games but the hit was the "Pig Hokey Pokey".  A game of "What Time is it Mr. Wolf" ended group time with a very hungry wolf chasing the little pigs. Sharing resources. Waiting for Mr. Wolf

 This week our book study is "Honey, Honey, Lion" by Jan Brett.  We learned how bees collect nectar from the flowers.  Being bees, the children communicated to the other bees through a waggle dance to indicate they found some flowers. Looking for nectar. Found the nectar. Bringing the honey to the hive.  Once the bees found the nectar, they returned to the hive to fill the honeycombs with honey.  The children have asked to have a honey taste test at the end of this week.
