| Grow Flower Grow by Lisa Bruce was today's well-enjoyed story. | How do you make a flower grow? Spaghetti, pizza, and ice cream don't seem to work. When Fran gives up and tosses the flower pot outside, it gets rain, wind, and sunshine...and Fran gets a big, beautiful flower! |
Welcome back to school from spring break! It's hard to believe we are in the home stretch of our TK class. There's so much left to do!
We began the 'In the Garden' theme by learning what plants need to survive (see the above chart we made). Using the song and visual cues below helped reinforce this learning. Tomorrow we will learn the parts of a plant and plant a seed.
Check out today's new song about the five needs of plants:
As a special treat, Ms. Michelle conducted occupational therapy outside! What a beautiful day.... She brought these foam circles (I forgot their name) that the children used to keep balloons and balls afloat in the air by hitting underneath the balloons. The kids loved it! Ms. Kelly and I used different types of blocks to work on fine motor and visual discrimination skills. It was neat to watch the 'wheels turn' as the boys looked at a block tower and tried to replicate it. Poor Ms. Cortney was stuck leading the 'floam' center. The floam was extra gooey and stuck to everyone's hands...the reason for your child's pink palms!
