Moving in March in the 3's!

Hi everyone!

Well, these rainy days did not keep us down! It may have been raining outside, but we filled our week with rainbows inside!

Our books this week were There Was An Old Lady Who Swallowed A Clover by Lucille Colandro, and Peppa Loves St. Patrick's Day. It was a little introduction to the fun of St. Patrick's Day.

What was NEW in centers this week?

Art- We used watercolor paint to make rainbows on coffee filters, then added smiley faces to clouds to add to our rainbows. 

Easel- The children used different shades of green dot markers to fill in a shamrock.

Math- Strengthening our number skills and fine motor skills, the children matched the number on a key to the number on a lock and twisted to open the correct lock.

Playdough- We have green playdough this month! Using shamrock dough cutters and rainbow pipe cleaners we've made lots of fun things!

Discovery- Magnetic wands helped us discover the magic of magnets! We could pick things up inside a bottle using just the "magic" wands!

Sensory- We now have rainbow beans, pieces of gold, and pots to scoop, count, sort, and play in.

We hope you all have a wonderful weekend!

Warmly,

Julie Haynes and Christina Renoni
