Travel Teach Repeat

This week was community (places we go). I read The little Red Hen (makes a pizza ) on Monday. After reading that book the kids went to small groups and created their own pizza with construction paper scissors and glue.

Then on Friday we made our own real pizza with soft tortilla, sauce and cheese. They had fun!

In dramatic play we decorated like Kroger, add a cash register some food product and play money. The kids wrote out a shopping list and they would go in the store and shop for whats on their list.

We made candy corn out of ripped paper. I gave each child an orange paper, white paper and yellow paper. They had to rip each piece of paper into small pieces of paper and then glue them on each section . I wrote the color word on the section where they would glue the paper. This was a great fine motor skills.

Little kids love balloons and they love hands on activities so we try and come up with hands on science activities that they can do on their own. So one of the activities was filling the balloon with air using baking soda and vinger. I tested it out with my kids first to make sure it would work as planned. We placed a reasonable amount of vinger in the bottle first. Then we took a funnel. Wrapped the balloon around the smaller part of the funnel and filled it with baking soda. Then we attached the balloon to the opening of the bottle and dumped all of the baking soda in the vinger. From there the balloon would fill with air causing it to blow the balloon up.

This was my first SLANTbox! I was so excited, I love giving and of course I love recieving things. Its really hard to keep in contact with people because your lives are busy. Anywho. I received my SLANT in the month of October. My SLANT buddy that was sending to me was from New Zeland, so that was excting chatting with her learning some things about her country also so she put a couple of things that where local in New Zeland some things for me to try. When my SLANT arrived I was so excited I opened it right away and everything in it I love!

I'm sitting here relaxing on this Sunday evening. Tomorrow is Columbus day so our school is closed. Tuesday will be. Teacher work day so I have to attend a workshop that day from 8am -3pm . I went to a couple of days of training last week for GA prek and learned a lot of things. Although I have taught GA prek before I guess a lot have changed. One interesting thing that stood out to me that I was doing was letter of the week. They suggested for us not to do that just implement the letter everyday in print around the room or activities. All I have done this weekend is rested. Been lazy I don't even think I went out of the house this weekend. To go to church and that's it .
