WEEK OF 10/15-10/19

MONDAY~ART

TUESDAY~COOKING
To begin our cooking lesson, we read the story The Popcorn Dragon.  Next, we popped popcorn in a real popcorn popper.  We discussed what helped the kernels to pop into popcorn....heat, the oil, etc.  The children enjoyed watching the popcorn as it popped.  Of course, the best part was eating it! 

WEDNESDAY~SWIMMING

In today's swimming class, Mr. Yakscoe introduced the students to inner tubes.  He demonstrated to the class how they float and how to use them when swimming in the pool.

THURSDAY~DRAMA

Mrs. Bateman read the story, Bear Feels Sick.  Then, the children acted out the different animal characters in the story.  This was the perfect activity to do in our pajamas!

FRIDAY~DISCOVERY 

To begin our Discovery lesson, Mrs. Terwin read the story, King Pom and the Fox.  She then showed the class a pomegranate.  We discussed where they were grown and what part of this fruit one eats.  Children had the opportunity to take apart part of the pomegranate.  Removing the seeds is a great fine motor activity.  If they wanted, children could eat the seeds as they removed them.
