Week  5

E for Explore.

We had Joy school at the park today 10/8. All the children played until everyone arrived or until 9:30.They had fun climbing and running around. We then had circle time. Started with “whom as here”, next the Helper chart, prayer, pledge and calendar Kelea drew a triangle for us. We went right into our lesson for the day, which was exploring of nature and our surroundings. Stories were “A Closer look” and “The Look Book”. Then we sang the song “an Austrian went yodeling”. We then went exploring with some toilet paper rolls I had made into “lookers” or binoculars for the kids to use while on their search for some animals. I had place in a small part of the park pictures of animals on the trees. They had a fun time looking and bringing them to me. We finished gathering them up and we went back to do the activity. The activity was put some of the animals in an envelope. I had outlined an E and e for them to trace. Some of them were able to do it, others not so much. Some of them colored the animals others drew lines on each one and called it good. It was windy and cold today.  So paper was flying everywhere.  Snack time was after that -11:00.  That was a little crazy. We will see how Wednesday will go with this kind of schedule.
