Lesson Plans: March 11 - 15

We've been learning about taking care of our bodies for the past several weeks - going to the doctor for annual immunizations, how to keep our teeth healthy through dental check-ups, daily brushing and flossing - as well as learning about our eye and ear health. We've added some healthy foods to try to give our body parts what they need - crunchy celery and cream cheese for our teeth, avocado bread for our eyes, spinach for good general popeye-ness. 


This week we will continue to learn about nutrition and good food to eat. Some of the books we will have in our library to read at story time include Alex Eats a Rainbow and Eating the Alphabet. Taste testing some unusual fruits and vegetables and making good things to eat are on our plate (ha!) this week, and we can add a little math by graphing personal preferences. Process art (experimenting with different materials with no end project in mind) will be available all week.

If you have colorful produce advertisments from your grocery store, please bring them in next week! We would like to have lots of examples of fruits and vegetables in all different colors.

Dear Mama - Our Plans for May 6 - 10

Image
IT'S ALL ABOUT THE MAMA'S   this week, and those who show up to do the work of a mama. We will read lots of stories at circle times about the special bond between mother and child, including Me and Mama , a mama for Owen, My Mama , and more.  Of course we will be making some sweet crafts for special people, learning some sweet songs, and just generally celebrating the women in our lives.  S usan's favorite song about the love for a mama - from Tupac to his mother Afeni. (We will NOT be listening to this in class 😊) Our mamas read to us, bake with us, explore and play with us. They are patient and kind and joyful. Thank you for being our mamas.
