The letter Bb and Fall

    Books from these past two weeks included Best House Ever by Richard Scarry, The Grand and Wonderful Day, The Leaves are Falling One by One and Bear's Busy Family. We explored colors with I am a Rainbow. New books were added to our book area with the letter Bb in the title. For our movement activities, we danced to Veggie Tale silly songs and favorites from The Learning Station. We also tossed balloons with paper plates and threw sock balls in clothes baskets (not pictured).

    Some of our sensory activities included working with play dough, Rice Krispies, dominoes and buckets in the sensory table and boats. We also explored gourds in the sensory table and on the light table with our blue fish. We also explored with boxes and the scale with the gourds but I was unable to get a picture.

 

 

 

   

 

 

 

     We enjoyed transferring gems, building boxes from blocks and using buckets on the light table.

 

 

 

 

     Art and craft activities included rainbow squish art to go along with the Dolly Parton book, exploring the letter Bb and then balloon painting with the balloons, bubble wrap printing and letter stamping.

 

 

 

 

 

   We had the opportunity to explore John Chapman's life (Johnny Appleseed) and made our own applesauce. We also made an apple craft to go along with the story after exploring the seeds within the apples.

 

 

 

     Our final project included some small pumpkins that were donated by a family. We used the pumpkins to mix red and yellow paint for orange.

 

 

   Our next theme will include the letter Cc along with community helpers. We will also continue our look at fall as we explore spiders and bats. Happy Fall!
