Food

This week we have been learning all about food. We have been reading "Warthogs in the Kitchen". It is a fun book about warthogs that make cupcakes, but in their cupcakes are pickles. In the back of the book is a recipe for cupcake minus the pickles. The kids practiced dumping the ingredients into a bowl and we all took turns mixing the batter. The kids did a great job filling up the muffin pan.

Cirlce of Friends

The week of August 17th-21st we learned about our friends in daycare. We started off the week making a poster of our handprints. Each handprint was labled with the child's name...so the kids can look at it and learn name recognition.

We took turns painting on each of our friends paper. Each child picked a color to paint with, and they took turns painting in the box with their name on it. After a few minutes we switched papers and painted some more. When we were all done each child helped paint on everyones paper. Each child took home a ziploc bag with instructions on it...they then returned it the next day with photographs, a book and other favorites. We learned some new things about our friends.

Me, Myself and I

I was so busy last week I did not have a chance to post what my daycare kiddos did. First off we had a new little one start and he adjusted very well with the other kiddos.
Last week was all about me, myself and I. Tuesday we read the kissing hand, a cute book about a raccoon leaving his mom and going to school. Check it out one of my favorites. We then did an activity that goes along with the book.

On Wednesday we wrote our names in crayon on a piece of paper and then painted over them with watercolor paints. This is just one way that kids can learn name recognition.


On Thursday the kids told me some of things they can do by themselves and then they colored a figure to look like them.
