Hi There! Yesterday one of my students brought in a slug to share with the class. It then allowed us to explore the wonderful world of the gastropod mullusc or the shell-less slug.
Just kidding!! Some of the girls did not think the slug was wonderful. However they were intrigued to find out that the slug was covered in slime that stops predators from picking them
up and eating them. Later we all went outside and released the slug back into the environment.
Today, our class learned about the lifecycle of a butterfly. We worked with the lifecycle of a butterfly lesson in the science area and we also watched a video. We learned that a caterpillar that is hatched from an egg is called a larva and it eats and grows until it is ready to make itself a chrysalis. Inside the chrysalis the caterpillar becomes a pupa that starts to go through a metamorphosis. Did you know that metamorphosis means change? When the pupa has completed its metamorphosis a butterfly will emerge from its chrysalis. The children found the fact that a caterpillar eats its eggshell as its first meal after hatching from its egg very funny!
Below is a link to the video our class watched:
Today we used our ears to help us with our lesson!
We worked in the sensorial area and used our sense of hearing to work with the sound cylinder lesson. We listened to a sets of blue and red cylinders and matched the cylinders that sounded the same. We heard sounds that were quiet and sounds that were loud.
The children are still excited about being able to help our Earth! They are trying their best to remember to turn off the lights and water faucets when we are not using them and grabbing one or two napkins to dry our hands.
The children had a fun time in Soccer Shots
Welcome back!!
This morning the children were in great spirits as they started off their day. The excitement continued as we headed to music to see the one and only Mr Jason.
The children were happy to see “Bob the Clam” again and see his funny antics. They also enjoyed playing “Name That Tune” as Mr Jason played different songs on the flute,
which he brought in to share. Our time in music came to an end with a rousing dance party number called “Eat It!” Which was dedicated to all the picky eaters. See you later alligators!!
Welcome back, we hope everyone had a great weekend and enjoyed the beautiful weather.
We worked in the sensorial area with a new geometric shape lesson. We sorted cubes, prisms, spheres, cones, and pyramids by color. The children are excited to work with our new lesson.
In music class we got a visit from Bob the Clam. He brought a flute that he wanted to play with his eyes. (the children thought he was very silly). Mr. Jason showed Bob and us the correct way to play the flute by playing songs for us to guess the names of. Mr. Jason brought shakers for us to play along as he played his guitar. We had a great time!
