 Monday


Our snack name caller for today.


Music class









Learning a new song and dance



From music to math, on Monday. Michelle had us finding different numbers of objects.



Finger counting and object counting








Working on our wall alphabet






Finding the letters of our name


Beading them in order


Creating another alphabet letter




Tuesday


Here is a demonstration of this week's Chachacha Chachachallenge. At the hardest level, it involved using two hands simultaneously to flip rows of cups in opposite directions. 


The Catbirds were up for the challenge





PE class



Lots of balance and gross mototr coordination skills.








Working on our alphabet










We took the long way home from gym class and stopped in to visit Amy, an upper school art teacher. We were shocked by her classroom!


She invited us to take a tour around



Then we toured the art on display. Friends are encouraged to talk about what they notice and like, and why (or vice versa).



Wednesday

Friends tried out our guitar today.






Making shaker bottles with Kaya



Making mud to make a letter

Friday


More letters




We built a fort inside




Today we made watercolor paint from used up markers.







Dramatic play was quite busy





More paint making. The Catbirds used pliers to remove the marker tips, as we continue to develop fine motor strength and coordination.








Today we voted with our bodies on which color we should make next. Friends counted and figured out which color had the most votes




Art class












The EC classes went to meet our 8th grade buddies for the first time today. We will be working with them on a year long literacy project. Stay tuned.






We went outside to draw on the sidewalk with chalk.
