I got out the rubber counters and took out one of each vehicle. Then I asked the children to choose a vehicle and tell me where we were going to go. The first child told me we were going to take a car to the airport. Then, the next child said we were going to take an airplane to Africa. The 3rd child said we were going to take a bus to see the animals. And the 4th child said we would take a helicopter over the land. The last child said we would take a boat to see the sharks. Thus, a learning unit was born. It was amazing to me that the children came up with this on their own and it was so comprehensive and perfect! </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">One of the things we learned was that there are 3 different climates on the continent of Africa. There is desert, grasslands called the Savannah, and the rain forest. Africa is home to the world's largest desert; the Sahara. The children each got a map of Africa and they glued yellow sand at the top for the desert; shredded green paper in the middle for the Savannah; and dark green leafy treetops for the rain forest. Then they used a blue crayon to color the ocean around the continent of Africa.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Once we were in Africa, we visited a village and learned that in the evenings, villagers often gathered to tell and listen to stories in front of a fire. We were fortunate enough to be able to take part in this one evening. The story told was based on an old African folktale. It was called Abiyoyo. After the first telling, it was repeated many times over our trip. The children also acted out the story like a play.</span><br />

<span style="color: lime; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><b>During week 4, children worked with wood and did a group sculpture and some individual sculptures. For the team project, they worked on arranging the wood on a base and gluing it down. It was challenging to see what would balance and if things would adhere to the glue in the way they wanted to. Lots of trial and error during this week! Some of them also worked on individual projects as well. After the glue dried, they painted the wood and added other embellishments that they chose to add. </b></span></div>

This month, the preschoolers focused on 3-dimensional art and sculpture. </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">During the first week, children experimented with paper to make art.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Children are using pencils to wrap the strips of paper around to make them curly. They also folded the paper back and forth accordion style. Great ways to help strengthen their fine motor muscles! </span></div>

<span style="color: #4c1130; font-size: large;">During the first week of April, I went on vacation in Florida and was able to bring back an abundance of exotic seashells. I had decided to focus on Nature Materials during April and this fit in beautifully. I laid out shells on trays with magnifying glasses and also included a book about shells. The conversation that was inspired was amazing. The children started their observations and immediately started commenting on the different types of shells, the different colors and sizes of the shells, and of course, how they could hear the ocean in the shells. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">I was so excited to use our new test-tubes for some more color experimenting. I added water to each test tube, and again gave them each the three primary liquid watercolors and pipettes. The children decided themselves which colors to put where, and how much. They really got engaged in adding one color to the water, adding a second to see what happens, etc. </span></div>

What we discovered though is that polyfil does not absorb liquid, so the colors did not really stay or mix on the polyfil. It led to a great discussion about absorption and what that means! I love teachable moments like this.</span></td></tr>

<span style="font-size: large;">We continue on our journey of mixing colors and start to learn the difference between primary colors and secondary colors; the name of the colors you get when mixing primary colors together in different combinations. This was a game we played at circle. Each child was given a heart and had to figure out if the color they had was primary or secondary and then they put it in the appropriate basket. As you can see, they mastered this game very well! </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">We spent the month of March mixing colors. We started by learning about the three primary colors, or first colors. We learned that you can't mix anything to get <span style="color: red;">red</span>, <span style="color: blue;">blue</span>, or <span style="color: yellow;">yellow</span>. But, what happens when you mix combinations of primary colors together? First, we made a chart of equations and tested out the different combinations. I wrote the different colors down to help them with spelling, but they were able to figure out which color was which by sounding out and figuring out first letters. Beginning reading!!</span></div>

<span style="color: lime; font-size: large;">The children love to hear my puppet stories and often beg for them during circle time. On this day, they each got to choose two puppets and make up their own story to share with the group. They chose from a ladybug, lion, bumblebee, frog, and pink elephant. They really enjoyed creating their own imaginative puppet stories. Storytellers in the making!!</span></div>

<span style="color: red; font-size: large;">Valentine's Day gives our classroom a great opportunity to work on some literacy skills. During Valentine's Week, the children were busy making cards for their friends. They worked so hard decorating and writing their names on the homemade cards. The bigger kids wrote their friends names as well! Great writing practice for these up and coming kindergartners. On Valentine's morning, they delivered their cards to their friends. They had to read the cards and find the matching names on the big envelopes. I saw some great reading!!! </span></div>

<span style="font-size: x-large;">February was a bit of a hodgepodge month. We finished up our sewing projects the first week. Then we spent a week doing some measuring. First, we used mittens (and gloves) to measure our bodies. Measure, mittens, math...Perfect for our letter of the week "M!"</span></div>

<span style="color: #274e13; font-size: x-large;">This was after the first melting before spring when the snow piles started melting...There is nothing better than when nature provides us with adventures. I just love how the children immediately became engaged with using sticks to measure how deep the puddle was and stirring the water around to see if there were any treasures to be found. So much great learning happening!! </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">I had decided to have the children make some noodle necklaces to help celebrate the letter "N". When the children tried lacing the yarn into the noodle, it was too tricky. Well, since we all had so much practice sewing, we took out the needles, threaded the yarn and <i>Voila</i>!! We sewed our noodle necklaces! The extra length from the needle worked perfectly to help the children thread the yarn through the noodles! </span></div>

<span style="color: purple; font-size: x-large;">The original plan was to do one month of sewing, but we weren't quite done with our masterpieces so we extended our learning by a week into February. We finished our sewing focus by choosing special final projects. Each child chose what they wanted to make and then designed it and sewed it together. A lot of great projects were made these last several weeks, and I hope the children will be inspired as they get older to do some sewing on their own, and/or bond with a grownup in their life that they can work on projects with. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="color: blue;">This was an absolutely fabulous project. Again, children chose which felt they wanted to use and designed their own pillows. They stitched designs onto the front of the pillow and then they stitched the felt together leaving one side open so they could put the polyfil in. Then they stuffed their pillows and sewed them shut.</span> </span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: lime; font-size: x-large;">The first project we worked on was to make puppets. The children decided what color felt they wanted to use and drew their design onto the felt. Then they used embroidery thread and tapestry needles to sew and stitch on the front of their puppet. Finally, they sewed the back and front together to create their finished puppet.</span></div>

</div>
<span style="font-size: large;">For the month of January, we focused on sewing. We had dabbled a little with sewing in December with some embroidery thread and felt. The children really enjoyed it, so I thought it would be great to focus on sewing for a whole month. Sewing is such a grounding activity. A few of the children's grandparents sew and it can be such a bonding activity to do. It is also great for building fine motor muscles in their hands which will help the children as they start writing more and more. We started practicing putting yarn in and out of embroidery hoops with burlap.</span><br />

<i><span style="color: blue;"><span style="background-color: white; font-size: large;">For many years, I
would set out pre-cut materials for the children to put together and make into
something. This is typically what is known as product art. I feel
there is value in doing things this way, as long as there is a balance for children
to do art that is open-ended as well. There is not as much creativity in
product art, but it does support following directions, and for some children
who need more practice with how to put materials together, it can be a first
step into venturing into more creative art. For this project, we did a
combination. We were going to all be making snowmen, but the children
were going to trace and cut the pieces, and decide what they needed for
accessories. Their first task was to choose a small, medium, and large
container to trace. Then they traced and cut out their circles.
Finally, they decided what else their snowmen needed; hats, stick arms
and legs, scarves, carrot noses, etc</span><span style="background-color: #f3f3f3; font-size: large;">.</span></span></i></div>
